1976 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Euro Spec, 2.8L 6cyl, A/C, 2 Tops, Blaupunkt Cassette, Alloys
Here is an absolutely stunning 1976 Mercedes 280 SL in great condition inside and out.
This car is a Euro Spec unit imported from Germany in 1977. These cars still retained the super desirable small bumper 107 SL, which
is a much sleeker looking car than its later incarnations. This car is straight out of an estate and is believed to have only 23,000 miles, but has no paperwork to confirm it. It is rare to find these SL's with this kind of low mileage because once you drive this car you won't want to get out. Here is your chance to own the Mercedes flagship for a fraction of its original sticker cost.
The list of some of the equipment:
-2.8L Dual Overhead Cam Straight 6
-Automatic Transmission
-Manual Windows
-Power Door Locks
-Brand New Soft Top
-Removable Hard Top
-German Blaupunkt Am/Fm Cassette
-Ice Cold A/C
-Beautiful Original Interior
The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is still its original color of Code 568 Signal Red and is an older repaint but shines beautifully. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock other than two small spots in each front wheel well. The car is riding on gorgeous original 14” bundt wheels with older Michelin tires. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. All glass is original, even the windsheild is original Mercedes German glass. The black soft top is new and also had the seals replaced with the top. The hard top has good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape. Overall the exterior appearance of this car is a 9 out of 10.
The interior is in great shape all around. The dash and door panels are in excellent condition. The MB-Tex seats are all in very good condition and look absolutely as good as the day it was new which shows the quality of material used in this car. The carpets are all very nice and have been professionally cleaned. All dials and controls function as they should; power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The car has a german Blaupunkt cassette which was installed at some point before it was imported!
Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The straight 6 engine is surprisingly quick and responsive. Many Mercedes experts and mechanics stand behind the 2.8L as the best engine Mercedes ever made. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. The most recent owner spent over thousands completely overhauling the Air Conditioning system, complete front end overhaul, all new shocks, all new brakes, fuel system gone through with new fuel pumps and pressure regulators, and transmission fully resealed as well as a recent full tune up including ballast, coils, plugs, wires and points and a recent head and ring job.
All in all, this is one of the cleanest and nicest small bumper SL's that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners.This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. This is your chance to get an almost new 280sl convertible for a fraction of the original cost and super well maintained. The car has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, AZ!
