For Sale: 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

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.
