Vehicle Description
1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster finished in Red with Black
interior. Powered by a 2778cc straight 6 engine producing
180hp/177lb-ft of torque and backed by a 4-speed transmission.
Mercedes-Benz succeeded in creating a reliable and comfortable car
that would stand the test of time and become a desirable collector.
It has a removable hardtop, four-wheel disc brakes, radio, and
plush leather seats. The overall build quality and reliability that
comes from the 280SL is outstanding.The Mercedes-Benz 280sl (model
W113) is a two-seat roadster/coupe, introduced in 1968, and
produced from 1968 through 1971. It replaced the 250 SL. Of the
23,885 W113 280 SLs produced, more than half were sold in the
US.The bonnet, trunk lid, door skins and tonneau cover were made of
aluminum to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide
chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes,
and radial tires gave the 280SL superb handling for its time. The
styling of the front, with its characteristic upright headlights
and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star
in the nose panel, paid homage to the then already legendary 300 SL
roadster.For more information on this fabulous 1968 280SL, or any
