1970 Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 Runs and drives great. Beautiful car with cold A/C! 50+ Photos Below The last Mercedes-Benz cars virtually hand crafted at the Sindelfingen coachworks were the stylish W111 Coupes and Cabriolets, originally launched in 1961 as the 220SE with six-cylinder power lifted from the contemporary saloon range. By the late 1960s, demand for a V8 from the American market saw the introduction of the 280SE 3.5 in August 1969, employing the new M116 engine with five bearing crankshaft, Bosch electronic fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft per bank. This exceptionally refined and modern engine developed a healthy 200bhp at 5800rpm and was usually found mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, although a small number of manual gearbox cars were built. As the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz range, the 280SE 3.5 Coupe and Cabriolet were given slightly revised styling to go with the new engines, with a lower and wider version of the famous grille plus stacked headlamps. Inside the beautifully appointed cabin such niceties as power windows, air conditioning and four-speaker stereo were all fitted as standard. With production only lasting until 1971, the 280SE 3.5 Coupe is a rare car indeed. Today, the 280SE 3.5 remains the most desirable variant of the collectable W111 range and can still be enjoyed on a daily basis, such was the level of technology and engineering found on these cars. Why buy this MBZ 280SE 3.5? If you're looking for a nice solid 280SE coupe to drive and possibly restore your search is over. This particular blue/black leather car is as good a representation of a driver as you will find. The fact that it survived the times without being hacked and cheaply repaired is apparent in your first drive in this particular car. It's a tight driving car exempt of creeks and rattles you commonly find in the average 40 year old car. The engine fires up on the first crank, idles smoothly and pulls stong all the way to it's upper reving limits. The transmission shifts as it should in all it's gears. The power accessories operate including the COLD Air Conditioning. Cosmetically, the wood trim has been refinished, top of engine compartment detailed, new hood liner, new trunk liner, new Behr style AC knobs and colors and much more. It is an older quality repaint in the original color. There are no major dings or scraches and the paint still has good shine but, it's not show quality. Prime examples like this are climbing fast in value. Please call me with any specific questions you may have.
