REALLY?!? this guy is nutz. Inflated price and no pix to back it up. Not
even sure what this thing is.
What is wrong with all the idiots who just title their positing as "Mercedes"?
Do they really expect somebody to dig deeper to bother
I can top that:
Do you have the extra keys, Do you have the spare tire, Where did you
get your car serviced, Have you ever had any transmission repairs and
Is there any rust on the vehicle? I'm ready to pay your asking price
but not cash in person because I am serving in the US army and

Thats right Rick, there are just lots of these cars around here if you know
where to look.
This car found me... a friend of a friend put me in contact with the
seller. He never advertised it, just word of mouth.
Oddly enough, its a few blocks from where my 79 300SD was living its whole
life,
It used to be like that around here to some extent. All of the blue hairs that
would come down here to die would have a nice old MB sitting in the garage.
When I do see these (and I watch the local CL pretty closely) any more they
seem to have unrealistic expectations as to the cars value. I
Once someone is trying to resell, its already too expensive. I've found
that unreasonably high prices are usually taken care of with time, and a
lower offer. When nobody else shows up to look at the car for a few weeks
or months, it helps.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to buy cars of any real value
I don't know if they still do it, but MB of Tampa would occasionally have one
of these cars on their used lot.
I don't know if they were consigning them or just bought them outright, but as
one might imagine, the prices were pretty stupid.
And they did sell, believe it or not.

Not if it's really a 5.0 like the trunklid says. (Gray-market factory
special with lightweight body, aluminum engine.)
Alex
The 5.0 didn't start til later, so if its a 75 its not a 5.0.
What do you dislike about the 75s Dan? I might have just bought a 75
450SL. It was too nice to say no, original owner just died, always
garaged, original paint, etc. I was happy it didn't have ACC II, but I'll

If the MB of that era are anything like domestic iron of that era, ugh.
Emission controlled, breathless, hp choked, EPA restricted turds they were.

Yeah, all the mid 70s stuff is a low point in automotive history. Giant
bumpers, lots of smog crap. But a 75 still has more power than a late 450,
manual climate control. And D jet gives all sorts of ownership challenges,
if you like that sort of thing!

I just think about all of the 1975 450SLs I've looked at that had roasted fuel
lines, D-Jet issues, etc.
When I was considering buying one a few years back, I can't count the number of
1975 models I saw - tons of them. They were almost all roasted under the hood
from the cats.

I used my signed personal copy of John's book to do my research when I was
looking at these cars. For some reason, there are just tons of 75s and 76s
around this area. I'll bet there are a few on CL in Tampa right now.
Nearly every one I looked at would have needed all of the engine

Caveat. I don't own these books, and haven't read them. All are less than $65.
