1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Up for consideration is this 2-owner US-spec 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster. It is finished in an extremely rare two-tone Thistle Green and Dark Olive combination over a green and tan interior with a black soft top and a Dark Olive body colored hardtop. The hard top sports its original paint and the body has been repainted once. The interior is original except for the carpet and it is in exceptional condition and mechanically it runs very well. It is equipped with all the luxury and convenience options one would expect of a Mercedes-Benz such as: power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, front and rear disc brakes, cruise control, clock, A/C, heat and it all works.

It was purchased new from the factory in Germany as a U.S. spec car as the original owner flew to Germany, took delivery of the car, and proceed to go on vacation with it. Afterwards, he had it shipped back to his home state of Maine and remained his pride and joy until the current owner purchased it in 2008. Being the 450, under the hood is the 4.5L V8 producing 190hp and 240lb. ft. of torque mated to a 4-speed automatic. Considering it is has 123k miles, you would never assume it as its condition is superb and it runs wonderfully. It comes with the original books, manuals, the original first aid kit, the original tool kit, both sets of keys, and a packet full of maintenance receipts over the years. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a rare piece of Mercedes-Benz history!
