Vehicle Description
1969 Mercedes 280 SE
If you've seen the movie The Hangover, you know that certain 1969
Mercedes-Benz 280SE factors prominently into the plot. In fact,
we'd call the car as much of a star in the film as Zach
Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha or a certain
Mike Tyson-owned tiger with an appetite for leather interiors.
What happens to the classic Mercedes-Benz throughout the film is
tragic, given that Mercedes-Benz isn't building any more 280SE
convertibles. A total of five were used in the filming of the
movie, including three original convertibles and two coupes
modified to resemble convertibles.
Plans originally called for the destruction of the two chopped
coupes during the filming, since the cars lacked the structural
reinforcement necessary to make them roadworthy. During the
confusion involved with shooting the movie, a real convertible was
inadvertently destroyed alongside a modified coupe.
Post shoot, the two remaining convertibles were auctioned off, with
the proceeds going to charity. Now is your chance to own a piece of
Movie History. The beauty car as it was referred to is now
available.
