The Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6. 9 was produced between 1975 and 1981 in extremely limited numbers. Between those years only 1816 where imported to the US. Only 437 in 1978. I am listing this 6. 9 for a friend of the family. Her husband was the second owner of this car and had it for many years. The husband has passed so I don't have much information on the cars history. I have done some research and I do know that the car is somewhat rare. There is another 6. 9 listed on eBay right now that is absolutely gorgeous and in a different category altogether then the one I am listing here. That being said. this car is a pretty good example. Everything on the car is fully operational and it is in great mechanical condition. The car has been well maintained and needs nothing in regards to the mechanics and operation. However. the car is not without some cosmetic issues that I will attempt to describe to the best of my abilities.

The interior is in outstanding condition with little or no noticeable wear. However the steering wheel is not original and neither is the radio. The leather seats are perfect. There are no rips or stains anywhere. There are two locations where the chrome trim on two of the door panels is coming off (Images 22 & 23)

As far as the exterior. there are a few issues. I have taken pictures of all the imperfections I could find and I will describe them one by one.

There is blistering in the paint on the hood/window cowl at each lower corner of the windshield (Images 19 & 20)

There is blistering in the paint on the right rear fender next to the bumper wrap around and the rubber on the wrap around is loose (Image 16)

There are a few chips on the door edges in a couple of places (Images 17 & 18)

There are a few chips 3-4 here and there that I took pictures of but didn't list as to not use up my allotted images. Overall the paint is in pretty good condition and you would have to look close to see the defects. That being said. I do believe the car has had a repaint sometime in the distant past. I would like to add that the wheels are in perfect condition. No curb rash. rust or imperfections of any kind.  Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking.
