The Mercedes-Benz SL name has always signified a certain level of automotive style and sophistication, and each new generation seems both to define and be defined by its era. Such was the case when the R107 model SL came on the scene in 1972 as a replacement for the popular 230/250/280SL W113 series. The family of models existed with minimal changes until 1989, a remarkable production run for a luxury convertible. The first-year cars were dubbed 350SL in keeping with the model designation for Europe, despite actually carrying a 4.5-liter V-8 underhood. The fuel-injected V-8 features an overhead cam and delivers 230 horsepower. It is paired with a three-speed automatic, with no manual transmission on offer. Suspension is fully independent and four-wheel disc braking is standard.For the first model year only, '72 models were badged as 350SLs (original badging is intact) in the United States even though they were equipped with the larger 4.5-liter V8 designed specifically for the U.S. From 1973-80, the designation was changed to 450SL. 1972 were equipped with smaller bumpers shown here - VERY RARE. All U.S. 450SLs had 3-speed automatic transmissions.
