Vehicle Description
1969 Mercedes-Benz 280sl: One owner since new; 100% original metal;
excellent body gaps; always garaged; beautiful condition. Sold new
in Hollywood, California, to a young bio-chemist who kept it as a
cherished possession her entire life. She stopped driving it around
1993 but kept it up on blocks in perfect-climate conditions inside
her garage, near Lafayette CA. The car was featured in an article
in the San Jose Mercury News under the heading: "New Home May Be
Sought For '69 Mercedes in Contra Costa":

Please see the video interview with the fascinating 88-year-old PhD
original owner in the description below. We recently replaced the
fuel tank new and had the mechanical fuel injection pump
professionally rebuilt, the engine runs excellent. Everything
included is pictured. Please study the pictures carefully rather
than requesting descriptions. Please complete any inspections or
ask any questions prior to bidding or committing to buy the car.
Thanks for the interest!
