Vehicle Detail

1973 Mercedes 280 SE 4.5 It was originally sold in the Bronx NY. The original owner told me she sold the car back to the dealer she bought it from. At some time in the early 1990s the car was in FL I bought the car in 1997 in Syracuse NY. from the person who bought it in FL. The odometer currently shows 38097 miles. There is a sticker in the door showing that it was replaced at 48000 miles. The car has over 86000 miles but true mileage is unknown since I was not the owner at the time it was replaced. I have put about 18000 miles on the car since 1997. During that time the car was in storage from 1999 until about 2007 while I was in the USAF. The car was driven about every 2 years during its storage when I came home on leave. Since 2007 I have driven the car several times a week during nice weather. Currently the car is in my heated garage for the winter in Pa. The car has most of its original paint. The drivers side and trunk lid were painted before I bought the car possibly because if a scrape on the drivers side. I do not see any evidence that any body parts were replaced. Gaps are all good throughout the car. The under side of the car has its original factory undercoating with no rust or rot. There is one small paint bubble on the drives rear door that was there when I bought the car and it has not changed. The interior has real leather and the seats were replaced with leather from GAHH a few years ago for $4000. The door panels were not replaced since they are in excellent condition. The drivers side door panel has some wear above the armrest. The carpet is original and I had mats made to protect the original that look like the original carpet. The heal pad on the drivers carpet was remade to look like the original. The dash and steering wheel have no cracks. The Becker radio works well. The power windows all work. The wood trim is excellent throughout. Vacuum locks work. The engine runs and drives well. On cold start you have to crank for a few seconds but it always starts. Warm starts is always fast. I put a new MB radiator in the car a while back. Oil is changed annually. I replaced the master cylinder last summer and the brake pads. AC was Ice cold with R12 until it leaked out last year. The exhaust is new MB parts from the middle of the car back. I can here an exhaust leak near the front that I have not addressed yet. Tires are nearly new from 2012 with maybe 2000 miles on them. If you would like to see the car send me a message and I will set up a time with you. Make serious offers. No scams please. Please include a phone number with any offer so I know you are serious.
