Probably $8,000 to $12,000, if it's really nice. they are real world prices.
This kind of car is sorta kinda collectible but is not a "hot ticket", so to get a high price is going to take a long, long time, and the value is not going to go up much either.
Why is that? Because the car is heavy on gas and costly to fix, and purchasers know this. The smaller, lighter and to some prettier 280SL is in higher demand, and the afterward 560SL is a much improved variant of your car, and consequently brings a higher price.
This could be a good time to sell a 450SL things are not going to get better.
