1974 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 450 SEL 4.5

Summary:

Fast, sleek and agile Benz

Faults:

Rear end of car, drivers tail light was wrecked. Fixed over a month period with bondo and replacement light and rear deck lid.

Power front window regulator in-op.

Worn/torn drivers seat.

Cheap repaint job is peeling, needs to be done correctly.

General Comments:

This car is very quick and nimble for a big 70's model.

German build quality is 2nd to none.

Paid 400 for, this is a steal.

I've added new tires and a tune up and fluid changes and new brakes.

Very roomy, has original Becker radio. I've had to replace rear speakers, but sound is adequate for this age of car.

Gas is pricey because it takes Super.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
