1980 Mercedes-Benz - 450 SLC

Product Details

0 for purchase. The SL class has been a top luxury line of production cars for decades producing ahead of the pack features, comforts, and performance. The R107 model SL came on to the scene in 1972. With the debut of a V8 engine in this lineup, the 450SL was larger and produced a much more modern ride. The suspension is fully independent and 4-wheel disc brakes came standard. The SLC's are commonly referred to as an “SL Coupe”, and this was the first time that Mercedes-Benz had based a coupe on an SL roadster platform rather than on a saloon. The SLC are very much similar in appearance to the hard-top equipped convertibles, though they have a taller roofline and were 14 inches longer due to the usable rear seats. This is the special version of the big coupe featuring a new all-aluminum 5.0L V8, aluminum alloy bonnet (and boot lid), a black rubber rear spoiler, and a small front lip spoiler. This SLC 5.0 is a very rare model in the United States. This one comes out of California in excellent stock surviving condition. It features the original engine paired with the original automatic transmission. It also features: cruise control, velour seats, heated front seats, air conditioning, new fuel injectors, new catalytic converter, new air thermostat, new spark plugs, a new fuel filter, a new air filter, climate control, and a sunroof. This R107 is in excellent condition inside and out. It runs and drives great, and really is a head turner going down the road.
