Overview of 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Convertible For Sale by Owner

Classics and vintage vehicles have a certain appeal to them that the sleek modern cars of today cannot match up to. When that classic car is a Mercedes-Benz, that appeal is increased tenfold. We all know the durability and Mercedes-Benz's immaculate engineering of their vehicles has earned them a name at the top. Mercedes-Benz dates back to 1901, and during the 50s, the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was introduced. Its successor is the Mercedes-Benz W113, a two-seat roadster/coupe which was produced from 1963 to 1971. Up for grabs is a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with less than 4000 miles on the rebuilt engine and in excellent condition after over 50 years.

Exterior and Interior

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes bedecked in a regal white paint coat, reportedly the original paint. The roadster looks this good due to the owner reporting the car being garage-kept. The front features distinctive sealed beam bulb headlights, which differentiates North American models from the rest. Nestled between them is a simple grille design with a single bar dominated by the grille-width Mercedes-Benz tri-pointed star logo in chrome. Completing the front fascia is the thin chrome front bumper. The rear features a 2-piece chrome bumper with the "280SL" and tri-pointed star also in chrome. More chrome can be seen around the window, side mirrors, light bezels, etc. It sits on a set of multi-spoke chrome painted wheels with reportedly 3 of 4 original hubcaps. The brown interior is claimed to have undergone a reupholstering. Behind the 3-spoke, wood-finished Mercedes-Benz steering wheel can be seen the new white painted dashboard. The seller has added a Bluetooth-capable modern stereo from Pioneer. The car comes with a soft and hard top and a spare tire. All original manuals are reportedly included in the sale.

Engine

Classic cars inherently tend to have some mechanical issues due to their age but fear not with this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, as the 2.8L inline-6 engine was rebuilt less than 4,000 miles ago, while the 4-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago, as reported by the owner. The suspensions, as well as the brakes, are new, assuring you a comfortable and safe ride.
