Mercedes 450SL - Sell it, or fix it
Рет қаралды 5,273
Күн бұрынIn this video we will look at a 1980 Mercedes 450SL which has been in storage for years. There are some clear cosmetic issues and some minor mechanical problems to make it totally right. Do I sell it as is or follow through with repairs

nice car, my 81 380sl has a becker radio in it from the factory, not sure if yours is factory or not. You are spot on, the more you drive these cars the better they run

I agree I spend a great deal of time with cold start and idle circuits in multiple cars, Auxillary air Valves in particular. I am fixing it up did have distribution block rebuilt. Plus plus plus will do video soon

I own a 76..They are the stuff of nightmares . Bosch fuel injection and ignition is so archaic and parts are not available plus most mechanics wont mess with the older SLs

I sure hope you don;t wreck that car with pin stripes. Friedrich Geigers design is perfect right out the factory and I've never understood the bizzarre American fetish for defacing it with pinstripes.

It’s all perspective and taste most 107’s in the US had pinstripes

@@americandreamgarage3054 No Mercedes ever left the factory with pinstripes. That was a weired US abberation where I guess dealers were able to sucker the country club set into paying for them thinking it made them look classier. You're right it's a matter of perspective and taste. From my perspective and to my taste they just clutter up the look of the car, so I shall wage war against the concept to my dying keystroke.

Sell it. Looks like a nice car, but it will never be as attractive as the 560 80-89 models

I agree. I really like the old school convertibles but I’m particularly sold on the 300-560 S-Class models as well from the ‘80s.
