16 CommentsPosted as: ClearPOST COMMENT May 2nd, 2022 at 7:39am ESTRADSTR (9) 0Richard, now that the snow should have melted in Ontario; I would like to discuss the possible purchase of the 450SLC. I would fly to Toronto in August, drive north to Magnetawan and then drive home to Atlanta. I assume with some preparation the car should be comfortable with those miles.

Now with that being said, just because there are no reports of maintenance and services does not mean regular maintenance and services where not done. If you believe that not having receipts for oil changes and regular maintenances means you can not trust the car, then I completely understand! The way I bought the car was through 100's of pictures and a lot of strong communication with the previous owner. If the description, pictures and Km/Miles is not enough for you. Then I completely understand! thanks for your interest!January 25th, 2022 at 4:03pm ESTMBstyle (26) 0@Richardmartis, no reports of inspectios , maintenance, ? No matter where the car is stocked at the moment. Its a great car , but some docs should show, no?.. January 25th, 2022 at 3:54pm ESTRichardmartins (1) Seller 0@MBstyle I appreciate your honesty. But I thought I mentioned that this vehicle is too old for a Carfax. CarFax are only available on all used cars and light trucks from model year 1981 or later. THEREFORE, a Carfax is not available for this 1979! As far as a vehicle inspection goes I will not be able to get an inspector for another few weeks, as I mentioned before, the car is located in a heated garage that is blocked by snow! Anyways thanks for your bid! Sorry for any "Regret" you may have.January 25th, 2022 at 3:42pm ESTMBstyle (26) 0@Richardmartins, in some points i regret to have made this high open start bidding. Not even carfax is showed up not even inspection reports are shown. Its a nice car , but … sorry. Wish i could ….January 23rd, 2022 at 9:37am ESTRichardmartins (1) Seller 0@Horsepwr4me Air conditioning and heat are both in working order, and was not aware of such recall from Mercedes so no.January 23rd, 2022 at 9:36am ESTRichardmartins (1) Seller 0@Classic4life Hello! Car is fully Original with original paint. The front fenders were repainted due to someone over buffing and leaving the panels dull. The front and rear seats are both Original and both is pristine condition!January 23rd, 2022 at 9:32am ESTRichardmartins (1) Seller 1@MBstyle Hello Everybody, sorry for the delayed responses! Pictures and a compression test will be a little hard to do right now considering the cars location. It is currently in my backyard heated garage that is surrounded by about 2 feet of snow. But I can assure you the Engine is fully mechanically sound (0 issues).January 21st, 2022 at 5:33pm ESTHorsepwr4me (0) 0Does the heat and air conditioning work properly with air changing through different vents? Has the front subframe been reinforced with welded brackets as recalled by Mercedes’?

I have this (US spec) in same exterior color but with black interior(1976). I just recently took it out on a drive to the airport and back and fell in love all over again. Until you have driven an SLC on the highway versus a 107 short wheelbase SL, you can’t fully appreciate what the SLC is all about. Close up instrument photos as well as a few more detailed interior photos (as requested below) would definitely provide a tad more confidence by potential bidders. Love the photos so far and no doubt the additional details and interaction/participation from the current owner will provide for a great auction. January 18th, 2022 at 5:11pm ESTClassic4life (18) 0Yes please, more pictures will give us more confidence. Refs to the paint and seats, are they original? Is the paint original paint or has been repainted before ??? I can see the back seat looks original, how about the front leather seats ?? Pictures of front seats are not clear enough. Thanks.
