One of 8,184 such sports roadsters produced that year, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is described as “an entirely original example with barely more than 19,000 miles, ” which he believes to be accurate based on its odometer reading and the fact that it has been reportedly owned by one family since new.

The paint, powertrain, and interior

are “as they left the factory in West Germany, ” with the interior described as being in “as-new” condition, and with chassis components that may be original. The 450SL was powered in 1979 by Mercedes-Benz’s 4,520-cc OHC V-8. With a compression ratio of 8.8:1 and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, the engine was rated by the manufacturer at 215 horsepower when new.

The engine in this 450SL is said to be original to the car, with no stated rebuild history of either the engine or three-speed automatic transmission. The engine is said to start normally without smoke, and the transmission reportedly functions without issues. A minor oil leak at the pan is noted. The engine bay appears

to be stock and generally clean. The paint on this car is original and free of swirls, noting paint chips on one quarter panel as blemishes. The convertible roof and hardtop are said to function normally, without leaks.

The seals are described as fair, with no leaks reported. The car is free of rust. The bumpers are free of visible damage and the chrome presents as being in very good unrestored condition, per the images. The 450SL’s lighting is said to be in proper working order. The seating areas in this 450SL are in visibly very good condition, with no tears and nearly no wear creasing. The photos also show the carpeting presenting as being in like-new condition, with no visible soiling

or worn spots. The hardtop headliner is said to be in “as-new” condition.

The padded dashboard shows no damage and no missing trim or small controls. The wood veneers appear to be in good, undamaged condition. All instruments, including the factory Becker Mexico cassette radio, are said to be in proper working order. The power window lifts and central locking are said to work as intended. The heater and air conditioning are described as operable. The trunk presents as being strongly clean and includes what appears to be the original first aid kit. The suspension components as being in fair condition and the four-wheel disc brakes function as intended. The alloy wheels are described as free of curb rash.
