BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL! This Collector's 1973 Mercedes FLAGSHIP SL-Class SL450 Hardtop Convertible/ cabriolet (with softtop) from the early 70's gets A-LOT of attention everywhere it goes.   Thumbs Up, Gas station stalkers, Gawkers, little kids and Adult admirers --- This car is like a celebrity driving down the road, and you feel special behind the wheel of this German classic.  The 1973 450SL is of the sought after early non-airbag version and the smaller and sleeker Euro Chrome bumpers with lower fog lamps.  (Yes. Car Enthusiasts prefer the classier oversized steering wheels without the airbags and the smaller Chrome bumpers over the ugly rubber bumper extensions of the late-70's and 80's cars with airbags). It doesn't get more classic than this.  *SPECTACULAR! Bronze/brown exterior on Tan leather interior this Mercedes SL450 is SUPER RARE & UNIQUE FLAGSHIP LUXURY SPORT Convertible.  In 1973 this SL450 convertible cost almost TRIPLE more than the average price of a U.S. car of the same year. The new Mercedes-Benz 450SL drew an exclusive clientele and appeared regularly on movies and popular TV show during the 1970s. ...and it drives soooo incredible with TONS of V8 power and the acceleration of a freight train. Very smooth highway cruiser or around town. Will not overheat or act up in anyway.  Recently received a full engine and transmission service so it's 3-speed automatic shifts smoothly and with authority. Does not shake or smoke. This 1973 SL450 includes a huge list of items that were optioned on the vehicle such as: *Cruise control  *Removable Hard top *Power Windows  *Cruise control *A/C *Heat *Power Locks *Tan leather interior seating and doors with minimal wear and tear *Chrome Wheels *Powerful disk brakes.. ORIGINAL Becker stereo does work perfectly, but it's AM/FM only, so I can also supply a nice compact yet poweful Oonz bluetooth speaker for use should you request it upon booking. A TRUE GERMAN CLASSIC FIT FOR YOU AND A TRAVEL COMPANION. PULL UP TO ANY BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL OR RESTAURANT IN MALIBU AND YOUR ALMOST SURE TO HAVE THIS CAR PARKED RIGHT OUT FRONT WITH THE LAMBOS, FERRARIS AND BENTLEYS. DRIVING THROUGH ANY TYPE OF MOUNTAIN OR CANYON ROADS IS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST! OR SIMPLY CRUISE ALONG THE PACIFIC COST HIGHWAY IN STYLE AND COMFORT.  GETTING MARRIED?! LET THIS 73' MERCEDES SL450 BE YOUR THIRD WHEEL AND FEAUTURE IT IN YOUR WEDDING PICS! THE SUSPENSION IS SUPER SOFT SO IT SOAKS UP BUMPS WITH RELATIVE EASE. The springs in the seats give you the sensation of riding in a cloud.  This is a 52 year old car and is driven often. It's ALL-ORIGINAL and fully stock with a gorgeous patina. It's not a garage queen and you don't want it to be either. I LOVE SHARING MY SL450 WITH ENTHUSIASTS AND THOSE WHO WISH TO EXPERIENCE A VINTAGE GERMAN SPORTS CAR. MY LOW RENTAL PRICE REFLECTS THAT. HAPPY MOTORING!!! (This car comes with both a removable Hardtop and built-in factory soft top. You have a choice to either rent the car with the hardtop or only the soft top. If you choose the hardtop you must have a place to safely store the hardtop should you decide to remove it and use the soft top, but you must let me know beforehand to make arrangements. The hardtop requires 2 people to safely remove and carry).
