About this car
This 1973 450SL is offered on eBay by wynnauto in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $15,000. The car is finished in Blue over Brown, an automatic gearbox, power from a 4.5-liter V8 engine. The odometer shows 155,045 miles. The eBay title does not name the model; the engine and body described in the listing identify it as a 450SL. On an R107, check the front subframe mounts and the soft-top well for rust, and on the V8 cars the timing-chain guides.
What the photos show
- Blue paint is glossy and even in the outdoor shots, no repaint bill in view.
- Chrome bumpers and wheel-arch trim look bright from a distance, no rechroming cost for the body chrome.
- Tan seats look good overall, but the driver's seat-back side shows a split seam, so budget for a seat repair.
- Dash looks presentable from above with no big cracks seen, no dash bill expected from these shots.
- Chrome wheels look shiny from far off but are heavily pitted and corroded in close-up, so budget for wheel refinishing or replacement.
- Tires look newer with deep tread, no immediate tire spend in view.
- Dark blue soft top fabric is mostly good, but there is a small tear on the side and the rear window is yellowed, so budget for a top repair or replacement.
- Hardtop is present and matches the blue paint, a plus that saves buying one separately.
- Engine bay is complete but dusty with rusty hoses and aged surfaces, so budget for detailing and engine-bay sorting.
- No underside photos were in the sampled set, so I can't judge underside rust or leaks.
Money: At $15,000 the glossy blue paint carries it, but the pitted chrome wheels, torn soft top and split seat seam are real costs the wide shots hide.
