Like most Mercedes-Benz cars, the timeless SL series is known for retaining its value as soon as it rolled off the showroom floor. In contrast to the mass production of most cars during its era, the number of SLs manufactured was very small. Only 23,742 units were built from 1968 through 1971, with roughly half of this figure sold in the United States, making this 280SL a rare collectible. It famously used the same double A-frame suspension proven years ago on the legendary 300 SL. This Mercedes-Benz 280SL has been kept by the second owner from 1973 to the present and is reported to have been serviced on time throughout that period. With just 119,000 miles on the clock, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL awaits your ownership in Washington.
Exterior and Interior
Dressed in a resplendent red coat of paint that has been newly applied, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL's exterior exudes timeless elegance. The hood, door skins, and trunk lid are all made of aluminum to reduce weight, deriving its name SL from “Sehr Licht” (very light in German). Chrome accents adorn its silhouette, from the bumpers and door handles to the side mirrors and grille, accentuating the classic Mercedes-Benz SL lines. The prominent three-pointed star in its grill pays homage to the iconic 300SL too. The optional removable hardtop’s distinctive slightly concave roof, reminiscent of a pagoda, is included with a new black soft top to replace it. Step inside into the past of luxurious interiors, as this 280SL has been flawlessly restored to pristine condition. The black cabin with a white headliner harmoniously blends with the wooden trim, extending from the top of the dash to the console tray. Mercedes-Benz also included a tachometer and three-point seat belts, which were offered as standard.
Engine
Powering the 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is its original 2.8L straight-six engine, a marvel of engineering boasting Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft. Paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission, this Mercedes-Benz 280SL produced 160 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque when new, making it a treat to take on the twisty mountain roads. Four-wheel power disc brakes were also offered as standard in 1968 ensuring this classic luxury sports car confident stopping power.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL represented the final and most refined evolution of the legendary W113 “Pagoda” series, combining elegant styling with dependable engineering and grand touring comfort. Today, the W113 remains one of the marque’s most sought-after classics thanks to its timeless design and robust mechanicals. This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL has traveled just 41,794 miles and is finished in Pine Green over a Black interior, creating a sophisticated color combination that suits the car’s graceful lines. Equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission, Frigiking air conditioning, and tasteful period accessories, this Pagoda offers a rewarding analog driving experience while remaining equally at home on weekend tours or at concours events.
Mercedes-Benz’s R107-generation SL is one of the longest-running and most beloved roadster platforms in automotive history, blending timeless styling, refined engineering, and open-top grand touring capability. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL shows 78,616 miles and presents as a well-kept example finished in Signal Red over a Palomino interior. Powered by the smooth M110 inline-six engine and equipped with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop, this SL offers year-round versatility. Additional highlights include reupholstered seating surfaces, refreshed carpeting, wood interior trim, and the desirable Becker Grand Prix radio, making this classic Mercedes an appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250 C 2.8 is a classic W114 coupe with the elegant pillarless profile that makes these cars so distinctive today. Showing approximately 90,892 miles, it pairs traditional Mercedes-Benz styling with a 2.8L naturally aspirated inline-six, a 4-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Finished in white over a red MB-Tex/leather interior, this example has the kind of period-correct character enthusiasts look for, with touches such as woodgrain dashboard trim, a Becker Europa radio, and sheepskin seat covers adding to the vintage European grand-touring atmosphere.
This 2012 Mercedes-Benz G 550 4MATIC is the kind of G-Class enthusiasts tend to gravitate toward: old-school W463 character, a naturally aspirated V8, permanent all-wheel drive, and a specification that feels special without changing what makes the G-Wagen so iconic. Showing approximately 69,673 miles, this example is finished in designo Night Black Magno over designo Black leather, giving it a stealthy factory appearance that is especially well suited to the squared-off body. Add in the Seat Comfort Package, Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seating, stainless exterior trim, and a factory sport exhaust, and this is a G 550 that blends serious presence with the kind of analog luxury SUV character that later generations moved away from.
Few SUVs blend unmistakable presence, serious performance, and luxury quite like the Mercedes-AMG G 63, and this 2024 example takes that formula even further with an especially aggressive factory specification. Showing approximately 10,363 miles, it is finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno over Classic Red/Black Exclusive Nappa leather, creating a dramatic contrast inside and out. Its equipment list is equally notable, including the AMG Performance Package, Exclusive Interior Package Plus, Night Package Magno, AMG Carbon Fiber Trim, MANUFAKTUR Logo Package, and 22-inch AMG matte black cross-spoke forged wheels. This is a G 63 configured to emphasize both AMG performance character and the highly distinctive design details that make the model so desirable.
