Description:
1980 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 450 SL, 74k Orig, California One Owner
A car is only original once and this is exactly what we have here. Every panel still retains a nice even layer of completely un-touched all original factory paint. There are no dents on the accident free body. The body is beautiful. Every panel is original to the car and the doors, trunk and hood close like a bank vault. The paint has lost most of it's luster, however the car is very attractive with a tremendous amount of patina. This Benz has aged gracefully....
The engine starts right up and is in excellent tune. Everything worked properly when tested. The acceleration is strong and positive. The car is smooth and runs extremely well. The car has all of the characteristics of a low miles well kept classic car. The transmission shifts smoothly and on the mark, it is a pleasure to drive....The brakes, steering and suspension all felt great on our test drive. All mechanical, electrical and climate control systems work. All gauges show accurate and normal readings. The original Becker Mexico radio is in Pristine condition and works great!

The owner kept the original hardtop for his other SL and prior to just removing it was the first time its ever been off the car. So this was the first time the soft top has ever been exposed. The chocolate soft top canvas is like new! The clear plastic windows do have some cloudiness but no yellowing or cracking. Everything locks down nice and tight and it all looks great! Fortunately we were able to source a matching hard top in the exact color which we will throw in for the new owner if he or she wants it.
This 450 roadster is just plain "nice". The new owner will be pleased with how original and authentic it is. Don't miss out on this one owner, rust free California car!
