1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL
Bid at Bring a Trailer →A 21,000-mile R107 in Milan Brown over tan with original-family history.
Sold new through World Wide Motors in Indianapolis and kept by its original owner’s family until 2023, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL now shows just 21,000 miles. Milan Brown Metallic (404) covers the R107 bodywork with a body-color removable hardtop and a replacement soft top, while the bucket seats were reupholstered in tan leather with perforated inserts. The 4.5-liter V8 runs Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic and a limited-slip differential. Fourteen-inch Bundt alloy wheels are shod in 205/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires with 2023 date codes. Inside are a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Offered at no reserve. The brown-over-tan scheme and Bundt alloys present this R107 as a preserved 1970s grand tourer rather than a restoration.
