1974 Mercedes 450SL Convertible Roadster with Both Tops

Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1974

Good looking car and good driver, unning well.
Starts well. I am the 2nd owner and have owned it for the last 36 years. The car has been garaged in California its entire existence but I have down-sized after retirement and no longer have garage space for all of my cars. The odometer has been intermittently finicky the last three or four years and I suspect the car has more miles than shown, although since I bought it in 1979, t has been driven less than 4K miles per year. White hard top, lue soft top although I have not lifted off the hard top to unfold the soft top in a few years. A couple of small dents on hood. Door edges have normal chipping. Small surface rust area on lower edge of driver-side tail light. Passenger-side exhaust manifold has crack that makes car louder when it is cold. Dashboard has cracks. Both leather seats were replaced and are in very good condition. A/C works but does not seem to be operating efficiently. Original Becker AM/FM radio that still works but it is moody. Radio antenna motor no longer works. Car has original alloy wheels as seen in pictures with Michelin tires which should be replaced in my opinion. Brakes are operating well. Car leaks some oil which is typical for MBZ SL's of this era.
