Introduced to American buyers in 1972, the new R107 Mercedes-Benz SL line featured smooth 4.5-liter V-8 power and replaced the prior W113 generation 280SL. The new Mercedes would go on to enjoy the longest production run of the SL series through 1989. A major leap forward in sophistication, the 450SL featured a myriad of built-in safety features and was aimed squarely at the lucrative American personal luxury-car market. An automatic transmission was standard equipment, along with numerous luxury features including a removable hardtop for year-round enjoyment. With a base sticker price of $10,540, more than twice the average price of a U.S. car in 1972, the new Mercedes-Benz 450SL drew an exclusive clientele and appeared regularly on movies and popular TV show during the 1970s and 80s, including Dallas, Hart to Hart, Magnum P.I. and The Six Million Dollar Man.
Offered in immaculate condition throughout with under 75,000 (74,519 at time of writing) miles of use, this early-production 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an original U.S.-specification model. The recipient of a color change, this quality 450SL is finished in highly attractive Bronze Metallic paint over a Brown interior and complemented by a Tobacco Brown convertible top. Slimmer Euro bumpers complement the iconic body design and an auxiliary hardtop delivers all-weather comfort and style. Desirable features include an automatic transmission, Becker Europa II AM-FM radio, cruise control, factory ventilated wheel covers and a newer set of Cooper radial tires. The R107 generation Mercedes-Benz 450SL is a cultural and automotive phenomenon and this top-quality example stands ready to deliver an outstanding all-around experience.
