This Northern California original 450SL recently came out of its unbroken one family 44 year ownership. Most recently it was passed from mother to daughter.

Comes with color keyed hardtop. The brown canvas top appears to be a replacement in excellent shape with vibrant color showing no rips, tears or fraying.

The paint shows excellent preservation and appears mostly original. This rare color, Cayenne Orange has a deep bright shine and mirror like appearance with the single stage paint Mercedes executed in the 70s era. All body panels and shut lines are even and correct.

The original dash pad has a few small cracks. Parchment MB Tex upholstery is in presentable condition and has supple shape with only minor nicks and expected wear. Door cards are clean and crisp. Loop carpet is original in nice shape. An aftermarket radio and antennae were installed by prior owner. Original first-aid kit stowed in rear area.

Excellent drive quality. Nice torquey even acceleration. Smooth shifting all the way through the factory 3 speed transmission. Good supple suspension feel. Steering tracks even and straight. Solid responsive braking. Having visually inspected the underside there are no fluid leaks to note.

AC service completed upon acquisition. The 134 freon blows cold and correct on all fan speeds.

Matching steel wheels wear new correctly sized tires.

Subframe update has been completed.

Previous ownership history, unfortunately, was not retained because it was misplaced during a recent residential move. We have all service records of work done since our acquisition. Available for review.

Comes with 2 key fobs, original manual, spare tire, jack, tool roll, and convertible tools.
