1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 4-Speed

Power is provided by a replacement fuel-injected 2. 8L inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a matching hardtop, European-style headlamps, and a Becker Europa radio. Service following the selling dealer’s acquisition in August 2020 included installation of a stainless steel exhaust system, a tune-up, and fluid changes as well as replacement of the fuel pump and filter, engine and subframe mounts, ignition components, and shocks. The 2018 refurbishment reportedly included a repaint in Dark Red (542 G) as well as replacement of the bumpers and grille. The side marker lights and bumper overriders were omitted, and flush European-style headlamps were fitted. Black 14? steel wheels wear polished covers with body-colored centers, and Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE radial tires are fitted all around. The convertible top was retrimmed with black canvas fabric sourced from Germany, and retracts manually to store beneath the bodywork. A body-colored hardtop is included in the sale. Amenities consist of tan padding on the body-colored dash, a Becker Europa radio, replacement heater controls, and a clock. VDO gauges include a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, a 140-mph speedometer, and a five-digit odometer showing 65k chassis miles.
