1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC

• Silver paint looks even and glossy on all sides in these photos, no big dents or mismatched panels, so no repaint bill on looks alone.
• Chrome bumpers and grille look bright and straight, no re-chroming needed from what is shown.
• Blue leather seats show light creasing but no tears or split seams, no need to reupholster.
• Blue door card looks flat, clean and complete, no trim repair needed there.
• Dash top looks smooth with no cracks visible and the wood trim looks glossy, no dash or wood bill showing.
• Engine bay looks dusty and aged, with a yellowed coolant tank and surface rust on the brake booster, so budget a proper detail and check the booster and cooling parts.
• Bundt wheels look clean and the tires look usable, no wheel refurb or instant tire bill from these views.
• Underside is only shown in one low shot with heavy textured coating and a rusty-looking exhaust, so you can't judge the floors or rockers properly — get it on a lift before paying.
• This is a fixed-roof coupe, so there is no soft top to judge or replace.

Money: At $12,750 the clean paint, chrome and blue leather help the price, but the aged engine bay and the one-shot underside mean you should keep money back for a lift inspection and cooling/brake checks.
