The Mercedes-Benz R107 series roadster/coupes were sold from 1971 through 1989. This remarkably long production life is credited to the graceful design and mechanical robustness that gave the cars of a great reputation and kept buyers returning to the showroom each year without the need for drastic changes. The market for these cars is good right now for buyers and should start to pick up right around the time that AI makes us all unemployed and gasoline is only sold in small jugs at specialty shops. Find this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350SL offered for $8500 in Salt Lake City, UT via craigslist. Tip from Erik202.
From the seller:
1973 Mercedes 350SL
fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: manual
Very Rare 1973 Mercedes 350SL Stick Shift. White with Tan Interior. Very nice condition. Hard and soft top. Interior and soft top are excellent. Runs great. Drives great but tires should be replaced. This car is VERY RARE!
This is the actual European car with manual transmission, high compression engine with factory high performance camshafts etc.
Not to be confused with the common 450SL of the era.
The car is being stored indoors in Sandy Utah. Do your research on this car and you will find out how rare this car is and how the high performance engine and transmission really transforms the SL into a true sports car.

You're the only car guy who acknowledges what i happening in your write-ups! Over at BAT it's always 2007! And this the ONE car you've posted that I may buy. I've always wanted a manual version of these. The 124 Spider is a little too small and no a/c for today's driving, but this can be refurbished into a seriously cool roadster. Thanks for posting.
