About this car
This 1979 450SEL 6.9 is offered on eBay by beverlyhillscarclub in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $19,950. The car is finished in Silver Metallic, an automatic gearbox. The listing does not state a mileage. On a W116, rust in the sills, floor edges and around the front and rear screens is the main concern.
What the photos show
- Silver paint looks straight and glossy from all sides, no repaint needed on the panels shown.
- Chrome grille, bumpers and window trim look bright and complete, no chrome bill visible.
- Blue leather seats front and rear look supple with only light creasing, no need to reupholster.
- Dash looks uncracked and the burl wood looks rich and intact, though the radio is aftermarket, no dash spend needed.
- Trunk carpet looks clean, but the spare-wheel well underneath shows clear rust patches, budget for rust repair in the well.
- Engine bay is complete but dirty, with a rusty brake booster and heavy rust covering the underside of the hood, budget a bay detail and hood rust work.
- Bundt wheels look clean and tires show good tread, no immediate wheel or tire spend visible.
- A small rust spot shows at the rear sill by the back wheel, budget a local repair before it spreads.
- Underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge the floor or suspension rust underneath.
Money: At $19,950 for a 6.9 the strong paint and leather carry it, but the rusty hood underside and spare well mean real rust money is still to spend, so the price only works if the underside is solid.
