Vehicle Description
This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL sports a sleek Gray Blue Metallic
finish that captures the essence of 1960s European luxury. The
paint, while not original, showcases the car's timeless lines and
elegant proportions. European-style headlights add a touch of
continental flair, while the folding blue cloth soft top and
matching removable hard top provide versatility for all weather
conditions. The 14-inch wheels with hubcaps maintain the
period-correct look, wrapped in 185HR14 90H tires that provide a
solid connection to the road. Chrome accents around the car gleam
against the metallic paint, emphasizing the 280SL's refined design
language.
Inside, the beige leather bucket seats offer both comfort and
style, complemented by a matching interior that appears correct and
in excellent condition. The floor-mounted shifter and center
console add a sporty touch to the luxurious cabin. An aftermarket
air conditioning system has been seamlessly integrated, providing
modern comfort without compromising the vintage aesthetic. The
Becker Europa radio remains in place, preserving the authentic feel
of the era. Coco-style floor mats add a touch of period-correct
luxury, while the rear parcel area features a sideways jump seat, a
charming detail that speaks to the car's versatility.
Powering this classic roadster is a 2.8-liter inline-six engine,
paired with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission. The
combination offers a engaging driving experience, allowing full
control over the car's performance. Power disc brakes at all four
corners provide confident stopping power, while the coil spring
suspension with shocks and a sway bar up front ensures a balanced
ride. The exhaust system produces a refined note befitting a luxury
sports car and a partial tool kit is included, adding to the car's
authenticity and practicality for the next enthusiast owner.
