This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a European-market example that was imported from Germany in 1985 and acquired by the seller in 2020. The car is finished in Signal Red over black vinyl with patterned cloth inserts and is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes fog lights, a front spoiler, a black hardtop, a black convertible top, air conditioning, and a Becker Grand Prix stereo. Service performed since 2020 reportedly includes changing the oil, adjusting the valves, and replacing the valve cover gasket, rear engine mount, shift lever bushings, rear stabilizer links, brake pads and rotors, spark plugs, and driveshaft flex discs.
The body was refinished in Signal Red during previous ownership and features European-market bumpers, US-market headlamps, a front spoiler, a black hardtop, and a black convertible top. Noted flaws include tears in the soft top, a broken power antenna, and an incorrect 380SL rear badge.
14″ steel wheels feature polished hubcaps with black painted centers and wear 225/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires. Service since 2020 reportedly includes replacing the rear stabilizer links, brake pads, and rotors.
The seats are upholstered in black vinyl with patterned cloth inserts, and the cabin features wood trim, air conditioning, power aLessories, an aftermarket alarm system, and a Becker Grand Prix stereo with aftermarket Bluetooth integration. The seller notes that the air conditioning system was recently serviced, and a set of sheepskin seat covers are included in the sale.
The textured steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, and a combination gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 91k miles.
The 2.8-liter inline-six features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 185 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Service since 2020 reportedly includes changing the oil, adjusting the valves, and replacing the valve cover gasket, rear engine mount, spark plugs, and exhaust piping after the catalytic converter.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. The seller states that the shift lever bushings and the flex discs were recently replaced.
