Introduced in 1972, the all-new R107 Mercedes-Benz SL sports-car line replaced the outgoing six-cylinder W113 280SL and multiplied its success. Aimed straight at the lucrative American market, especially in Florida and California, the 450SL featured turbine-smooth 4.5-liter V-8 power and delivered a major leap forward in terms of sophistication and drivability. Design of the new SL was performed by Bruno Sacco, who was also responsible for the renowned Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans of the 1970s. Built-in safety features and carefully engineered mechanical improvements delivered an outstanding all-around experience matched by few, if any, other cars in the 450SLs class. An automatic transmission was standard equipment, along with numerous luxury features including a removable hardtop for year-round enjoyment. Carrying base pricing more than twice the average price of U.S. cars,  the Mercedes-Benz 450SL drew an exclusive clientele and regularly starred in such popular movies and TV shows as Dallas, Hart to Hart, Magnum P.I. and The Six Million Dollar Man throughout the 1970s and 1980s.   

A high-quality example with only an approximate 42,000 indicated miles. This 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL features an outstanding color combination of Black paint over Parchment upholstery. Clearly benefiting from 12 years of prior single ownership, this 450SL is well equipped with features and amenities including air conditioning, and power-assisted brakes, steering, and windows. In addition to its legendary open-air driving experience, this 450SL also features an upgraded audio system including the stereo head unit, amplifier, and speakers. A full-size spare wheel/tire and roadside jack are included with the SL.
