RE: APPRAISAL REPORT: 1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SL Roadster
The Fair Market Value of this vehicle at the recent date of inspection was, $9,700.00
Here is the story with the car. I inherited the car from a very good friend of mine about a year an a half ago. Prior to that the car sat for close to 3 years. I drained all the gas / changed the oil / inflated the tires (replaced one)/ put on a new fuel filter / replaced the battery and away she went. Car runs good, but not perfect as I think it just needsa little bit of a tune up of plugs, wires, few new hoses. Paint is good but not 100% perfect with a car this age.
I amfine and prefer you to see the car in person if at all possible (located in Raleigh NC). The car is fun as heck to drive with the top off - have not actually ever had the soft top out, but it is in there.
Happy to send any pictures you'd like and will answer any questions anyone might have about the car.
