Rebuilt Mercedes 450 Engine for sale. The Mercedes-Benz 450 series was the definition of luxury and performance throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. From the iconic R107 450SL roadster to the stately W116 450SEL, the 4.5L V8 engine offered powerful, smooth driving that made these cars true classics. But with age, even the toughest engines can suffer from worn internals, low compression, and oil leaks.
That’s where First Used Auto Parts comes in. We offer expertly rebuilt Mercedes 450 engines, restored to original factory specifications, backed by warranty, and ready to ship anywhere in the U.S.
