68,292 miles
Few cars capture the golden age of grand touring quite like this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL. Built on the legendary R107 chassis, this Burgundy-over-Tan Leather roadster represents Stuttgart at the height of its over-engineered reputation.
Engineers famously nicknamed the R107 ''der Panzerwagen'' for its tank-like build quality, and to this day the 450 SL is considered one of the most reliable, hand-built classics you can drive.
This example comes to us with only 68,292 original miles, powered by its factory 4.5L V8 backed by a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission.
Finished in rich Burgundy paint over a supple Tan Leather interior, this is a true driver's classic. Equipped with the removable pagoda-style hardtop, power soft top, and that unmistakable long-hood, short-deck SL silhouette.
Standard luxury features include automatic climate control, real wood interior trim, cruise control, four-wheel power disc brakes, and classic alloy wheels. Because 1980 was the final year for the 4.5L V8 in the U.S. market, late 450 SLs like this 1979 example are increasingly sought after by collectors who prize the larger displacement and torquier feel.
