1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Base

This 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is finished in its factory-correct Byzantine Gold Metallic (422H) over a Tobacco/Bamboo interior with a chocolate brown soft top. Showing 88,773 miles, it is an honest, well-preserved driver-quality example of Mercedes-Benz's iconic R107 roadster. One of the standout features of this car is its factory short-bumper configuration. U.S.-market 1972 and 1973 R107 models retained the elegant slim chrome bumpers before the larger federally mandated impact bumpers were introduced for 1974, making these early cars especially desirable among enthusiasts. The car has recently received a new set of tires and remains equipped with its original, never-used spare tire, factory tool kit, and jack. It starts easily, runs well, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The air conditioning is currently not blowing cold, and the car would benefit from some light cosmetic TLC, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a solid classic with room for minor improvements rather than an over-restored example.
