1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

This garaged and maintained 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL roadster is powered by a 4.5L V8 paired with an automatic 4-speed transmission. It comes with woodgrain interior trim, power steering and brakes, bucket seats, air conditioning, a cassette tape stereo, and a power antenna. Finished in metallic brown with a new brown convertible top over a tan leather interior, this 450SL is offered with original maintenance booklets, a body-color hardtop, an owner’s manual, and a clear Illinois title in the seller’s name.

This metallic brown 450SL roadster comes equipped with a color-matched removable hard top and a new brown convertible soft top with plastic rear windows. The exterior features fog lamps, quad U.S- spec headlamps, chrome-capped side mirrors, and a power antenna. The seller states that the hardtop is scratched and will likely need a repaint, but the body of the car shows normal wear and tear.

The chrome-finished 15-inch Mercedes wheels are wrapped in radial tires.

The bucket seats are upholstered in tan leather and surrounded by color-matched door panels, lower dash, center console, and carpeting. The center console is accented with woodgrain trim. Other interior features include power windows, cruise control, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and a locking glove compartment.

Vehicle information is delivered through an 85-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The 6-digit mechanical odometer reads 136,715 miles, but true mileage is unknown.

A 4.5-liter V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission delivers power to the rear wheels. According to the seller, the factory air conditioning works as it should. Videos can be seen in the carousel to the right.

This SL came from the factory equipped with independent front and rear suspensions, a stabilizer bar, and 4-wheel power disc brakes. A video can be seen in the carousel to the right.

The seller will include the original maintenance, owner’s service, and warranty policy booklets; two keys; both hard and soft tops; and the owner’s manual as part of the sale.
