Hello, you are viewing my NO RESERVE, 1979, 280sl Mercedes (European model) with 82,088 miles. Euro Bumpers and Euro lights, 2.8 inline six, and a rear seat! This car has been garaged most of its life and it shows! Originally a southern car (no rust or salt exposure).This Mercedes is in WONDERFUL, very original condition, that is well maintained. Paint (factory color is a metallic medium red) is excellent with a great shine (there are a couple of chips and dings(nothing major). I do not see any visible rust (very straight and solid).Very clean underside with solid floors. The interior is in excellent condition. The leather seats are in great/original condition, no rips or tears just some leather dye fading (nice patina). Dash is great, no cracks. The wood, door panels, headliner,carpet and sun-visors are also in great original condition.. Mechanically the car is EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Runs (2.8 inline Euro six cylinder), drives and shifts perfect (automatic transmission). No smoke, idles smooth and starts fast every time. The only thing that does not work at times is the radio. I personally think that the euro 2.8 liter engine is one of the best, and most fun high revving, long lasting motors that MB has produced(I also own a euro 5.0 and a 3.5 v8 that I am comparing it to) Everything works as it should. The heat blows hot and the air conditioner blows cool. Comes with two sets of wheels, the wire wheels that are currently on the car and a set of bundt wheels that will come withe the car, the tires are matching and are in average condition on both sets. This MB drives very smooth and straight at a 100mph. I would not hesitate to drive this car on a 2000 mile road trip. The softtop and hardtop is in great condition. This 280sl is in above average condition that is very dependable and well maintained. The car is sold in “As Is Condition”. I do welcome and encourage presale inspections. Also includes is the spare tire and owners manual. If you have questions, please send me your # and I will give you a call, or you can call me at 314 649-7666. Please bid if you are serious and have available funds to complete this transaction.The car is located in a suburb of Saint Louis MissouriThank you.
