1977 mercedes-benz 450sel 6.9 sedan

US$48,500.00 The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has earned a reputation as the gold standard for technology and luxury in automobiles. Consumers and automakers alike look to the S-Class to get a glimpse of the technology that will trickle down into ordinary cars in the coming decades. Airbags, ABS Brakes, advanced traction and stability systems, brake by wire, lane detection and driver fatigue warnings are just some of the technological features that first appeared on versions S-Class. The name stands for Sonderklasse, German for “Special Class” and it continues to set the standard for the luxury market.The S-Class’ first official appearance was with the W116 of 1972. The W116 sedan replaced the outgoing W108 and W109, and with the new car, styling was conservative and measured. Every surface of the body was carefully contoured with an eye toward occupant and pedestrian safety. Not flamboyant or showy, the styling conveyed a certain elegance and Teutonic confidence. It is said that the designers were obsessive in their quest to design the safest vehicle on the road and every detail was considered – the windscreen surround had deep channels to help guide rain water up and over the car at speed, the ribbed taillights stayed cleaner and thereby more visible in dirty conditions, sharp edges were contoured to soften the blow should a W116 encounter a pedestrian. Four wheel independent suspension and disc brakes were fitted as well as impact bumpers and a padded steering wheel. Mercedes-Benz had been on an obsessive quest for safety and technology with a variety of experimental cars in the 1960s and early 70s, and the W116 was the first road car to fully benefit from that experience.Quite typical for Mercedes, a variety of engines ranging from a 2.8 liter inline six to a 4.5 liter V8 across both standard “SE”...
