Up for sale, a very nice Mercedes 280SL with removable hardtop (matching number). Exterior paint color is white and the interior is dark blue. The soft-top is worn and will need to be replaced. All the bows are execellent and working. I removed all the trim, chrome, windshield, windows, carpet, seats, seat belts, etc. in preparation for complete restoration. I ordered new floorpans for the driver side and the trunk. The originals have rust and will need to be replaced. The carpet will need to be replaced also. The windshield is excellent and simply needs new gasket and professionally installed. All the tires are excellent and rated for high speed. All the chrome is perfect and the trim is complete. One of the window handles is missing, readily available. I have sanded to bare metal, and primed with self-etching sandable primer gray. Winning bidder will need to remove the loosly installed trim/chrome and wet sand the primer, prime again, sand again and final paint with white. The engine runs great and the manual transmission shifts like new. I would trust driving this car anywhere, anytime. The removable hard-top is excellent condition and all the latches/handles work great. The trunk lid seal is great and needs to be installed after painting. All the wheel covers are included and simply need paint. I painted one of them and it turned out great. All the chrome is present and mostly installed. I purchased several assortments of stainless steel screws for installing trim. Don't let this fine automobile get away. Bid as much as you can afford. This car is rare and a great find. A lot of fun to drive and very dependable. Seats are comfortable leather, and nice shape. Some cracking and splitting of the leather seats. Radio works. I have the gearshift knob, but it is not in the pictures. I have many more pictures on Photobucket and the link is below. New Battery included with car. Good luck bidding. http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g285/barryb5/1968%20Mercedes%20280SL/On Jan-07-13 at 17:15:19 PST, seller added the following information: Note: I am also offering for sale in another auction in the near future a very nice 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider...nice running car, no rust, excellent condition... a few pictures are in the photobucket albums, take a look.
