Restored 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda finished in one of the
very best color combinations. Attractively presented in correct
Signal Red over black interior, this is a nicely restored example
inside and out. Body is straight with good gaps and no known rust.
Both tops included in good condition. Nice bumpers, trim, chrome,
grille, lenses and glass. Correct notches on fenders behind
headlight bezels. Hood, hard top, soft top lid and body all have
matching stamps and are original to this car. Michelin all-season
tires on original steel wheels with factory covers.
The interior presents nicely with carpet, door panels, dash,
steering wheel, wood trim and leather seat upholstery all in good
condition. Gauges, lights, indicators, Becker Europa stereo and
climate control (including A/C) are all working properly. Here is a
link to a video test drive:
The W113 chassis, designed by Paul Bracq, was introduced in 1963
with the 230SL - by 1968 the engine displacement had grown to 2.8
liters which resulted in appreciably better performance. Most of
the US-market cars were supplied with a four-speed automatic, and
many were optioned with air conditioning. This Pagoda is nicely
detailed under the hood. It also runs and drives quite well and the
chassis feels "put together" like a well-maintained example should.
Spare, jack, tools, reproduction owner's manual and service records
dating to the 1980s are included with the sale.
This Mercedes Benz 280 SL is exempt from California smog
