Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 450SLC (1974)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

Classic 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC.
All original paint (icon gold). Caramel leather upholstery in great shape except for a crack in the back seat. Working sun roof, working AC. No rust. Beautiful chrome. Includes original Becker radio, complete with owner's manuals. Also comes with all original owners manuals for the car.
Sun fading on top (hood, roof and trunk). Passenger-side mirror is missing (just the actual glass piece, the mount is fine). Small broken plastic piece on the front grill (the internal mount for one of the external grill pieces). One of the sliders on the dash only slides halfway.
I bought this car from a broker (Dan Root, the contact for this ad) in November 2014. He'd purchased it from the son of the original owner, an Arizona lawyer who bought the car off the showroom floor, after the lawyer died (in his late 80s, I believe). When I bought it, it had 110, 799 miles and I paid $6, 000. I left it in the NM sun for a couple months (stupid) so now the sun damage is worse so selling it for less. I had a new alternator & battery put in.
With some paint work, this would be a really valuable car -- check blue book values!
Vehicle sold as is, no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
Videos and more pics on YouTube: here (a couple of the still photos, the ones next to the red Cherokee, are from when I first bought the car).
