We are selling my Wifes 450 SL for she can buy a new S, after owning it for 10 years. It was made in December of 1972, which makes it one of the first 450 SLs made . It is Number 9508. She has 94,000 Original Miles. 19,000 put on by her. We are retired, so she doesnt drive much. She is the first one of that year we have seen with Power Windows. We are the second owner. We bought her from a 85 year old lady named Grace that wasnt driving anymore, in Rossmor, a Upscale Retirement Comunity here in Walnut Creek California. Her husband bought it new, for her 50th Birthday. So, She was originally sold and still lives in Northern Californi, That means Rust and Corrosion Free. Everything works like new, except the air condition that stopped blowing cold at the beginning of this Summer. She is in Excellent all Original Condition. She even still has a Factory working Battery Cut Off Switch and Oil Cooler. Definitely a Survivor after 45 Years. Paint looks Good and Shinny with no Accidents or Scrapes, everything lines up perfect, a Minor Ding or Scratc, some age here and there. the Interior is in almost Perfect Condition ! Both of the Original Tops look great. the Soft Top could use some stitching, maybe a new back window to be perfect. She has always had a Garage Spot. has never seen Snow or driven in the Winter. The only things that have been replaced over the years are normal wear and tear items including, Battery and Tra, Radiator Hoses,Complete Steering Linkage, Michelin Tires. A Stereo 10 years ag, Bosch Wiper Blade, New Exhaust including Muffler. Regular Tune Up, Spark Plugs, including New Bosch Wires last time. Just had the Front Brakes done.Car has had regular Servicing, needed or not with Mobil 1 Oil Changes every 3,000 Miles. She Runs and Drives like new. Doesnt leak a drop of anything. We would drive her anywhere without a worry. Thank Yo, Chris and Linda.
