1976 MERCEDES BENZ 450SL Low Reserve

1976 Mercedes Benz 450SL with a very solid body and frame. It has a somewhat recent paint job in the wrong (I was told Jaguar) red with incorrect two tone black on the bottom. I don't know whatpossessedthem to do this but it looks pretty good on this model. There are minor rust spots under the car but no rot or rust through in the floor pans. The rockers are in great shape and the jack holes are clean. I tried to get pictures of these spots as best I could. The tires and brakes are very good. The wheels are MB knock off's by Ronal.The soft top andinteriorappear almost new, irtually no wear on either as seen in the pictures. I don't know when they were replace but I would guess in the last couple years. The dash and center console show none of the discoloring that was common on the early 107 chassis.The hard top is in very good shape however it is missing an interior trim piece at the top of the rear window. The manual top works perfectly smooth as do the toneau latches and releases. The dash has a very well fitting dash cover so its safe to assume the original dash has cracks in it. The aftermarket radio works and has speakers in the rear that are free standing and NOT cut into the package tray.All the items that follow are brand new:-Water pump-Thermostat-Coolant-Oil and Filter change-"V" belts-A/C compressor-Receiver dryer and associated switches-Compressor bracket, nd tensioner pulley-Fuel pump and filter-Distributor cap and rotor-Ignition wires and spark plugs-Ignition coilAll these items have 0 miles on them as there are no plates on the car. So that means no test drives however, have a large parking lot to drive around in. I do encourage you to come take a look before bidding as I have described the vehicle in as much detail as possible, can not compensate for hands on inspection.It is not a perfect show car by any stretch and I would not recommend a long road trip before some local driving as it is almost 40 years old and has not had a lot of road time for some years. The central locking and heater valve actuator will need some attention, do know that.I am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability as fast as humanly possible.Thanks for looking and have a great day!
