1974 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
GOOD MAINTENANCE PAPERWORK, RUNS GREAT!Not many mid-70s cars have aged better than this 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. Few cars can truly be called timeless, but the R107 SL definitely qualifies, and even today, nearly 25 years after they went out of production, they still command respect from the general masses. Despite the very affordable price tag, these cars remain grade-A cars to own and drive, and represent huge bang for the buck.
Like most convertibles, Mercedes roadsters always look best in light colors that seem to emphasize the car's sun-worshipping status. This 450SL represents everything that was right about the R107 roadster, a near-ideal blend of style and luxury that made it the premier luxury car of the era. The older repaint remains in exceptionally good condition, a testament to the quality of the materials and the care this car has received over the past two-and-a-half decades. Gaps and panel fit are to typical German standards and remain excellent today. Light colors tend to minimize any flaws, but this one has laser-straight flanks, crisply rendered body lines, and almost zero signs of road rash in any of the usual locations. All the chrome and stainless remains bright, and the US-spec rubber bumpers, which usually suffer from degradation in the sunlight, remain supple and clear. It's obvious someone loved this car for many years.
