Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (1973)
Description:
Immaculately kept late '72 production run of the W107 series with low-compression 4.5 litre V8 and 225 HP. This was the last year of the 350SL badge and before the engine was reduced to 175 HP and burdened with the larger (and far less attractive) bumper assemblies. Have all original order/delivery documentation dating from Nov. 1972 with all original manuals and tool sets. I am the second owner and always garaged this beauty, driving only in fair weather. I have driven less than 1, 000 miles since taking ownership in 2011.
In 2011 installed:
4 new Bilstein shocks
4 new Coker Vredestein Sprint Classic Touring Tires 205/70/14 Radial Blackwall
New A/C and recharged with R134a
New wiper motor
New front control arms/bushings/bearings/tie rods
New battery/cables
New hoses and clamps
New belts
New Bosch ignition coil
New spark plugs/wires/distributor cap
Rebuilt idler assembly
In 2016 Installed:
New engine sub-frame and bushings
New sub-frame mounts
New sway bar end links
New lower control arm bushings
New fuses (all)
New A/C/ belt and tensioner
New rear differential oil and seals
New hood pad
Flushed and replaced all fluids and filters with regular oil changes (most recently in July 2016)
This classic roadster has a gorgeous original chocolate brown cloth top, as well as a matching hard top, also in beautiful condition. The windows on the cloth top have some superficial scratches, but the plastic is clear.
Custom rear jump seat in matching Beige MB Tex with 2 legal seat belts to replace the original carpeted bench seat, which I will also include in the sale. Also includes custom locking storm cover and a set of 4 jack stands.
This rust-free coupe is a great value for its age and restored condition. It draws a lot of attention from everyone wherever you drive. Be prepared for people to stop and ask you about it and tell you how beautiful it is! It is perfect for a daily driver. It starts and runs smoothly and has always passed emission inspections. The original Becker AM/FM radio still gets great reception and all speakers work well. Comes with a full-size integrated spare tire and all original keys with fob.
