Distinctive and timeless, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL wears crisp white paint that highlights its clean, sculpted body lines. The Euro-style front end and color-matched bumpers give it a tailored appearance, while the AMG Penta-style 16" aluminum wheels with white painted centers and polished rings add a custom touch. Black canvas top folds away for open-air driving, with a white removable hardtop included for cooler weather options. The Pirelli P6 tires in 225/55R16 sizing sit at all four corners, completing the visual package and providing good road contact for improved handling.
Brown leather Konig high-back bucket seats anchor the interior, offering firm support during cornering. The cabin maintains a straightforward layout where the floor shifter extends from the center console and a Blaupunkt cassette player sits ready for use. Door panels, carpeting, and dash areas remain in good condition, while the factory steering wheel provides the authentic Mercedes driving link. Power windows allow for quick ventilation adjustments, and the air conditioning system maintains ideal cabin temperature regardless of outside conditions.
A 4.5-liter V8 engine provides ample power, working through the Mercedes 3-speed automatic transmission. Electronic fuel injection supplies consistent fuel delivery across varying conditions, while four-wheel disc brakes deliver strong stopping ability. The independent suspension setup uses control arms, coil springs, shocks, and sway bars front and rear for balanced handling and ride quality. Power steering allows for easy low-speed maneuvering while maintaining good feedback at highway speeds.
