This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is finished in metallic green with a
color-matched hard top and a black soft top over beige leather and
was delivered new through Velie Imports of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota on June 22, 1971. According to the selling dealer, the
third owner in New York acquired it in August 1987 showing 36k
miles. The seller later sourced this car for the current owner in
December 2011 showing 67,400 miles, and it now has just over 68,500
indicated miles. Power comes from a 2.8-liter inline-six paired
with a four-speed manual gearbox. The seller reportedly performed
more than $23k in work to the car in 2011, including replacing the
brakes, fluids, shocks, water pump, belts, carpeting, soft top, and
more as described below. This W113 SL is now offered on dealer
consignment in North Salem, New York with factory data cards and
