Fair weather Benz: ’75 Mercedes-Benz 450SL
There are always many 450SL Convertibles available but not all as nice as this one sounds. It is a 35,000 mile car with 25 years worth of service records. The current owner is the third and is into the details. By that I mean when the electric antenna stopped working, they replaced it. Some would just let it go and suffer the nuisance. They even replaced the soft top recently using the same Haartz canvas the factory uses. Of course, a M-B convertible has to come with a hard top and this one thankfully does. It is finished in Navy Blue and since it is original, it has a few imperfections. This is an eBay auction with a starting bid of $12,000 still open. Our guess is that it won’t sell on eBay but start a dialogue with the seller through the listing. You may get a shot at a nice, durable Mercedes-Benz Convertible for not a lot of money. Maybe less than $13,000 if the seller is reasonable…click here for the listing.
