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.

We've come a very long way since the 1960s, and so has the Mercedes Benz SL lineup. The modern Mercedes SL has air-conditioned seats, radar-guided cruise control, and a top speed of a couple of hundred miles an hour — all the stuff you need. But in terms of style, it's hard to beat the classic designs, such as our featured car. If you’re a classic car lover, you might look at everybody else going around in their air-conditioned euro boxes and just feel better off with a rolling piece of art that whispers stories of the past. For you, this 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL Convertible from Virginia will suit you perfectly. It is reportedly imported from Europe and has 108,350 miles on it.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is renowned for being one of the finest grand tourers that you can buy. A grand tourer is a car that’s meant to offer effortless long-distance cruising abilities, with a healthy dose of performance and plenty of luxury. Clearly aimed at the well-off, these cars are status symbols and icons of success, too. Take the R107 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class as a prime example. You’ve probably seen this model in countless movies and sitcoms from the Seventies and Eighties. Hollywood’s love affair with the R107 is well-known, with many stars of the period choosing to buy and drive one as well. Of course, the R107 was well-received in its home country of Germany too. This is one such example: a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL that’s reportedly been imported from Germany. The car is said to have 95,000 miles on the clock and a recent oil change, plus some mechanical refreshments.
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.
Every once in a blue moon, Mercedes-AMG drops a powerhouse and calls it a Black Series. Rooted in motorsports and built in limited numbers, these models showcase the pinnacle of performance and engineering, bringing race car technology to the road. Today we have one of the best examples, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Derived from its DTM (German Touring Car Championship) counterpart, this CLK63 Black Series is instantly recognizable thanks to its flamboyant, yet functional muscular body. The CLK63 AMG was even used as the official safety car in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2007. Only a mere 500 examples were reportedly produced with over 300 models shipped here into the States. Breathing life through its massive 6.2-liter M156 V8 producing up to 500 horsepower, this German beast was and is still loved by many. This particular grey model we have today has hit 35,000 miles on the odometer with servicing kept up to date as reported. With 2 heavy duty battery remote keys with a panic button, this 1 of 1 Magno Alanite Grey CLK63 AMG Black Series is for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
The legendary Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is reportedly the first ever AMG-Mercedes to be designed from the ground up. Featuring revised front suspension that was shared with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, the C63 AMG was known to have the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes automobile at the time. Boasting a monstrous naturally aspirated 6.3-liter Mercedes-Benz M156 engine, this German beast came out of the factory reportedly producing 451 horsepower with performance packages taking it up to 507. However, this blacked out 2013 model we have here is capable of much more. Equipped with a Gintani Supercharger and Gintani Stage 2 tune, this power figure is expected to be quite a bit of a punch over the factory rated power. This C63 AMG is a force to be reckoned with on the roads. This 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has received consistent maintenance along with a recent service having clocked a total of 52,000 miles on the odometer and is now looking for its new owner in Los Angeles, California.
