Description of 1973 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 280SEL 4.5V8 |
| carmanuals4less Store 1973 Mercedes-Benz W108 280SEL 4. 5 V8 What we have for sale is RARE and HIGHLY Desirable 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL 4. 5V8 !! It is documented 2 owner vehicle from new. with only 138. 00 documented and well cared miles (only about 3. 00 miles per year!!!!) It was purchased Brand New by a Doctor in Orlando. Florida. and then in 1990 it was purchased by its second owner. who also resides in Sunny Florida!!!! Bill of sale from the Second Owner from 1990 is included with the numerous maintenance and service records!! Besides being a 2 owner vehicle. this SEL comes loaded with very rare Sunroof as well as ultra rare floor gearshift options!!! Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the 108 and 109 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizeable - the Gullwing Mercedes. the '57 Chevy. and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy. yet affordable as a 108 or 109 chassis Mercedes-Benz. These models also made their way into many shows and movies - and still do. even to this day. From Seinfeld ("The Jimmy") to The Simpsons ("The Bart Wants What It Wants"). and every genre in between. the 108 and 109 will live on forever. The 108 and 109 Chassis Mercedes Benz vehicles are the last truly hand-built S-Class Mercedes vehicles (aside from some current AMG models). They were also the last vehicles with the infamous "Mercedes look" - stacked headlamps (on North American versions). curvy hoodlines. and a very large front grille. To this day. many people can still recognize their lines as distinctively Mercedes. even if they were not even born when the model was still in production. The Mercedes-Benz W108 and W109. styled by noted automobile designer Paul Bracq. were built in Stuttgart in what was then West Germany. from 1965 until 1972. Although production ended in 1972. some vehicles were marketed and sold as 1973 model year versions in North America. They were typically late-production vehicles. and some didn’t arrive in North America until 1973. This Beauty was born in June of 1972. and it was titled as a 1973 Model. making it one of the last models rolling of the production line!!!! Mercedes made only 8. 73 280SEL 4. 5 V8’s in period from 05/1971 until 11/1972. and this beauty is one of them!!! Also. 4. 5 V8 was only offered to the North American Market. making it particularly desirable in Europe! About the car: Its Astral Silver (#735G) paint has a beautiful shine and luster. and it makes this German Luxury Sedan look very elegant and timeless!! It was repainted once in 1988 to its original color. and it still shows beautifully today!! There are some small imperfection in the paint mainly due it its age (26 year old paint job!). but nothing that takes away from its beauty!! Chrome is in beautiful condition. complete with healthy luster. and this beautiful sedan is a head turner and conversation piece everywhere it goes. This Mercedes is only a 2 owner car. and it was Florida Vehicle its whole life! Current owner purchased this beauty in 1990. and owned it and cherished it until this day!! Being Florida car its whole life. it is very solid. and its undercarriage is all original and unmolested!! Body is also straight. and all doors. hood. and trunk are operating with ease. with everything lining up as it should. It has been always garaged. pampered and kept away from rain and bad weather. Factory VIN # stamping on the front radiator support is another sign of originality of this car. (please see pictures) There is not a lot of 280SEL 4. 5 V8’s out there in this solid and amazingly kept and preserved condition!! As Mercedes made only a little bit over 8. 00 of 4. 5 V8 SEL’s. there is not a lot of them left period!!!! Add a power sunroof. and floor gearshift option. and number of survivors is even smaller!! -Interior Its original and elegant Dark Red interior is in wonderful condition! MB-Tex seats are in excellent condition. great looking. and they are very supportive and comfortable! This Mercedes comes with power windows. power sunroof. and they are all working as they should! Wood is also in very nice condition as well!!! Original Becker Mexico radio is present and in working condition!!!! Just turn it on. and let it take you through time!!! Just take a look at the pictures. and you will get an idea about the condition of this car. how nicely it is kept. and how beautiful it is. -Engine & Transmission 4. 5 Liter V8 Engine is strong and powerful as ever with only 138. 00 original and documented miles!! All of its maintenance and mileage is documented and there are thousands in documents and receipts. as both owners wanted to make sure that this baby runs just as good as it looks!!! Whatever this car needed. it was always addressed without a wait. or expenses spared! Some of the very recent work includes brand new brakes all around. Front received brand new rotors. and brake pads. where the rear received brand new calipers. discs and brake pads. Comprehensive tune-up was done as well including spark plugs. spark plug wires. cap. rotor. new fuel filter. oil and oil filter. as well as differential service. New Motor mounts were installed as well!! Automatic Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through every gear. This German Yacht handles great at the high speeds. and it is very comfortable. All 4 tires are BRAND NEW. and they make this beauty float on the road!!! Air Condition works as it should. and this car is ready for some fun cruises!!!!
