During one of my daily activities searching the inter-webz, I stumbled upon this GEM! A 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL with 62K original miles! This beast comes with a 4.5L V8 producing 180HP and 220ft-lbs of torque. Its GT nature allows you to cruise in comfort for miles and miles, and its lineage goes back for decades helping to shape it into a cultural icon!

@peterharper420 Nice to hear from you! I haven’t seen your comments lately. Hope everything is going well for you. Take care!

Looks like a really nice example. I would consider putting euro bumpers and headlights on it though. That's how it was designed. The US stuff was just slapped on because of law. The engine I dont think is possible to convert to original euro spec in any easy way. I think the compression differs.

Euro bumpers look great! I found new replacements (non-OEM) for about $1200

Doug’s take is just plain up wrong. The R107 is simply gorgeous. I get tons of attention, compliments and thumbs up in mine. I’ve never seen a car get this much attention even for 10x the price. Especially the people who grew up with them, they knew it meant you had MONEY back in the day. It was Hollywood’s sweetheart.

I agree with you whole-heartedly!!!

$7500 Would be a buy! 1 $10,000 normal
