This is a beautiful looking 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SE. This car has been garaged and protected from the elements since new. The only alterations to this car are the replaced radio & antenna, the addition of a windshield compass and the additional bumperettes. These items can all be easily removed and/or replaced if desired. This Mercedes vehicle has been serviced and checked out, and I wouldn't have any hesitateabout sending someone on their way anywhere in the country.

This Mercedes has 67,876 original miles. There has been only One Owner Since New, and we have the Original Title dated 11/14/1974. This Mercedes isa quintessential retro old school sedan that could be used as an everyday driver just as it is, or with very little effort this 450SE could quickly become a showpiece.

This Mercedes runs and drives very well. The 4.5L V8 engine starts easily and runs smoothly with lots of power, and the transmission shifts well. The owner installed a complete set of Pirelli tires which are showing most of their tread and the brake pads are in great condition as well. All of the power windows, door locks and radio are working, as well as the heat and air conditioning. The oil & filters were replaced last week and there isn’t anything about this car that would deter me from driving it anywhere.

The exterior of this Mercedes is in great condition. There isn't any body rust, and the rockers and undercarriage are in great condition. There is some paint checking, stone chips and minor imperfections. We considered having this car refinished but the body is in really nice condition and the naturalimperfections add to the patina and originality of this 40 year old sedan. There aren't any dents and the Dark Burgundy finish is very glossy over the entire body without any faded spots. All of the exterior trim and bumpers are intact and interrific condition.

The interior has been extremely well maintained and is in terrific condition. All of the seats are very clean without any holes, wear or other damage. All leather surfaces are soft and supple, including the driver side. The carpeting is very clean and fresh throughout this car. There aren’t any rips, holes or damage on the seats or carpeting in this Mercedes. All of the interior trim is intact and in excellent condition. There aren’t any cracks, fading or damage on the dash, rear deck or any of the door panels. This was a non-smoker owned vehicle and there aren’t any odors or burn marks inside this car.

We have the clear title in hand. This 450SE is a nice example of a clean vintage Mercedes in great condition that could be used as an everyday driver if desired.
