Europe got 350SL's for years but they got the 450SL in 73 which is why 72 450SL's were badged as 350SL's in the US.

No matter how you slice and dice it, if it's a 107044, it's a 450SL as it shows in EPC. But we're going off topic so if you'd like to discuss this further, id be happy to in another thread as I suspect that Ron's intention for starting this thread is for selling his car.
