Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car, n sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, n order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree.

West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this original southern California 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC 2 door hardtop coupe with only 106K miles, he last year and most expensive model of the legendary 450 series, t an original MSRP of $43,676 ($126,048 CPI for 2015!) compared to $36,897 for the same year 450SL roadster, in absolutely beautiful condition throughout!
Mercedes Benz released two iconic models in the early seventies, he 450SL two seater roadster and the 450SLC two door coupe and these cars were the ultimate status symbol of their day, ymbolic for their era of exclusivity and immediately identifiable by their uniquely original styling. They were to create a cult following which has continued to this day. They were sold as the R107 SL roadster and the C107 SLC coupe with the coupe model wheelbase lengthened by 14" to make room for the rear seat passengers in a fixed pillarless superstructure above the 2+2 cabin, hilst still incorporating its sports car dynamics. The 450SLC was built in very limited numbers and was one of the most exclusive coupes ever made, ffering the sensations of a true sports car but with the refinements of a four seater grand touring coupe!
The particular example is to be sold with all its original handbooks and owners manuals available and it is quite obvious that this particular example was always garaged with no accidents or rust and never smoked in! All options are working as they should including the air conditioning.
The original and very striking and rare factory 'Walnut Brown' color paint is in very fine condition and the 'Palomino' leather interior is also in gorgeous shape with virtually no signs of wear which is quite remarkable considering its very light color! The car has its original chrome Mercedes 'Bundt' wheels which are also in exceptional condition.
The car's factory options include: automatic transmission, ower assisted steering, ower brakes, inted glass, cruise control, electric window lifts, lectrically heated rear window on hard top, fully independent suspension, ower assisted four wheel disc brakes, limited slip differential, utomatic antenna, alogen head and fog lamps, orking automatic air conditioning with climate control and central locking. Please also note that the car's original working 'Becker' radio is in the car.
The car drives exactly like such a well maintained and serviced Mercedes should and must be seen and driven to be truly appreciated. The engine is extremely strong with no noticeable oil leaks, he transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the temperature always remains cool. All the options are working as they should. The car has a recent California smog certificate.
Without doubt, his is one of the finest classically beautiful designs built by Mercedes-Benz, robably the last classically beautiful series they built which are now at long last becoming more desirable and collectible than ever before - certainly you will look long and hard to find a finer head-turning example of this last year original southern California model with only 106K miles available anywhere else!
