1980 Mercedes Benz 280SLC 4 Speed European ModelVIN: 10702210007632Very rare factory 4 speed manual transmission Rare color of blue green, also known as petrol (color code 877H)88,000 milesClean titleNo cracks on the dashNo corrosive rust or rotOriginal blaupunkt radioOriginal Mercedes mud flapsSunroof delete Hand crank windows No passenger side mirror European lights and bumpersRare factory badge delete option (code 260), however a 280SLC badge is currently on the car A/CSide window louvers in excellent condition Wood grain is in excellent condition No tears in the seats Brand new original spare tire never used Located in Los Angeles, CAThis is a very unique SLC due to the fact it has the lightweight and very peppy M110 engine (inline 6 cylinder with a dual overhead cam) mated to a factory 4 speed getrag transmission. This combo makes this car light and nimble allowing for great acceleration and even better handling. After driving many 107s (300SL, 280SL 4 and 5 speeds, 500SL, 560SL, 380SL, 350SLC 4 speed, 350SL 4 speed, 380SLC, and a 450SLC) the 280SLC 4 speed is hands down the best 107 for a very enjoyable driving experience. Being a coupe, this chassis has less flex and more rigidity while driving which enhances handling and minimizes noise. The roadster version with the removable hard top is prone to rattling and water/air leaking in. Further more, this example is finished in the rare color of petrol (blue green) which is near impossible to come across in a 280SLC 4 speed. Overall this car is very original with weight saving options such as a sunroof delete (also lowers the center of gravity), manual windows, and no passenger side mirror. This gives the driver a very raw driving experience. This SLC recently got a new fuel pump and hoses and is ready to be driven daily or enjoyed cruising to cars and coffee on Saturdays. It doesn't leak or smoke and has a very strong engine. The idle is very stable at around 900 RPM and starts right up every time. The car is being sold ASIS, a PPI is encouraged. International buyers are welcomed. Feel free to email me with any questions. Please serious buyers only.
