34-Years-Owned 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

The car wears an older repaint in beige over a Cognac interior, and power is provided by a fuel-injected 2. 8L inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car features flush Euro headlamps, though neither of the factory headlight notches are present in the front sheet metal. Close-up photos show a chip on the hood as well as corrosion in the rear fenders and valance. Factory 14? steel wheels wear covers with color-matched centers and Bridgestone whitewall tires. The interior is trimmed in Cognac upholstery with matching dash padding, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include crank windows as well as a period tri-band radio linked to Jensen speakers behind the rear parcel shelf. The black steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a tachometer, a 220-km/h speedometer, and a vertical auxiliary gauge cluster. The 2. 8-liter M130 inline-six features mechanical fuel injection and was reportedly fitted with a replacement distributor cap and rotor, ignition wires, and spark plugs in November 2018.
