Hi all,
I'm selling my 1980 450SL (I love this car, but I need the garage space
). The car is pearlescent red with a palamino (tan) interior. Current original mileage is 182,xxx. The vehicle is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. I've owned the car for four years and in that time I've put more into it than I initially paid. Please click on the image in my signature for more/larger pictures. Listed below is a summary of most of the maintenance and upgrades I've performed (I have complete service/purchase records for the last four years). I'm asking 9,000 (obo) and can be reached at
