This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL retains its factory Pagoda hardtop and is finished in Light Ivory over Cognac MB-Tex.

Power comes from a 2.8L inline-six backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, and the car is equipped with a Kuhlmeister air conditioner. A rebuilt transmission and torque converter were installed in 1999, and a new transmission shifter guard and nylon/plastic shift bushings were fitted by the previous owner.

The original bumper is still available and will be included. The original wheels are mounted with new tires that have less than 1,000 miles on them.
