1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda For Sale - Beautifully Restored,
Hard Top, Incredible Documentation LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Launched at the Geneva Motor
Show in March 1963, the 230SL - or W113 as the model range was
internally labeled at Mercedes-Benz - was really a completely new
car through and through. A truly modern car for its time and
constructed to the high level of craftsmanship expected from a
Mercedes-Benz product, the model quickly became a very popular
sporty two-seater among the elite. Mercedes-Benz would call the
W113 "a Grand Tourer in the traditional sense" and "a unique
combination of sports car performance and saloon car comfort." Many
of the design and technical features were industry firsts,
including the hardtop designed to withstand the cars weight for
safety reasons, and with a distinct design from where the W113
series got the nickname 'Pagoda'. After the 230SL, next came the
250SL, which had about 200-cc more capacity than its predecessor;
after that, both were replaced by the ultimate evolution, the
280SL, which was introduced in 1967. The enlarged 2.8- liter
six-cylinder SOHC now produced 170 horsepower, and the car was
outfitted with disc brakes at all four corners. This 280sl offered
here for sale is factory finished in a spectacular color
combination, the classically rich Light Ivory over Dark Green
interior. Delivered new to its original owner a Doctor in
Philadelphia by the Mercedes-Benz Dealer Lancaster County Motors in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Equipped with an automatic transmission,
Am/Fm radio, tinted glass, power steering, leather upholstery and
comes with the removable "Pagoda" hardtop. After staying with its
original owner for 14 years, it would trade hands two more times
before being purchased by an enthusiast that wanted to restore it
back to how it left the showroom. With the help of a Mercedes-Benz
specialist, the driveline was removed and completely gone through,
including detailed components with correct factory finishes. The
interior was completely re-trimmed in its correct Dark Green
leather including new carpet, seat covers, soft top and radio
rebuilt with added Bluetooth. The exterior was repainted in the
correct Light Ivory paint and has recently been ceramic coated to
protect its luster for years to come. Additionally, the factory
hardtop was repainted and trimmed with a brand-new headliner. The
wheels and hubcaps have been refinished and wrapped in new correct
white wall Michelin tires. This 280 SL comes with an impressive
documentation file, which includes maintenance and service history,
build sheet, ownership history, owner's card, owner's manuals and
more restoration documentation. The classic 'Pagoda' models are
becoming increasingly collectible, featuring exceptional build
quality and low maintenance, easy access to spare parts and all
around just a great collectors car. Additional Details: 1969
