Mercedes-Benz 280SL 1971
Description
One Family Ownership, A/C, Hard and Soft Tops<br> <br> Stunning original color combination of Dark Red over Tobacco. Previous owner inherited this 280SL from his father who purchased the car new. All original documents, service receipts, books and manuals included. Extremely well maintained with a pile of service history. Repaint in 2025 due to fading. Everything works as it should. Cold AC, four wheel disc brakes and power steering. Runs and drives flawlessly. No rust - now or ever.<br> <br> The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is the final and most refined year of the iconic W113 "Pagoda" series. Blending sports car performance with luxurious grand touring comfort, it features a timeless slab-sided design, a powerful 2.8-liter inline-6 engine, and a distinctive concave removable hardtop<br> <br> The 1971 model marks the culmination of the W113 generation before it was replaced by the V8-powered R107. It remains an internationally coveted collector's car, highly prized for its reliable drivability, ease of ownership, and unmistakable mid-century aesthetic.<br> <br> This vehicle was issued a North Carolina VIN on the Title due to a clerical error. The actual VIN appears on the car correctly and I am working to get the title updated to remove the NC issued VIN and replace it with the correct VIN.<br> <br>
