RARE 1970 MERCEDES 280 SE COUPE WITH SUNROOF WITH MANUAL 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE BODY OF THIS COUPE IS IN BAD SHAPE, IT SAT UNDER SOME TREES FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. THE FLOORS, FENDER APRONS,HOOD, AND RADIATOR SUPPORT ARE ALL IN A STATE OF EXTENSIVE RUST. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NUMEROUS GOOD PARTS TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THIS CAR. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE COMPLETE. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS ARE COMPLETE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN AMBER LENS ON THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS. THE GRILL IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE SILL PLATES FOR THE ROCKER PANELS ARE ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE. THE SEAT COVERS NEED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THE CORE OF THEM CAN BE RE-USED IF NEEDED. ALL THE BADGING SEEMS TO BE PRESENT ON THE CAR. THE SUNROOF PANEL LOOKS TO BE IN A RESTORABLE CONDITION. ALL OF THE HUBCAPS ARE PRESENT. AS FAR AS THE DASH GOES IT LOOKS TO BE COMPLETE HOWEVER THE ORNATE WOOD TRIM AROUND THE DASH IS PRETTY DETERIORATED BUT MAY BE SAVED WITH SOME PROFESSIONAL WORK. THE GLOVE BOX IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ALL THE KNOBS FOR THE DASH LOOK TO BE PRESENT. THE SHIFTER KNOB AND WINDOW CLUSTER SWITCHES ARE PRESENT. THE GLASS AND GLASS TRIM ARE ALL THERE AND THE VENT WINDOWS ON THE DOORS STILL OPERATE WITH THE KNOBS. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN BE RESTORED IF IT HAD TO. WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE FACTORY JACK IS STILL IN THE TRUNK. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOOKS COMPLETE HOWEVER IT HAS NOT RUN IN SOMETIME AND A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE ENGINE AND COMPONENTS WOULD LIKELY BE NEEDED. AIR BREATHER IS PRESENT BUT HAS SOME RUST HOLES THAT COULD BE REPAIRED. THE ORIGINAL RUNNING GEAR IS PRESENT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS DRIVING THIS CAR DAILY BUT PARKED IT ONE DAY DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS. CLEAR FLORIDA TITLE. WE ALSO HAVE GOTTEN AN IMAGE OF THE BUILD CARD FROM MERCEDES, PAINT CODE IS 717 SO THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT DONOR CAR TO USE TO FIND THOSE HARD TO GET VINTAGE MERCEDES PARTS. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WHERE-IS WITH NO WRITTEN OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. I WILL TRY AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
