Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (1978)
for sale

Price: US $1.00
Real euro car imported and federalized years ago. Limited production homologation special. Ferrari's GTO's are millions, this car is Mercedes Benz's Gran Turismo Omologato. This grand touring car was built to homologate the lightweight coupe to rally racing.
Beautiful light green, parchment interior with wool houndstooth inserts. Aluminum hood and decklid for light weight. Aluminum V8 installed while road cars used a smaller cast unit. The car has the personality of a racer, it will make you smile.
It runs and drives great. The car track ruts with the larger tires so maybe a new steering damper is in order. There are three rust bubbles we've found, and the top of the rear seatback and drivers seat side bolster show wear. The car comes with the original 14 inch Bundts, we have installed 16 in Mercedes wheels with the appropriate size tire to keep the speedo accuracte, 255/55. The sixteen inch wheels allow for the purchase of high speed rated tires the car needs, we cant find 14 inch high speed tires. The Pirellis on the Bundts are speed rated, but very old.
The car was sold from an estate after a very long term owner, then to a local collector before me.
Will ship worldwide, low reserve
