If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
What is better than a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL? A convertible version of it. On sunny days, you can enjoy a top-down cruise, and in bad weather, you get a hard top to keep you and your cabin protected. Cloaked in silver paint, this 450SL Convertible gleams under the sun with subtle chrome accents around, including exterior badging. The design touches of renowned German automotive designer Friedrich Geiger are unmistakable. This car is shod with Goodride SP06 Radial tires and rides on steel wheels displaying the three-pointed star. Hidden behind them are power disc brakes that provide excellent stopping power to this roadster. This 450SL has a gorgeous red leather interior that contrasts beautifully with the silver exterior. This cabin offers you a fully functioning A/C and AM/FM radio. The dash features wood trimming that adds a touch of sophistication to the interior. The driver is presented with the iconic Mercedes-Benz steering wheel and three large old-school gauges.
As you pop the hood of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster, its 4.5L V8 engine comes into view. Thanks to up-to-date servicing reported by the current owner, all that is left to do is get in and enjoy the ride. A 4-speed automatic transmission sends power to the wheels. According to the owner, this engine utilizes Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a new battery.

One of the most legendary members of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineage is the W124 generation. This generation came about in 1984, and was made until 1995 as a sedan. Other variants carried on until as late as 1997. The W124 is widely considered to be one of the most solidly-engineered Mercedes-Benz models; it’s not uncommon to see them being used as taxis in some African countries to this day, braving elements such as desert sand, scorching temperatures and of course, limited availability of spare parts. We did get the W124 in the United States as well, and today, we’ve got a nice 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300D from Virginia for sale. This car has got 131,410 miles on the odometer, but that’s a mere stroll for a W124. You really should buy it because it’s a car that will become a classic very soon; yet is modern enough to drive around regularly. The car is said to be all-stock and has received a recent service.
The Mercedes-Benz SL is a sleek, alluring Roadster that is loved by many. For many years, this model line has been themed as Mercedes-Benz's stylish Beverly Hills-Esque palm tree open-air driving experiences roadster.

Recently, Mercedes Benz reintroduced the SL and three model options were available for buyers. The SL43, which is what we have on offer here, is the most affordable way to get into this exciting blend of engineering, technology, and entertainment. This striking 2023 Mercedes Benz SL43 is currently located in Charlotte, North Carolina with reportedly 3500 miles on its speedometer.
