Vehicle Overview

Beautiful 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL convertible for sale. Im selling this vehicle for my parents who can no longer drive the vehicle. Vehicle is in great shape currently 69,706 miles. My parents bought it used in Arizona back in 1994 with 60,000 miles. This vehicle was well taken care of at a local Mercedes shop in Arizona and my stepfather has all of the records. It has a convertible top and also a hard top included. Body is in excellent condition with silver paint and a red interior. This summer we recently spent $5000 trying to get the air conditioning to work with a new compressor and new condenser, but it is still having problems. The automatic antenna motor is also nonfunctional and there is a slow power draw where we had to put a Killswitch in the trunk to prevent the battery from going dead. Killswitch was professionally installed at the Mercedes service shop in Mesa az. This is an Arizona car and is a lot of fun to drive. New tires this summer.

Mechanical

Engine and transmission is in great shape. New tires this summer.

Exterior

Body is an excellent condition small scuff on driver side bumper

Interior

Interiors is in great shape. Some cracking of the wood on the center console sheepskin covers was on the vehicle when my parents bought it in 1994 and Ive neveris in great shape. Some cracking of the wood on the center console sheepskin covers was on the vehicle when my parents bought it in 1994 and Ive never taken them off. Seats feel like they could be restocked with horse hair.

What was your ask? I pulled the pin on another vehicle but might still be interested in a small project with my grandkids. Seems to be minor inconvenience kinds of things. Still interested.

Hello and apologize for the delay I’ve been under the weather. As mentioned in the description, the AC is non-functional and the rear antenna motor is not working plus the slow electrical leak. That’s why we added the Killswitch in the trunk. Other than that, nothing else is broken that I know of. Nothing is torn or pitted, scratched or rusty. I can get pictures of the things you requested except for the undercarriage. I don’t have a lift. I’ll try to take those today or tomorrow thanks.

Other than the seat rebuild (possible), what doesn't work, leaks, torn, pitted, scratched, rusty, ... Pics of undercarriage? Dash pad top, back seat, carpet close ups, rest of dash, trunk, under hood, around door seams and hood/trunk/wheel well pinch welds, and door seals/weatherstripping?
