This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC was previously auctioned on The MB Market in 2023. After the prior auction the owner of the car donated it to the Florida Wildlife Center to be used for fundraising in a raffle. The winner, located in Georgia, chose to gift the SLC to her son who sold it to the current owner and seller in April of 2023. It currently shows 4,024 (TMU) miles on the odometer with approximately 3,500 miles driven by the seller under their ownership. The SLC is finished in Astral Silver (735) over Blue Leather and is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 mated with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 17” monoblock-style wheels, automatic climate control, a power operated sliding sunroof, heat-insulated glass with a heated rear window, cruise control, central locking and power windows. An aftermarket bluetooth Continental head unit sits in place of the factory Becker radio. Recent maintenance includes a comprehensive fuel system overhaul consisting of a restored fuel tank, new strainer, all new lines, new Bosch pump, new filter, new accumulator, new relay, new thermostat, and new resistors. A new battery was also installed for 2025 with a 3-year warranty. It’s currently offered for sale in West Palm Beach by the owner with one key and a clean Florida title. 

The exterior is finished in Astral Silver (735) as a repaint in 2019. The rear window was simultaneously replaced. The exterior features chrome trim along the beltline, window trim and bumpers, new headlamps courtesy of the current owner, lower front fog lamps, and a power antenna. The seller reports the driver side rocker panel was replaced under their care as a result of bubbling beneath the paint. 

Aftermarket 17” monoblock-style wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season tires measuring 225/45 front and 245/40 rear. The wheels wear a silver finish with a polished lip and feature a Mercedes-Benz star mounted in the center. The wheels are in good condition with no signs of curb rash or damage.

The cabin has been refinished in Blue Leather which can be found on the seats, dashboard, door panels and center armrest with wood trim lining the center console and dashboard. Interior equipment includes automatic climate control with air conditioning, power windows, central locking, cruise control, an aftermarket Continental bluetooth head unit and aftermarket Pioneer speakers. The seller notes the A/C functions when on “high” fan speed. The front seats fold forward to allow access to the second row.

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer which sits alongside a 7k-rpm tachometer and an analog clock with gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six digit odometer currently shows 4,024 miles and true mileage is unknown.

This C107 is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 which is factory rated at 180 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance under the prior owner included a set of new spark plugs, an engine oil and oil filter change, a new alternator and new accessory belts. Recent maintenance under current ownership includes a comprehensive fuel system overhaul consisting of a restored fuel tank, new strainer, all new lines, new Bosch pump, new filter, new accumulator, new relay, new thermostat, and new resistors. A new battery was also installed for 2025 with a 3-year warranty.
