R107 Project: 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC

This next featured Mercedes-Benz SLC sits as an interesting (& maybe daunting) project, but the fundamentals are all there: classic pillarless coupe proportions, basic mechanicals (and known electrics), and the kind of durability that made the R107 cars famous. It’s less about flash and more about bringing a proper old-school Mercedes back to life, but you’ll need to be handy with tools and a multimeter. At least you won’t need to worry about flaky CAN bus connections or touchscreens with intermittent faults. Find this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC offered for $3000 in Rosamond, CA via facemarket restobook.

Seller’s description
Very clean and complete Mercedes. Garage kept with minimal owners. Multiple European parts installed for a more euro look and feel. Have multiple spare parts including a taillight and fuel injectors that all come with the car. Bring a trailer, sold as is. Title in hand, it ran and drove when parked 2 1/2 years ago. Ran out of motivation and time when it came to this. Will take trades. Message me if you want any more pictures or info!i
