About this car
Offered at auction on Bring a Trailer in Wayne, PA. The high bid stood at $5,544 when the car's page was loaded on November 2, 2026. A live bid is not an asking price, so this car is left out of the asking-price averages. The full gallery and listing details come from the car's own auction page.
What the photos show
- gold paint looks glossy and even, no paint bill showing on the outside
- brown soft top looks clean and tight with a clear rear window, no top money showing
- cream seats look excellent, the leather looks almost new, no need to reupholster
- odometer shows 131,273 miles, priced as a driver, not a low-miler
- the antenna mast is broken off at its base, small money to replace
- a front tire carries a 2000 date code, budget a full set of tires before real driving
- engine bay is complete but the air cleaner lid is rusty and the bay is dirty, budget a detail and checks
- paperwork photos in the gallery show welded patch repairs in both rockers and the floor, rust work hidden under the finished car
- one paperwork photo shows the right rocker jack point rusted through, ask hard questions about the rest of the shell
- the books photographed are 350SL manuals while the car is titled a 450SL, early US cars were sold as 350SL, but confirm the paperwork matches the car
- no current underside photos in the sampled set, can't judge today's floors, only the old repair prints
Money: at $5,544 the shiny paint hides documented rocker and floor rust repairs, so bid only after a lift inspection confirms the patches were done right.
