A 1972 Mercedes 350SL 4.5, now for sale at Californiaclassix.com!

Celebritiy Owned & Low Miles:
1972 Mercedes 350SL 4.5!

Allseits bekannt, erfreut sich das M-B 107er Modell, Nachfolger der sündhaft teuren Pagode, größter Beliebtheit, wurde es doch fast 18 Jahre lang gebaut. Die meisten dieser Kabriolets wurden in den U.S.A. vermarktet, dort jedoch ab 1974 mit unansehnlichen Eisenbahnschweller-Stossstangen versehen. Ein frühes Exemplar aus dem Jahre 1972 zu finden, welches nicht vom Rost zerfressen ist, kann heutzutage schon etwas schwierig werden, denn immerhin wurden die letzten fuer die Vereinigten Staaten bestimmten "Kleinstossstangenfahrzeuge" in 1973, also vor nunmehr 38 Jahren, ausgeliefert!

Diese wenigen noch gut erhaltenen frühen 350SL 4.5 und 450SL mit den europäischen Chromstossstangen sind also bereits gesuchte Sammlerstücke, da nach so vielen Jahren doch die meisten dieser Kabrios heruntergeritten und ausgelaugt sind.

Obwohl der brandneue Sport Leicht in den Vereinigten Staaten als 350SL angeboten wurde, kam dieser von Anfang an mit dem 4.5-Liter Motor des deutschen 450SL. Nach nur einem Baujahr wurde dieser Unfug berichtigt und das gleiche Auto dann ab Modeljahr 1973 als 450SL angeboten. Um aufgebrachten Kunden der 1972er Modelle den Wind aus den Segeln zu nehmen, hat Mercedes dann kurzfristig die "alten" 350SLs mit 450SL Heckklappenemblemen umgeruestet!
