1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 4-Speed

This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is powered by a 2. 8-liter M130 inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in Signal Red with a color-matched hardtop and a replacement black soft top over a black leather interior. The car was reportedly refurbished in the early 1990s with a repaint, as well as engine, suspension, and brake work, and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2014. The car left the factory in Signal Red (568) and was reportedly repainted following bodywork and replacement of the rocker panels as part of the refurbishment completed in the early 1990s. A replacement black soft top is fitted, and a matching removable hardtop with a heated rear window is included in the sale. Equipment includes a driver-side mirror, chrome bumpers with overriders, and dual exhaust outlets. The selling dealer notes a clearcoat blemish near the hood. The 14? steel wheels wear hubcaps with body-color centers and are mounted with 195/75 Kelly Navigator whitewall tires. A full-size spare with a matching tire is protected by a vinyl cover and is mounted in the trunk. The suspension and brakes were reportedly refurbished as part of the work completed in the early 1990s, including a brake caliper rebuild and installation of replacement rotors, pads, bushings, and shocks.
