Replacing the iconic Mercedes-Benz 190SL and 300 SL is no easy feat; the German legends stole hearts while driving by on the motorway and powering through racetracks. What came after the iconic pair was the equally impressive Mercedes-Benz Pagoda, with a unique design and as the golden standard of German engineering driving off the dealership floors in those days was nothing but smiles. This well-preserved 1970 Mercedes- Benz 280SL Pagoda is present today in all its glory, with a reported 59,050 miles on the clock; this low mileage example is a near-factory example and yours to enjoy.
Exterior and Interior
This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda isn't just a low mileage example but one that's been preserved exceptionally well over its lifetime; all this shows the moment you glance at the lovely white exterior. The body is in excellent condition, with original features such as the fishbowl headlights and iconic pagoda design cues all in great shape; even the chrome roof guards are in place, and in excellent condition to boot. The lovely original Mercedes-Benz hubcaps compete hard to steal attention too, and there’s reportedly a set of fresh whitewall tires for originality and safe running. While modern-day performance and practicality appeal to many modern buyers, you are lost in the pale colors and tech to keep you distracted. This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda distracts you in the most fascinating way possible. The olive green interior boasts leather seats and a lot of analog equipment to throw it back to the good old days; what tops this off is the current owner reporting that the car's interior is all original. Sit back and relax, and you are treated to the original AM/FM radio, and analog VDO clock serving as nice conversation pieces when driving about.
Engine
In terms of powertrain options, this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda sports the biggest powertrain on offer with the range. Under the hood of this German beauty is the legendary M130 (2.8L) inline six engines. The well-engineered engine provides practical classic car ownership that boasts a smooth drive feel. This car wants you to kick back and relax as you drive, and that's where the four-speed automatic transmission sends its power gently to the rear wheels, and power steering system comes in handy.
