Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL, finished in a sleek black exterior over a brown leather interior. With its long hood, compact roadster proportions, and unmistakable R107 styling, this Mercedes-Benz represents one of the most recognizable luxury roadster designs of the 1970s.
Power comes from a 4.5-liter V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes complement the drivetrain, creating the relaxed driving character expected from an SL while retaining the smooth V8 performance that makes these early R107 models enjoyable cruisers.
The car has also received a considerable amount of service and maintenance within the last few years. Recent invoices show attention to the braking system, including brake components and fluid service, along with work to the rear suspension and steering-related components. Additional maintenance addressed various seals, hoses, fluids, and other mechanical items throughout the car.
Inside, the brown leather interior provides a warm contrast against the black exterior. The cabin retains the straightforward and refined layout associated with the R107, with an AM/FM radio providing entertainment while the driver enjoys the road. The seating position, instrumentation, and interior layout reflect the comfortable grand touring character that helped define the SL.
The black exterior gives the car an understated appearance that allows the chrome trim and signature Mercedes-Benz styling to stand out. Whether enjoyed as a weekend cruiser, taken to a local car show, or simply driven on a scenic route, this 350SL delivers the distinctive experience of an early V8-powered R107.
With its 4.5-liter V8, 3-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, brown leather interior, and extensive recent maintenance, this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL combines classic styling with the comfortable grand touring character that helped establish the SL's longstanding reputation.
