About this car
This 1979 450SEL 6.9 is offered on eBay by beverlyhillscarclub in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $8,950. The car is finished in Brown Metallic, an automatic gearbox. The listing does not state a mileage. On a W116, rust in the sills, floor edges and around the front and rear screens is the main concern.
What the photos show
- brown paint is burnt and peeling across the roof, sunroof panel, hood and trunk, so a full respray is unavoidable
- the left rear quarter panel is rusted through in a large patch above and behind the wheel, so budget major metal repair
- the rear badge reads 450 SEL with no 6.9 badge visible in the photos, so verify the 6.9 engine claim against the VIN before paying 6.9 money
- photos are watermarked Beverly Hills Car Club stock 19553 and the car wears California plate 1KBW246
- front and rear seat covers are shredded with padding and bare backing exposed, so a full reupholster is needed
- dash wood is delaminating and cloudy and the dash top is cracked, so budget dash wood and pad work
- door cards are surprisingly good for the car's state, so they may clean up without replacement
- the engine bay is complete but filthy with rust on the core support, so expect a full recommissioning bill
- underside photos show solid-looking black floors but a rusty exhaust system, so budget exhaust work
- the last sampled photo is an exact duplicate of the first, so the gallery is mildly padded
Money: at $8,950 this is project money for a rusty, sun-baked sedan; it only makes sense if the VIN proves it is a real 6.9, because the body and interior work will cost far more than the ask.
