Very Blue: ’76 Mercedes-Benz 450SL
We learned something new when we ran across this R107 Mercedes Roadster. There was a special order Code 904 if you really, really, really liked the color blue. We do like blue so this special 450SL appeals to us. It is a 56,000 mile example that is very original and appears to be in superb condition. The interior is immaculate and this being an early car in the long-lived R107 series, it is almost devoid of any wood treatment. At 56,000 miles, this 450SL has decades of life left in it. It comes equipped with the factory hard top (in blue) plus a new soft top in original material (in blue). It has an aftermarket radio and that is a no-no but easily fixed by a call to Becker Auto Sound in New Jersey. They can provide period correct radios with iPod connectors. Good for them. You’ll undoubtably find a ton of these R107 roadster with a ton of miles on them and in varying condition levels. Don’t buy one with needs or without service records. They are hugely reliable if taken care of and very expensive if not. Click here for the listing.
