All,

I have an opportunity to purchase a 1979 450SL with 41k miles. It's been regularly used, just not much. Same owner since new, maintained by the same shop since new, and garaged since new. This doesn't guarantee all necessary work has been completed.

I'm more familiar with MB diesels, so I could use some assistance on the SL stuff, especially the subframe recall (how to check) as well as other items on the car.

Unfortunately, I won't have access to a lift or mechanic, but I will be driving the car and have some degree of knowledge myself.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,

DSLPWR
