The ubiquitous Mercedes 450 SL served it's patrons well. Having been featured in the TV shows Dallas, Six Million Dollar Man, Hart to Hart, Rockford, Wonder Woman and dozens of other on both the little and BIG screens it earned the iconic status of THE ride for the rich and famous. Ironically, if you happen to be on Sunset or Beverly Hills Drives today, it serves the same function for the same individuals. Albeit, now its “Retro Chic”. The other side of the coin is this; the 450 SL is built like a tank, has an ageless style, properly tuned (most are not) runs like a Hot Rod should. It's a fun car to own, and retains great value.
This 450 SL has both hard and soft tops, chrome wire wheels and has been in the possession of it's second owner since 1980. After 42 years of care and loving, and a change of venue he is reluctantly relinquishing ownership.
