1973 Mercedes-Benz SL 450 review from North America
"One of Mercedes Benz's best models"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injectors had to be changed
gasoline hoses had to be replaced
car should have been designed with 15 inch rims.
General comments?
Over all, the car is fun to drive and it is a head turner.
