All Original with both Soft Top and Removable Hardtop
This 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL Roadster is a two-owner classic that
was originally purchased in Oklahoma. The first owner moved to
California over 37 years ago. After 15 years of storage the current
owner took possession and had it professionally serviced at great
expense in 2016. He informs us that this beautiful roadster hasn't
seen any changes over the years- it's been kept completely stock
from the gorgeous body lines to the drivetrain to the interior and
the factory wheels. Additionally, the chrome and metalwork is near
flawless and this is easily the nicest survivor we've come across
in years. Immaculate would be a word we'd use to describe this
classic sports car's condition. The convertible top looks to be
original and in nearly unused or never used excellent
condition.
A closer inspection of this 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL Roadster
reveals an incredible attention to detail over the years- the
interior seating is virtually flawless. The original factory dash
pad was replaced with a MBZ factory replacement. The woodwork was
professionally redone at the same time. The original factory
instrument cluster is exceptional, as is the carpeting, the factory
gear shifter and the door panels.The custom rare Nardi wood
grained, polished aluminum steering wheel looks great. The current
owner replaced the dash pad and wood trim due to natural aging over
the years. There is just the right amount of patina throughout to
make this a truly exceptional vehicle and it must be seen in person
to truly appreciate. Rarely do examples of this caliber fall
beneath the $100k range. This is not a "perfect" trailer queen. It
is a great original car, showing some normal patina. Fully
restored, low mileage Pagoda's are currently fetching $200.000.-
$250,000. which makes this gorgeous 280SL an outstanding value with
great investment potential.
Additionally, the engine compartment of this 1970 Mercedes Benz
280SL Roadster shows minimal signs of wear to what appears to the
be the original strong running factory drivetrain with almost all
the original accessories. The Michelin Radial Whitewall XH tires
are in great condition. This one is a true survivor in every sense
of the word and it drives beautifully on the open road and truly
loves the curves. Good compression, great handling, just a few
minor imperfections...it really has it all.
An Absolute Steal at the Current Asking Price
Overall, this original 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL 2 Door Roadster is
a fantastic sought-after classic that would be the pinnacle in any
serious collection. It would be near impossible to find a more
original, better kept example at the current asking price, so don't
wait long before you come see this dream ride. For more information
