1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Mercedes-Benz 450 SL is powered by an innovative 4.5-liter V8 with overhead camshafts, fuel injection, breakerless transistorized ignition, sodium-filled exhaust valves, and positive valve rotators. The front and rear suspension is independent, yielding the envied Mercedes-Benz road "feel" that gives the driver not only excellent handling qualities but gives the 450 SL driver a smooth ride as well. For those who like their air conditioning courtesy of Mother Nature, top-down motoring is available as quickly as the snug convertible top is stowed in its home behind the seats. When an elegant closed coupe is desired, the removable hardtop can be locked down to create a quiet two-seater. This particular 1980 450 SL hails from the penultimate year of the “R107” model. These cars continue to catch the eye of enthusiasts and collectors alike thanks to timeless styling and usability due to Mercedes’ continuous commitment to being “engineered like no other car in the world.”
