Exclamation 1980 W107 (450SL) Red/Palamino $9000

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 aarona@omniture.com

Upgrades:
16" AMG Aero Wheels (inc. spare)
Bridgestone Potenza RE730 225/55-16 w > 80% tread remaining
Fosgate RFX9300 head unit
Custom rear deck sealed enclosure with JBL 2-channel P180 amp and 2 10" subwofers.
JBL GTO 4" two way indash and 6.5" (see 9th picture) speakers
European bumper conversion (trust me, its an upgrade. Have a look at a car with the USDOT mandated monstrosities)
Matching 450SL mats
Sheepskin seat covers

Maintenance:
Timing chain and water pump replaced at ~165,000
Replaced and resealed transmission (from low mileage donor car) at ~175,000
AC Service: new compressor, converted to freeze-12
Oil changed every < 3,000 mi.
Brake pads and shocks replaced at ~170,000
Replaced alternator at ~170,000
Ignition components replaced at ~175,000 (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil)
New power ant.

Restoration:
New soft top < 1 year ago
Repainted in 2000 (inc. hard top)
Faded gold trim replaced with OE silver
Insturmentation: new tach/clock combo, speedo replaced & calibrated
New driver & pass seatbelts
All new Zebrano wood interior trim plus shifter
Re-keyed entire vehicle (ignition, doors, golve box, trunk) with OE laser cut keys. Have all keys, including wallet and valet.

Known issues (Just trying to be honest ):
Cruise control does not work
Spare tire well is rusted and needs to be replaced
Aftermarket climate control (in place of failure prone servo unit. works great!, just not OEM)
