1970 MERCEDES 280S- 6 CYL, AUTOMATIC. ALL ORIGINAL WITH 1 REPAINT IN EARLY 90'S. FACTORY A/C, JVC AMFM CASSETTE BUT HAS ORIGINAL BECKER AM-FM-SW IN TRUNK. WE BOUGHT CAR IN JULY OF 1997. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. CAR CAME FROM A LADY IN BONITA CALIF AFTER HER HUSBAND DIED. WE DROVE THE CAR FROM SAN DIEGO AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. WE HAVE DRIVEN IT MAYBE 300 MILES IN 13 YEARS. CAR STARTS AND RUNS PERFECT. I TOOK IT TO A MERCEDES SHOP HERE IN PALM SPRINGS FOR A COMPLETE TUNE-UP, OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AND NEW FUEL PUMP IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. WHILE IN SHOP IT WAS KEYED ON SIDE. ( SEE PICTURE ). IT ALSO HAS A BUBBLE UNDER THE CLEAR COAT ON LEFT FRONT FENDER ( SEE PICTURE ). OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR IS GREAT. FRONT GRILL AND OTHER CHROME PIECES ARE ALSO GREAT. INTERIOR SHOWS NO WEAR AND HAS NO RIPS OR CUTS. THERE IS 1 CRACK ON THE DASH AT THE INSTRUMENT POD. I ALSO HAVE A RECEIPT FOR NEW TIRES AND BRAKES ON 6-01-92. THE CAR HAD 23,898 MILES AT THAT TIME. THE CAR SHOWS 31,360 MILES NOW. THAT IS WHY I THINK THE MILES ARE ORIGINAL. I TRIED TO FIND OUT AT DMV BUT THEY HAVE NO MILEAGE RECORD FOR IT. FOR THE LACK OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR IT JUST MIGHT BE ORIGINAL BUT WHO KNOWS. 31,360 OR 131,360 IT IS STILL LOW MILEAGE. THE A/C NEEDED CHARGED WHEN WE BOUGHT IT SO HAD IT CHARGED BEFORE WE BROUGHT IT HOME. IT STAYED COLD FOR ABOUT A YEAR. SO IT PROBABLY HAS A SMALL LEAK SOMEWHERE. THATS ABOUT ALL I CAN THINK OF TO SAY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. THE REASON WE ARE SELLING IT IS BECAUSE I AM HAVING MY '71 383 CUDA RESTORED AND I DESPERATLY NEED THE GARAGE SPACE. THE CUDA HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND IT SHOULD BE READY AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR CONTACT ME ON MY E-BAY ACCOUNT. pumperroy THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAR, ROY
