For Sale: 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has been with the same owner since 1971 - a remarkable 52-year relationship that speaks volumes about its quality. The Arabian Grey exterior radiates German engineering excellence, amplified by subtle red pinstriping. The removable hardtop matches the body color while a blue convertible top offers open-air options. Rolling on 14-inch Mercedes wheels wrapped in 185/75R14 tires, this SL displays its authentic Mercedes-Benz styling from every angle.

The brown leather interior exemplifies Mercedes' dedication to luxury. The bucket seats offer excellent support, while the floor-mounted shifter and center console create an engaging cockpit layout. Power steering adds to the refined driving experience, and the Becker radio provides entertainment. The leather upholstery, matched with quality carpeting and trim, delivers classic Mercedes sophistication.

The 2.8L inline-six engine pairs with a 4-speed automatic transmission, creating an expertly engineered powertrain. The dual-to-single exhaust system produces a refined note. Four-wheel power disc brakes provide strong stopping capability. Regular maintenance documented since the 1970s demonstrates this SL's meticulous care throughout its life.
