The seller offers for sale this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC, powered by a 4.5-litre V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic gearbox. The car is reported to drive, and the automatic transmission operates as intended. Cosmetically, the exterior presents in fair condition, with a noted slight mark near the passenger-side door and signs of use. The interior, however, is in poor condition and will require significant attention, making this example best suited for a buyer planning refurbishment or restoration work.
The Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC belongs to the C107 series, a longer-wheelbase coupe derivative of the well-known R107 SL. Designed as a comfortable grand touring coupe, the SLC combined V8 performance with solid build quality and long-distance refinement. Today, the 450 SLC is appreciated for its understated styling, durability and smooth driving character, offering an interesting and increasingly rare alternative to the open-top SL models for enthusiasts willing to invest in improvement.
