Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1976

1976 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Classic Roadster R107

Original Miles

We have owned this vehicle for about 3-4 years. This is aclassic 1976 450 SL Roadster which has mostly original paint, some areas may need a touch up. Currently there is about 202,000 original miles at time of this listing and is in very good overall conditionfor its age.

EXTERIOR:The original exterior paint still has shine and luster. The aluminum wheels, bumpers, and trim are also in good condition. The vehicle comes with 2 tops: hardtop and two convertible tops. We have a new one (brown in color) in the trunk that just needs to be installed. Current soft top is black and in pretty good shape, less windows and some tears. Power locks have a leak in vaccum system, so they don't work. Is currently equipped with a hitch (which was used only once), we will take off and keep with a $200 allowance to you.

INTERIOR:The interior is completely original. The hardtop headliner is clean and with a few small tears. The seat covers and side panels are in pretty good condition (we have taped rips with fabric tape).The carpets are intact but have some color fade and stains., The car has an older AM/FM Cassette stereo installed, plus speakers (works, but not too well, we have disconnected the power antenna). The dash has a plastic over cover.

MECHANICAL: Mechanically, the car is in overall good condition. The 4.5 Liter V8 engine is strong, very strong, and powerful and the car runs like new. The automatic transmission shifts effortlessly through all gears. The power windows on the driver side slips. The power antenna does not work. The air conditioning/heating vents have good airflow, but the air conditioning unit has been disconnected, and not sure what it needs. After all, it's a convertible, and we are in Florida and cruise around with the top down most of them time. During the time we have owned it, we have had it serviced by reputable Mercedes Benz mechanic, with the intent of making it a Highway Cruiser for trips back and forth during Snow Bird Season. The only current problem we have is.....sometimes the needle valve has to be adjusted, to keep it from overheating and it burns GAS about 9-10 MPG. Mostly a nuisance.
