This 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL.is a German import, shipped here in 1981. All original, 60,486 miles. Finished in MB champagne metallic paint, and dark brown leather interior with a plaid cloth middle. Has the classic aftermarket BBS wheels. The car has the paint matching hardtop and a black soft top underneath. Very few blemishes are noted on this car, being, the fuel gauge does not work, 1-2 paint spots most likely needing a respray, and the fuel accumulator is going to need to be replaced soon, these things will make it 100%. It just had Valve cover gaskets replaced, valve adjustment, new air filter, new spark plugs, timing done, injectors tested and cleaned, coolant flushed replaced and lines bled, and there is a new fuel pump. This car runs great, and 100% turns some heads.
The lines that you see on this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL are a timeless design that still turns heads in 2022 – and for all the right reasons. Presented in a tan paintwork with matching hardtop, this SL exudes a sense of class. While the original wheels it came with are nice, the set of BBS wheels that this example wears lends it some distinctiveness. Up front, you find the quad headlamps that were a North American requirement, and at the rear, a discrete black wrap-around trunk lid spoiler once again adds some individuality. Should you desire to leave the removable hardtop at home and cruise around, a sudden shower of rain can be thwarted by raising the black convertible soft top. It's hard to say by eyeballing it that the interior on this car is original as it looks so well kept over the past 42 years, but that’s what it is. The seats, steering wheel, and clear set of gauges with the signature Mercedes-Benz font all look like they’ve stood the test of time and emerged victorious with only a few signs to show. A further time capsule delight is the Becker Grand Prix which is a refreshing departure from the touchscreens and bright color customizable lights of current era vehicles.
North America did not typically receive the 280SL, with the range for this market starting from the 350SL and going on to the 560SL. Europe did however, and as stated, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a German import that tucks a 2.8L in-line six with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection beneath the hood. The engine was rated to push out 182hp and 175lb-ft when new which were very respectable figures for 1980, and still ample for cruising duties to this day. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission. This car has reportedly received a new gas tank, fuel lines, thermostat and spark plugs, and a recent oil change is said to have been undertaken too.
