Vehicle Details

Up for sale is a classic Mercedes-Benz 450SL/450SLC project vehicle located in Knoxville, Tennessee (within driving distance of Nashville).

Based on prior ownership history, this is believed to be a true two-owner vehicle, which is becoming increasingly rare for vintage Mercedes examples.

This car is totally original from the factory with the exception of the wheels, making it an excellent candidate for someone looking for an authentic restoration project, collector car, or valuable parts vehicle. Finding examples that remain this original is becoming harder as many have been modified, parted out, or heavily restored.

One of the standout features is the rare navy blue leather interior, which gives the car a highly desirable factory color combination and makes it stand out from more common examples on the market.

Included with the vehicle:

* Non-original wheel set included

*Original Key (working)

* Original removable hardtop included

* Additional accessories and parts shown in listing photos included with sale

The original removable hardtop alone is highly desirable among vintage Mercedes buyers and restorers and adds significant standalone value to the package.

Condition / What it needs

Please review carefully:

* Vehicle is currently non-running

* Possible electrical issues

* Has rust in areas will some holes (see pics)

* Needs new paint/body work

* Mileage is just over 157k, not hard miles it was just left to sit for years

* Will certainly require additional mechanical restoration depending on buyer goals, any unforeseen mechanical issues are unknown to me at the time of listing

This is not a turnkey vehicle, but it presents a great opportunity for a Mercedes enthusiast, collector, restorer, or parts buyer to acquire a highly original example with valuable factory components and strong restoration potential.

Clean title in hand.

Vehicle is being sold as-is condition and buyer is responsible for pickup/transport.

Located in Knoxville, Tennessee near Nashville.
