The Buy It Now price is now just $3990. This is seriously a whole lot of car for the money!! 1st buyer takes it home.
Up For Sale is my classic 1977 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL!! I am listing this car at a rock bottom price. Please, only make an offer if you are serious and ready to buy! a FANTASTIC DEAL FOR A CLASSIC MECEDES BENZ FAN.
I now have four cars and my wife's Beemer is on the street, so this car has to leave the garage. My loss your gain. There has been over $10,000 invested in this car (money invested + price paid). This car comes with two sets of tires. Beautiful 17" AMG Chrome wheels with almost new Bridgestone Potenza high performance tires 245-45-r17.This Wheels and tire package is worth $1800. The 2nd set is the original wheels and matching hubs with winter tires.
CONDITION:
This car runs and starts just wonderfully. The automatic transmission shifts as it should. I get her up over 100mph on the highway with ease. Suspension is soft and smooth without rattles or creeks. The power windows and power sunroof work excellent, all with strong motors. The AC has recently been converted over to R134a.
Yes, it's true!!! The engine was replaced with a rebuilt one, just over 1000 miles ago by a certified proffesional mechanic shop that specializes in these types of vehicles ($2198). I trust this car to go anywhere. Along with the purchase of this vehicle I am including reciepts for work done over the last 2 years amounting to around $7000!. Yes, most of the hard work is done.
EXTERIOR
The Chrome: Close to perfect, the bumpers and grill can be used as a mirror. See the pictures just to see how nice the chrome really is.
Trim: the rubber is very solid and unfaded. The metal trim is in real good condition with no pitting.
Paint: The paint is really clean but the clear coat has faded on the roof and hood because the paint is 32 years young. To be perfect it would need to be repainted, but it is still a very attractive car as it is. Again see the pictures.
Body: Near perfect without rust in the wheel wells or trunk. There is a slight indentation on the passenger side door but it is hard to notice. The underbody is in great shape as is the exhaust system. I can take additional pictures of any areas you may have concerns with.
INTERIOR:
The interior trim is in great shape with no cracks on the dashboard or steering wheel.
The woodgrain on the dash in in great shape but does display a couple of minor stress cracks (2) which are typical in just about all of these cars if the woodgrain is original. By comparison to other cars I've seen, the wood is an 8.5 out of 10.
Original AM/FM Radio works as well as the cassette player. The Stereo light comes on when you tune in to an FM Station. Original speakers work as well but the front to rear fader is a little touchy. Personally I was planning on some new Harmon Kardon Speakers.
All gages work. The odometer does not work after the engine was changed.
The clock keeps perfect time.
The headliner does not sag.
The leather seats do not have tears and look pretty good. The front seat had 1 crease/tear, but that has been repaired.
Knobs and buttons are all in place and original.
The door trim is in excellent condition on all four.
The wool carpeting is nice and soft.
The interior vents just stopped blowing air. They were working fine until the other day. Could be a fuse. I don't have the time to look into this.
The car comes with two Keys as well as the original owners manual, and Mercedez Benz Service records.
THERE MAY BE A FEW THINGS THAT I AM OVERLOOKING BUT I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO NAME THE MAIN DETAILS.
RECENT WORK:
Replaced Engine
Thermostat Gasket
Thermostat
Intake manifold gaskets (2)
exhaust manifold gasket(8)
Replace A/C Pully and belt
Replace fan clutch
Retrofit A/C system for R134a
Replace cooling fan clutch
Replace pulley tens belt
Replace water pump
Exhaust repaired
wheels stud replaced
wheel bearings
New plugs and wires
Install new cap rotor
Replace ignition distributor cap
Oil and filter
Cooling system flush with new hoses
For the record this car is in very nice condition but is not perfect. The body and mechanics are very solid.
Please and I repeat PLEASE, DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO PURCHSE WITH ALL FUNDS IN HAND. THIS CAR MUST GO AND I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO HAVE DEALS FALL THROUGH.
I am sure that this Mecedes Benz will bring joy to it's new owner just as it has for me. I often go and just do a walk around in the gagrage and take in the German Engineering.
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PRIOR TO BIDDING.
THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!
