The Epitome of perfection, Class and Quality. Really says its the best or nothing. Offered just in time for summer is this first model extremely rare,timeless 1972 Mercedes-Benz SL 350. Odometer reads 70,820 but we can not guarantee the mileage because of age.( 44+ year old vehicle) Sold as is TMU "True Miles Unknown" EXEMPT" Great looking and driving for a 44 year old plus car.Definitely well kept and maintained all its life by its owners. These R-107's have appreciated significantly in recent years and continues to at record pace. This is not just any purchase to the right buyer, its a great investment.
Desirable classic champagne exterior with sandy brown interior. Newer tires,newer soft top, newer paint job that looks great.This Roadster is very clean both in and out considering the age. Normal wear which I consider less then normal wear as expected with age on this particular roadster.( definitely looked after well and maintained, even garaged most its life for sure, no smoke or pets odors)
Everything works like it should except A/C. For some reason the A/C belt is off. This SL 350 came with 4.5 liter V8 bulletproof engine, Classic single year manufactured steering wheel, Double roller timing chain unlike other models which makes this series very reliable and worry free. It comes with hard top which is also in very good condition. Has all the books, manuals, Mercedes tool kit, even a spare drive belt. Hard top in darker chocolate color even adds more to the overall looks.
I have taken several close up pictures to show the condition of the body and the quality of the paint. I'm quite certain this car was always looked after well. Top has No leaks.Clean clear title on hand.
Few small paint blisters in places with the most obvious and visible one less then the size of a quarter coin in the front right fender towards the lower front fender. Very clean for its age, and also location helps being a, Washington State ( Seattle area) car and we have mild weather compared to most of the country with no salt used on roads or no fading from intense sunlight.Pictures and closeup tells the condition well.
Looks, Runs and drives excellent. I personally would not hesitate to drive this anywhere .
Buyer to arrange for shipping and I will assist in any way I can.I can also pick you up from airport in Seattle should you plan to fly in and drive it back home. Washington State buyers will need to pay Tax and licensing as required by the State DMV and revenue.Out of state buyers are tax exempt.

We do a visual inspection and a test drive for an average of 40 miles on all vehicles we sell on Ebay to make sure it is good and ready for sale.
