1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

A third owner car from California that I purchased in November 2002. The car has not been registered since I bought it. 1973 was the last year of no catalyst convertor (cooler running). This was a European delivery car and I have all the paperwork though it's life. The front bumper and headlights were converted to the European model look. I have the original bumper and headlights if you would like them. Also the seat belts were converted to the reel type in the 80's. The soft top is dark blue and is in good shape as with the rear window. The paint has some chips and one small bubble on the hood. No rust throughout the car! The car has been stored since 2002 in a warehouse and run once in a while. I have recently serviced the car and has new tires. Needs some R12 in the AC and that's it. As shown it has a Blaupunkt Berlin radio on a stalk control. This was the radio to have in the 1980's! I need to clean out the storage area and bought a newer SL as shown in the photo's.
