1971 Mercedes Benz 280SE Sedan, 2.8L Fuel Injected 6cyl, Factory Air, Power Windows, Original Becker Radio
Coming to you this week we present to you, a beautiful 1971
Mercedes-Benz 280SE Sedan. It is a very solid and rust free example showing its pampered life here in the dry southwest and California. The car appears to be a two owner car. The car was originally purchased at Brooking Oldsmobile Mercedes Inc in Oceanside, CA on July 19th, 1971 by Mr. John Wasko. The car remained in Southern California showing services from La Jolla all the Way up to Riverside and Ontario. Its second owner was a Air Force member most likely purchased it sometime around 1985 as it still retains its Air Force Base entry decals from Norton AFB near San Bernadino, CA from 1992. The car came to Arizona in the early 90s when its owner retired and has remained here ever since. This car truly is a time capsule and is interesting and enjoyable on so many levels and has a very colorful personality as well as history.

The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The original paint on the car was just beautifully three stage buffed to bring out the beautiful original luster. The car has no previous previous collision damage or paintwork. The car has the expected few small chips here and there as expected from a 45 year old car. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged California car should be, and has never been in any accidents. The car is riding on original steel Mercedes wheels and hubcaps which were just fully polished. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in good shape. The car has BRAND NEW Uniroyal Tiger Paw Radial Whitewalls.
The interior is all original condition all around. The supple brown seats are all in good condition and look very nice, which shows the quality of material used in this car. The original dash in the car is beautiful and crack free. All the wood is in very nice condition with no cracks and only very minimal lacquer checking. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, the spare tire and wheel, and a original trunk mat. The trunk pan is solid and the cardboard inserts are still in nice shape.
Mechanically,
this
280se runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The
2.8L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The car was always regularly serviced and the car was well cared for. The service booklet is fully stamped since day one and is fully serviced right up to a Major E Service at 75,000 miles.
All in all, this is one of the neat Mercedes. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price. This is your chance to get a classic Mercedes for a fraction of the original cost. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at
