They are the original photographs. They have not been touched or tampered with in any way. What you see are genuine pictures of a genuine car. I am very proud and honored to present this vehicle for auction on ebay. Not very often to cars come along, that have been lovingly taken care of, such as this vehicle. This auction I am presenting a 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC. Two door sedan, with rear wheel drive and very strong 190 horsepower, 4.5 liter V-8 engine. If you were to walk up to this car, you would think it brand new, it looks, feels and smells new. This car has been in Southern California since brand new. The first owner was an executive and used it for the first year, then his job supplied him with a car. The second owner, saw the car and fell in love with it. This car has always been garaged since brand new, the original "Walnut Brown" paint, is stunning, right down the incredible dual two tone pin stripes on the side and wheel wells as standard for the 450 SLC. The car has been kept completely original. The car has been meticulously maintained and repaired. All recalls by Mercedes-Benz have been completed to date. All services have been completed on the vehicle to date. It has a clean title. Clean car fax. The "Palomino" leather seats and surrounding upholstery are magnificent. All guages work as designed. The air conditioning is a cold as ice. The original radio works perfectly. This vehicle comes with owners manual, all service and maintenance records. Tires are new. Look at the pictures, look at the beautiful wheels, and chrome how they shine. You cannot tell the engine is running at stop signs. It has a smooth ride, and handles effortlessly. You cannot believe that this vehicle is over 30 years old, it is truly a treasure, especially with only 106,000 original miles. This owner made sure that this vehicle was always in perfect running order, and spared no expense. I would be hard pressed to find another in this condition. If you are looking, I strongly recommend that you take a second look at this beautiful car. Don't let this one get away.

They produced 31,000 450 SLC's during 1972 to 1980. The approximate MSRP ran about $41,592.00. This was one of the first sport sedans built for the public by Mercedes-Benz. This car came with a back seat. It's sister was the SL and that was just a two seater and the top came off. This car has a permanent or fixed top, with a sunroof, which added 1.2 inches to the vehicle height. They added 14.2 inches to the vehicle from the door to the wheel well and added a back seat. Mercedes-Benz at the time, was looking to come up with a vehicle that would compete with Citroen and Jaguar, and this was the car to do it. They added special louvers behind the back windows as a style feature and set it apart from the other models. There is no "B" pillar, so when all windows are down, it has a large openness and airy feeling. With the windows down and the sunroof open, I would say a nice drive up the coast in this car would be a beautiful drive. Autoweek at the time said of the 450 SLC, "The most superbly tuned motor carriage in the world, comfortable and agile."
