Details

This original 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL roadster is powered by a 2.8-liter SOHC inline-6 engine producing 160bhp at 5,700 rpm and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a white exterior, it's complemented by a Chocolate Brown interior that features several options, including air conditioning, a period-correct Becker Europa push-button AM/FM radio and a single exterior mirror. Recent work performed includes a complete repaint, as well as wet-sanding and buffing of the exterior. The hardtop was fully restored with new wood, rechromed hardware and a new headliner, and was painted to match the car. Professionals rebuilt the head, installed new gaskets, replaced the sub-frame mounts, replaced the brake booster, flushed and bled the brake system, rebuilt the rear calipers, replaced the rear soft brake line, installed a new voltage regulator, detailed the undercarriage and installed a new exhaust system with hangers and tips. This California car is from the final year of production for what became known as the "Pagoda" model. With limited ownership, the sale includes a soft-top, a fully restored hardtop, an original pouch with an assortment of manuals, a parts catalog and past service invoice. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
