This is my 280 SE 4.5 that I have brought back to life in under two years of ownership.This car is a daily driver right now because I've been driving it. Most recent work includes a complete brake system sorting, calipers rebuilt and pads installed, stops wonderfully.In my time of ownership the following work has been done:transmission serviced with new fluid and filter,engine oil and filter, new factory plugs installed,new passenger side tie rod with front end alignment,new tires, new bilsteins on four corners rides wonderfully,installed petronix electronic ignition, new battery,rebuilt radiator, new factory color dupont paint job,new redone vinyl interior which includes insulation, carpet, dash and headliner,new front and rear windshield rubber seals installed, new wiper blades,new drivers side front window regulator and new fuel filter.I think the things this car need are minor in my opinion.Interior wood on dash is all there, laminate is cracked, door wood not installed but have all pieces including some replacement pieces, wood bow also for front.AC compressor is connected and does still cool, I charged it this past summer but it does have a leak, fan blows as it should.Heat needs two levers replaced which are missing. Left side of gauge cluster works but odometer and speedo quit working.One power window quit working and one only works from door switch but might just need new switch. Turn signal lever won't stay, you have to hold it. No radio.I have put about 6k miles on it myself and it does ride great. Recently took it on a 600 miles round trip and it averaged 12-13 mpg.I do consider myself an enthusiast and can answer questions about this car via email or call my cell 817-475-4345.Thanks for looking.
