1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL

Purchased by the current owner in 2025, this R107 is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with manufacturer’s literature, a data card, and a California title in the owner’s name. The car is finished in Yellow (624) and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top that is said to have been replaced. Additional exterior equipment includes fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim.

Paintless dent repair has been performed, and close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below. Silver 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with GT radial Champiro tires. The car was factory-equipped with power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.

The brake fluid was changed in 2025. The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in black MB-Tex along with a matching center console and door panels. Interior equipment includes cruise control, central locking, and air conditioning, the latter of which was converted to utilize R134a refrigerant in 2025.

The Becker stereo has a damaged cassette player. The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation, including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 19k miles.

The 4.5-liter V8 features Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

The California title is listed as a duplicate. The car is registered as Planned Non-Operation in the state of California, and it last passed a California emissions test in September 2025. Filed under: r107 , sl
