About this car
1978 450SL at David's Classic Cars in Marion, IL. The dealer publishes no price for this car, so the number has to come from a call. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- only one full-size photo is actually this car, the rest of the gallery is tiny thumbnails of other R107 roadsters, so the 11-photo gallery is mostly padding
- in that one photo the silver paint looks clean and glossy with the hardtop fitted, parked against a block wall, no obvious rust or damage showing, so no immediate paint bill is visible
- chrome grille and bumper look straight, though the front bumper rubber and valance look scuffed and tired, a small cosmetic spend to allow for
- the car wears a Florida plate and later-style alloy wheels, tidy overall from this one angle
- the two thumbnails big enough to open are red roadsters, not this silver car, so they add no evidence
- can't judge the seats or interior, nothing inside is shown beyond glass, so upholstery cost stays unknown
- can't judge the dash or wood, no interior photo is provided, so trim cost can't be priced
- can't judge the engine bay, it is never shown, so mechanical condition is a complete unknown
- can't judge the soft top, only the hardtop is shown fitted, so folding-top cost is still open
- can't judge the underside, no lift photo, so R107 bulkhead and sill rust remains a risk
Money: with no price listed, the one real photo shows a presentable silver hardtop car, but with no interior, bay, soft-top or underside evidence it can only be priced as uninspected
