5074-TPA 1979 MERCEDES-BENZ 450SEL
Expertly crafted with Germanic precision, this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL presents an authoritative Dark Gray Metallic finish. The three-pointed star proudly leads the way, firmly establishing this sedan's prestigious bloodline. Angular yet elegant body lines create a sophisticated profile that only Mercedes-Benz could perfect during the late 70s. Factory 14" Mercedes wheels maintain authentic European road presence, fitted with 205/70R14 tires for proper grip. Four doors offer access to luxury while distinctive stacked headlights and well-proportioned chrome bumpers complete the unmistakable W116 S-Class aesthetic that made these cars automotive royalty among executives worldwide.
German luxury permeates throughout the Saddle Tan vinyl interior where every control was engineered for driver satisfaction. Bucket seats show excellent preservation with firm yet comfortable support that only Mercedes could design. The uncracked dashboard houses crystal-clear gauges displaying information with trademark Teutonic precision. Wood trim accents surround the console-mounted shifter, adding old-world craftsmanship to the driving environment. Numerous luxuries abound including power windows, door locks, and the highly desirable Becker Mexico radio. Cold R12 air conditioning maintains ideal cabin temperature regardless of outside conditions, exactly as Mercedes engineers intended.
German V8 muscle comes courtesy of the 4.5 Liter engine with sophisticated electronic fuel injection providing smooth, authoritative power delivery. The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts with calculated precision expected from Stuttgart's finest automobiles. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring this executive sedan to controlled stops while power steering gives directional control with minimal effort. Independent suspension with rear coilovers delivers that signature floating-on-air sensation that defined Mercedes-Benz luxury during this golden era. The well-maintained engine compartment shows careful attention with factory-correct components throughout.
