1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC for sale! In the world of classic grand touring coupes, few cars capture the spirit of late-1970s luxury and engineering prowess like the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC. This particular example stands out as an all-original survivor with just 35,398 recorded miles. It is finished in the elegant Milan Brown Metallic over a supple Bamboo leather interior. The 450SLC's extended wheelbase and fixed steel roof provide a unique blend of composure and practicality for long-distance travel.
Contemporary reviews praised the 450SLC for its smooth, torquey 4.5-liter V8, which delivered effortless power and a refined driving experience that was unmatched among its peers. The car's distinctive styling, advanced features, and robust build quality were lauded by critics, who noted the sense of occasion that accompanied every drive. This example is particularly well-equipped, boasting a suite of desirable factory options: an electrically operated sliding sunroof, Tempomat cruise control, central locking, a Becker Mexico full stereo cassette radio, automatic antenna, folding front armrest, automatic climate control, electric windows, heat-insulating glass with a heated rear window, and 15-hole light alloy rims.
Our car was acquired by its most recent owner from the widow of the former long-term owner, who purchased the car from a neighbor in the early 1980's. This example has always been treated with respect and dignity - without question. The original owner was John S. Levendos, who registered the car with his company Levendos International Sales Corp., as documented on the Protect-O-Plate, included in the history file. The car was originally acquired through Mercedes' European Delivery Program. This is documented in the Owner's Service Book, 1st inspection, which was performed in Germany. A catalog of European Mercedes-Benz dealers is also included with the books. The next 3 dealer services performed by a dealer in Pittsburgh are also included. These services are all included in the Service History file. The history file also includes service receipts from the previous owner. Taken all together, the files cover most of the cars' 45 years of loving care.
As the years have passed, the 450SLC has become increasingly sought after by collectors, with original, low-mileage examples like this one commanding a premium in the marketplace. Its unique place in Mercedes-Benz history, combined with its robust engineering and limited production, ensures that the SLC's collectible value will only continue to grow. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive historya grand touring coupe that embodies the luxury, performance, and enduring appeal of the three-pointed star.
