1973 Benz 450SL

I'm peppering this around the web, so might as well leave it here also....cough...Chan...Adam...cough

1973 Mercedes Benz 450SL
VIN: 107.044-12-009600
Mfg Date: 12/1972
Mileage: 107,482
 
I am helping a co-worker sell their 1973 450SL. The car is complete and would be a good platform for restoration, or just use the parts to finish another project. Expect body work for the rust spot in the hood above driver headlight and on either side of the rear passenger tire/wheel well.
 
Car has the smaller European bumpers before having to put the unsightly US bumpers on.
Tires are flat from sitting and should probably be replaced before driving due to age.
 
Car needs a new battery but I’m told it starts with a good one. Spots on the hood are just from dirt and will power wash away unless you want that barn-fresh patina.
 
I’m happy to try and answer any question you may have or get more photos if needed. Car does have a title.
 
Asking $1250 and it is available for pickup in Harrisonburg, VA 22801

That's awesome. I can't tell if I'm disgusted or aroused by those seats.

Well, they are sheepskin covers, so I guess it depends on where you are from.

His name is Frank and we exchange free rent for rodent control. Not a single mouse nest to be found! Frank is good snek.

The wasps are a bunch of freeloading bastards that can burn in hell.

Yeah, I had a string of people lined up this week that wanted to come see it. First guys there bought it yesterday. I was able to slap a fresh battery in and hit the intake with a bit of starting fluid, and it fired right up. Local people who have a repair shop and some other classic cars. Sounds like they want to restore and drive, so maybe we'll see it at an MM show in the future. (Although I won't be surprised if they just fix n flip)
