Now when my SL is out and running

 

maybe it is time to give this one some love too. I have not drive it since 2007 and now it have it is over 50 years old so I only have to test it at the government one more time.

I just give it some polish to start with. 😂😂

What engine is it?

 
By: @lberti : June 4th, 2025-19:14

4,5 liter. The car is a 450SLC made in 1973.

You could always transform it into rallying spec 😁

I believe Mercedes used the 450 SLC in that capacity for a while 👍🏻🏁 Very cool car 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes they have a Silver colored 450

Gorgeous! Hard to imagine these things can be 50 years old!!!

I bet the oil-based paint from the 1970s is still looking great!

Wow, having your own barn-find ;) I hope you have a lot of pleasure driving it again! Best, E.

Is this a US-spec or have the headlights been changed?

 
By: India Whiskey Charlie : June 5th, 2025-01:19

The headlights is from a US model.

I wish they were as valuable as the car… (I’d be rich) Cazalea

Great that you got it running again

That car is too beautiful to be sitting in the garage while the sun is shining.

Friend in college sometimes liberated his Mom’s 450SLC for the weekend.

It was green… not a forest or British racing green but cool nonetheless. I remember getting a ride in it for the first time and thinking “wow, this one of the coolest cars I’ve ever been in.” It looked great, felt great, and went really fast!
