About This Car
This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL is finished in Papyrus White over blue MB-Tex upholstery and is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a blue convertible soft top, a removable hardtop, four-wheel disc brakes, and 14″ steel wheels with painted covers as well as power windows and a Pioneer Super Tuner radio. The seller purchased the car in 2023 and reports subsequent work consisting of replacing the shift bushings, repairing the instrument lights and a fuel leak, and servicing the steering and suspension systems. This R107 shows 206k miles and is now offered with owner’s manuals, a car cover, a tire jack, spare parts, and Alabama registration in the seller’s name.
The car was factory-finished in Papyrus White (717) and is fitted with a blue convertible soft top and a body-color removable hardtop. Exterior details include fog lights, chrome bumpers, and polished aluminum trim along with a non-operational power antenna. Photos provided in the gallery below show stains in the soft top’s rear window as well as areas of oxidation and missing paint.
Steel 14â³ wheels with polished and painted covers wear 205/70 Sailun Atrezzo SH408 tires said to have been mounted under current ownership. Braking is provided by four-wheel power-assisted discs. Additional reported work during the seller’s time with the car consisted of steering and suspension work with hydraulic-line replacements.
The bucket seats are upholstered in blue MB-Tex, and the door panels are trimmed to match. Additional appointments include seat headrests, power windows, and central locking in addition to a Pioneer Super Tuner radio housed in the glovebox. The Becker Europa radio has been disconnected, the seller reports the air-conditioning system needs to be recharged, and damage to the driver’s seat is shown in the gallery.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level, and the instrument-panel lights were repaired under current ownership. The six-digit odometer shows 206k miles. The seller notes that the car has accrued approximately 21k miles since 1994, and approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.5-liter V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports repairing a fuel leak and replacing the shift bushings under their ownership.
Rust on some underside surfaces is further depicted in the gallery.
