Background Story of this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

Current owner reports previous owner was Dr Young who had bought the car for his daughter. He was Dr Feelgood to Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings in the late 70's and went to prison over it. Basically, he felt guilty and she graduated from law school and bought it for her in 1984. One family & current owner (post death).

Overview of 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 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.

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE53 AMG

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$56,995

Formerly called the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, the GLE represents the midsize sport utility offering from Mercedes-Benz, and has done so since 1997. Then, it was called the ML-Class and rode on a traditional, body on frame configuration. However, since 2005 and the second generation, a unibody construction was adopted, and the M-Class became more road-oriented. The GLE name came in 2015 when the third generation was facelifted, and basically alludes to the model being the SUV equivalent of an E-Class. Today, what we have is a fourth-generation example from the house of Mercedes-AMG. This 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 has traveled just over 27,000 miles and comes with a twin-turbo straight six under the hood. It’s also got 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the usual Mercedes-Benz refinements to enjoy, in its quest to be your next family vehicle. If you’d like to answer its call, let us know.

PENDING SALE
$34,997

With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!

$82,000

Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
