Vehicle Details

The Mercedes Benz 280 SL was produced from 1967-1971 with 23,885 cars being produced in that time. This particular car had the 2.8L Inline Six with 170 horsepower and 180 lb ft of torque mated up to an automatic gearbox. Restoration of this classic Mercedes included metal and lead work as well as complete body and basecoat/clearcoat paint in an original Mercedes Benz color of Tunis Beige with a Cognac leather interior.A large supply of new MB and NOS parts were used in the restoration.

The engine & transmission were both rebuilt by our local MB mechanical guru using only the highest quality parts available. The exhaust is new from MB Classic. The interior was trimmed in-house using the highest quality materials including a new soft top.The car has its original owner’s manual showing it sold new in Beverly Hills. It was purchased by our customer’s father-in-law in CA in the early 1980’s, and has been in their family ever since.We later sold this vehicle successfully on behalf of the owner

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
