1976 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Up for sale is our lovely 1976 Mercedes 450SL Convertible in a gorgeous sunflower yellow with saddle interior. Timeless in design, this iconic style is recognizable from the highways to the country club, the concours show field, and in-between.I acquired this car from my daughter and son-in-law who are expecting their first child. It's a nice driving vehicle, which recently completed a 250 mile drive with ease. They owned the vehicle a couple years and drove it nearly every week, caring for it like they planned to keep it forever. Family dynamics changed that...
If you are looking for a cute, fun convertible which is built in a style to never be replicated, this is your chance. A timeless classic, the SL-Series Mercedes Benz cars are wonderful driving cars and built before the era of disposable appliance automobiles. Should you appreciate that kind of thing, please keep reading...
