1978 Mercedes-Benz 280E Direct German Import This is a rare find! No Reserve While most Mercedes are imported through regular channels, this was actually purchased by its original German owners in Germany and brought with them when they moved to the states years ago. It is what's considered a "grey market" vehicle. It is 100% German, right down to all the instrumentation and owner's manuals. This is a prime candidate for a total restoration project as a beautiful base car to start with. While it does run and drive, it is advisable to trailer it to its new home.
