Known among collectors for its distinctive safety cell design that
earned the "Pagoda" nickname, this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda
Convertible wears green paint that flows across its elegant
European lines. The removable hardtop in matching green provides
year-round versatility while the brown canvas soft top offers
open-air motoring when desired. Chrome trim traces the body sides
with subtle patina, while 14" factory hub caps support 185/75R14
thin whitewall tires. 280SL badging identifies this as the final
evolution of Mercedes' legendary roadster series.
Tan vinyl bucket seats with floor shift create a driver-focused
environment that balances comfort with sporting intent. The tan
interior extends across door panels and dash, while carpet
underfoot maintains the cohesive color scheme. An AM/FM radio
provides entertainment, and the factory dash clock still keeps time
after five decades. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable
during warmer drives, complemented by power steering for effortless
handling. The Nardi steering wheel adds an upgraded touch to the
cockpit.
The 2.8-liter inline-6 engine delivers smooth power through a
4-speed automatic transmission, creating a refined driving
combination that made these cars famous. Fuel injection feeds the
motor while a single exhaust with chrome tip handles spent gases.
Power disc brakes at all four corners provide stopping capability,
supported by coil spring and shock suspension front and rear. The
rear incorporates trailing arms for improved handling dynamics
typical of German engineering.
