Thanks! November 9th, 2026 at 7:19pm EST$8,000 bid placed by @tennisraviNovember 9th, 2026 at 6:43pm ESTem90069 (1) 0Do you have any pictures of the interior of trunk? Specifically spare tire well with carpet removed?November 9th, 2026 at 1:03pm ESTSilverarrowauto (3) Seller 0Paint meter pix and close up of the trim pix have been added. November 8th, 2026 at 10:53am ESTSilverarrowauto (3) Seller 0@bd450sl. I can confirm that this has the factory 3 speed trans not a 4 speed one like in the 500slc. I will take more pix of the undercarriage. Also i will try to find engine number and trans number once its on the lift. I have uploaded paint meter reading just waiting to get added to the gallery. Also close ups of moulding and other close ups as well. I believe that the odo is still in kms since if you notice underneath the odo itself it says km. While the 500slc i had and other euro federalized vehicles says mph under the odo. When I purchased it from the previous owner it had some fuel leaking from some of the lines in the rear of the car. It was parked in a warehouse, indoors. I had it towed to the shop on a flatbed and had the fuel tank drained of the remaining old gas, cleaned and had most of the rubber fuel lines that were looking old and dry rotted replaced before starting the vehicle. We put new gas before start up. Its started right up. All was good except that it had a loud exhaust leak. Drove it to the muffler shop about 20 miles away in Newark where they repaired the leak and replaced that Y section under the right passenger seat. An oil change and the conversion to r 134 was done the same time as the fuel line issue was addressed. I had some new wires and cap at my house and I installed that since the ones that were there were old. I replaced the plugs as well. Ive been driving it alot since. No issues and very smooth on the road. The tires are older but are not dry rotted. Im more than ok with an independent inspection. Just message me to set an appointment. Just not on the last day of the sale please. Anytime this coming week would be perfect. November 8th, 2026 at 10:04am ESTSilverarrowauto (3) Seller 0I have uploaded paint meter readings. Lets just wait for it to hit the photo gallery. November 7th, 2026 at 10:14pm ESTSilverarrowauto (3) Seller 0@bd450sl. I will answer all your inquiries in detail one by one tomorrow afternoon latest Monday morning. I will post all pix request asap. And also would definitely encourage a pre purchase inspection.

November 7th, 2026 at 10:06pm ESTSilverarrowauto (3) Seller 0@95cab. This car was owned by a friend of mine. Also a collector and has owned a few of these 450slc 5.0’s and a bunch of other sl and slc amg cars. He had this from 2017 to just recently when I bought it from him. The e320 cab is a 95 that ive had for maybe 7-8 years. Its not for sale my wife still drives it as her 2nd car when she feels like it. I forgot what the offset of the wheels are. I had it there since i got from my wife’s uncle around 7-8 years. Its an 18x8 all around the offset if Im not mistaken is an ET35. November 7th, 2026 at 9:59pm ESTBD450SL (10) 1I noticed a discrepancy while reviewing the documentation for your 450SLC 5.0. The auction listing identifies the VIN as 10702612000443, while another record associated with Silver Arrow identifies a Brilliant Red Metallic 450SLC 5.0 with VIN 10702612000451. Could you clarify whether these records refer to two different vehicles or whether there may be a clerical error? Also, could you confirm the correct VIN against the chassis stamping and factory data card? Given the rarity and collectible nature of this model, I'd appreciate clarification to establish the vehicle's provenance and authenticity. Thank you!November 7th, 2026 at 9:57pm ESTBD450SL (10) 1There is also a model-year difference: the auction advertises a 1979 car, while your document identifies a 1978 model. That alone may reflect a production-year versus registration-year distinction, but it needs clarification.November 7th, 2026 at 9:55pm ESTBD450SL (10) 1VIN comparison Auction listing ...00443 Your document ...00451 These are two different chassis numbers, separated by eight in the production sequence.November 7th, 2026 at 9:51pm ESTBD450SL (10) 1Hello, I'm interested in your 1979 450SLC 5.0 and would appreciate clarification on the following: 1. Can you provide the factory data card, engine number, and transmission number to verify the original drivetrain? 2. Can you confirm that the original three-speed automatic is installed? The listing also refers to a four-speed. 3. Has the car ever been repainted or received accident repairs? Can you provide paint-meter readings and close-ups of the aluminum panels? 4. Can you provide detailed underside photographs of the rocker panels, jacking points, floor pans, suspension mounts, and trunk wells? 5. Can you clarify the speedometer conversion and provide any federalization documents or earlier mileage records? 6. Why were the fuel lines and ignition components replaced in July 2026, and are there invoices? 7. Will you permit an independent Mercedes specialist to inspect the car before the auction closes? Thank you for your time.
