In the first year with the re-styled grille and headlights, this 1972 Mercedes-Benz is pampered same-family-owned luxury with less than 50,000 miles. Finished in silver with dark blue accents, this hardtop convertible shows no signs of regular use. With a jaw-droppingly detailed re-paint, this virgin 350 SL has all of its original paperwork, including the protect-o-plate warrantee documentation. An automatic transmission, this butter-soft blue leather-finished convertible looks brand new, and runs quietly. With air conditioning and all power options, this car’s exterior, interior (including its original jumpseat), and highly-detailed engine compartment are all reflections of its tremendous maintenance. In the trunk, this 42 year-old German sportscar includes its original toolkit, jack and spare. In the perfect color combination, this sleek automobile appears to have not aged a day. Remembered as one of the symbols of success in its day, this Mercedes’ design, quality, and presentation is simply timeless.Fast Bullet Points:- Silver/Blue Mercedes 350 SL hardtop roadster- Approximately 48,000 miles- Extensive paperwork and documentation, original tools, etc.- Top quality re-paint, and restoration- Highly optioned with air conditioning, various power options
