1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

Description

The R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL remains one of the brand's longest-running and most recognizable designs, pairing V8 power with durable engineering and grand touring comfort. By 1980, the 450SL had established itself as a fixture of the luxury-car market, offering a refined driving experience, removable hardtop versatility, and a level of craftsmanship that helped define Mercedes-Benz durability.

This 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Milan Brown Metallic over Palomino leather upholstery. Factory equipment includes a color-matched removable hardtop, dark brown soft top, automatic climate control, power windows, central locking, cruise control, heat-insulating glass, and more.

This 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is now offered with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
