This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL was purchased by the seller in the late 1990s and is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in red over black upholstery and features a body-color removable hardtop, a black soft top, European-market headlamp bezels, and a Becker radio. Work in the last 400 miles is said to have included fluid changes and replacing the windshield, front tires, brake pads, tie rods, drag links, driver’s seat bolsters, turn signal switch, and heater levers.
The car is finished in red and is fitted with a replacement black soft top that was recently installed according to the seller. Additional exterior features include chrome-finished bumpers, European-market headlamp bezels, a replacement windshield, and twin exhaust outlets. A body-color removable hardtop is included in the sale along with a hardtop hoist.
Steel 14″ wheels wear polished hubcaps and whitewall tires, the front two of which are said to have been recently installed. Additional recent work reportedly included replacing the tie rods, drag links, and brake pads.
The cabin features seats upholstered in black MB-Tex along with matching door panels and wood trim on the dashboard and center console. Equipment includes a Becker Europa radio and three-point seatbelts. Recent work is said to have included replacing the driver’s seat bolsters, heat levers, and turn signal switch.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and frames a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The analog clock does not work. The seller has added approximately 18k miles, and the five-digit odometer shows 3k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The 2.8-liter inline-six produced 168 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque when new. The seller notes blue smoke from the exhaust after a cold start. Fluid changes were performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
