"THE RESERVE IS $2500. 00"For those of you who might not know what a Reserve Price is. “A Reserve Price is the lowest price a seller is willing to sell an item. ” Normally the Reserve Price is hidden. but as a courtesy to our bidders I am letting you know up front that the Reserve Price for this car is $2500. 00. Therefore this car will not sell until the bidding has reached "at least" $2500. 00. (hope this helps)Registered as Non-Op. I have the Clear Title/Pink. 1973 Mercedes Benz 450 SL. I was told that the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. but I don't know when. The odometer was set back to ZERO (000. 00) when the rebuild was performed. and is at Zero now. The exterior metal is in excellent condition. The passenger door trim strip is in poor condition and loose. The interior is in need of some restoration. There are just a couple of small rust spots on the car. The engine compartment has no rust. This is a California car! The spare tire compartment in the trunk has a approx. 2 1/2" tear in the sheet metal. The carpet is loose against the transmission hump. There is minor paint repair on the drive side rear wheel well quarter panel. It looks like paint was scraped off and repaired. no bondo. just touch up paint. Very minor. No structural/body damage!I have not attempted to start the car. I'm not a mechanic and have been told that before starting the car that oil should be put in each cylinder to prevent cylinder wall scoring. Oil should be changed and all fluids replaced. This is a beautiful vehicle that needs restoration before being driven. I have also listed this car locally. therefore it is subject to end auction early.
