Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1972

1972 Mercedes 350sl

This car is without a doubt- a Classic..and yet still affordable. As any collector knows, this car’s predecessor has become almost unaffordable as a classic auto, and this model is no doubt destined to follow suit. The 1972 model ‘Panzerwagon” is without doubt the best version of this model, given it’s clean classic lines, more robust engine and small bumpers that prevailed prior to US regulations by the Dept. of Transportation requiring larger, less aesthetic bumpers for impact resistance. This car will double in value over the next ten years and if I didn’t need the garage space, I would keep it myself.

This specific car has been a Texas/Oklahoma vehicle it’s whole life and is therefore completely rust free and also accident free with perfectly straight lines and all matching numbers. This car runs and drives as new. It has tight steering, firm brakes and solid tolerances on all doors, windows, trunk, and hood. Everything works as it should. Air conditioner blows ice cold, all lights, horn, wipers, and heater work perfectly. Original clock is the only part that is temperamental. The interior upholstery is immaculate as is the roof liner and soft top. Paint is a 9 out of 10. Car currently has the Bundt wheels but the original wheels and hub caps come with it and are in excellent condition. All Items are original expect for the newer radio required for my daughter’s iPhone. A charging port for said iPhone has also been installed. The seat belts have also been repaired and work flawlessly. All original books are here. The engine is spotless and the transmission shifts flawlessly. I recently put over 5000$ into the engine and drive train of this vehicle along with another 2000$ for the Bundt wheels and new tires. The paint is spotless and original in color. The original wheels and hub caps come with the vehicle as well. The car has 88,643 original miles and should be capable of twice that given the reputation of these vehicles as “bulletproof”.
