About this car
1978 450SEL 6.9 at Daniel Schmitt & Co. in St. Louis, MO. 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 in Saint Louis, MO | Daniel Schmitt & Co.

What the photos show
- Only one photo is in the gallery, a single front three-quarter view, so most areas can't be judged from photos alone
- The cream paint looks clean, even and glossy down the side, so no paint work is suggested by this shot
- The chrome grille and trim look bright and the body looks straight, so no obvious chrome or panel bill shows
- The dark interior glimpsed through the glass looks tidy, but the seats and dash are too shadowed to judge properly, so interior costs stay unknown
- I can't judge the engine bay, underside or rear of the car, because none are shown in the single photo
Money: At $74,900 sold, the one photo shows a clean, straight 6.9 that looks well kept, a good sign for the price — but a single view cannot confirm a car this complex.
