1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The R107-era Mercedes-Benz SL roadster is one of the great long-running sports cars of the modern era — produced from 1971 through 1989 with remarkably consistent quality, and powered in its 450SL form by the smooth, torque-rich 4.5-liter M117 V8 that defined open-air grand touring in the 1970s.

This 1975 450SL is finished in gold over a black interior, and its 4.5-liter V8 sends power to the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a fabric convertible top that can be stored beneath a hard lid cover. This '75 R107 has been fitted with chromed 15" alloy wheels from a later model Mercedes-Benz, as well as an older cassette head unit.

This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is now offered with service records and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
