Very early 1972 badged 350SL 4.5L Roadster with Matching Hardtop. This USA delivered example has the desirable factory slim fit bumpers. Includes quad USA headlamps and angled unique front turn signals as intended for North America vehicles. Coming out of long term elderly ownership from Washington state. These early 107 V-8 cars have a unique spartan feel with features such as louder exhaust with potent open road torque. The early EFI 107 models were quite lively.
The body and paint appear to be in good shape. We believe it has gone through at least 1 repaint, in the factory delivered color of Blue Metallic (396), in its 52 year history. It wears period correct 14 inch factory finish bundt style wheels. The slim fit factory bumpers still have the bumperettes affixed and appear to be in nice condition.
A two tone MB-Tex upholstery look is how these early cars were outfitted. This one shows a sporty dark blue / light blue contrast popping a stylish feel. The door cards appear original without tearing or ripping to note and the original dash pad has a small crack in the center area. Period correct matching blue loop carpet appears to be in nice condition. The rear shelf area was given a removable cushion kinder seat option but did not have any seatbelts added for safety. The navy blue soft top appears to be in nice condition with good canvas and proper open / close ease.
Major mechanical refurbishments have been done in the last year along with updated original parts to prepare for new ownership.
It comes with the original spare, jack and factory tool roll. The books and manuals are sans and all service records from prior ownership were lost and still have not been located at this time.
Soft Top: Blue original MB factory issue with stamp.
Mileage: 88,760 (original documented from new)

Originally purchased by Collision and Injury Analysis, Inc. (an insurance agency owner) from Stead Motors Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek, California on 3/16/88. This highly original 126 model lived a charmed life always garaged and carefully owned in the Golden State. With incredible climate that preserves these cars like no other region in the world. The last owner prior to our acquisition drove it home to his state of New Mexico where it was titled in June of 2015. A steward of multiple collection worthy vehicles, he searched for quite some time to find the best example of a 126. He continued its loving care, keeping it garaged and properly serviced over the next 5 years. Then sold to our client where it was serviced and cared for locally in Los Angeles where we can document the last 3 years of ownership and service history.

Quite obviously the product of zero sun damage. An original Becker AM/FM Cassette radio has been retained and works perfectly with sound quality equal to how it was delivered new. The previous owner’s strife to keep the vehicle as original as possible motivated him to send the original Becker unit to the factory in New Jersey. Upon arrival, Becker then had the system corrected for any existing issues and outfitted with Blue Tooth for hands free mobile talking with the option to utilize the tape cassette player disguised as a blue tooth module.
