This 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL was initially sold by Markham Motors of Somerville, New Jersey to the first owner who kept the car in New Jersey through 2000. It was subsequently purchased by the current owner with all original service records. Finished in Light Ivory (623) over a Bamboo (167) interior, power comes from a 4.5L V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power sliding sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, a power antenna, and power windows with rear headrests optioned. Service records are included showing regular maintenance since new between both owners and the A/C has been converted to R134. Since 2020, new parts include a starter, brake master cylinder, radiator, alternator, battery, motor mounts, and updated exhaust system. Additionally, this example benefits from new tires and brake rotors/calipers. This 450SEL shows 49k original miles and is offered by the current owner and seller with factory literature, two keys, complete service records, and a clean transferable Connecticut registration in the current owner’s name. 

This long-wheelbase example is finished in Light Ivory (623) paint with original brightwork around the windows, at the beltline, and on the bumpers. The paint is accented with a two-tone gold and brown pinstripe showing some fading. The driver door was reportedly refinished under previous ownership. Exterior features include North American sealed beam headlamps, lower fog lamps, a power antenna, and two rear view mirrors. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery below.

Original 14” aluminum Bundt wheels are mounted with Hankook Kinergy tires measuring 205/70 at all four corners. New tires and brakes have recently been installed. 

The interior is trimmed in Bamboo Leather across the seats, headrests, door cards, and armrest. Zebrano veneer accents the dashboard and center console. Interior equipment includes power windows, automatic climate control, an aftermarket car phone, optional rear headrests, and a factory-optioned power sunroof. Detailed photos of the cabin, carpet, and perforated headliner can be seen in the gallery. The seller notes the cruise control to work intermittently.
