Overview of 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL For Sale by Owner

The R107 era from Mercedes-Benz’s popular SL-Class lineup is a popular classic for many. It’s perfect as your first introduction to classic cars, as well as a fine addition for seasoned collectors to make to their collections. During the model’s 18-year production run, Mercedes-Benz continually updated and enhanced it. The car also gained a formidable reputation for its luxury and refined long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes to you from Seattle, and has driven over 185,000 miles so far. However, you can see by the condition of the car that these machines were built to travel. With the requisite maintenance performed in a timely manner, there’s no reason why this car couldn’t outlive its owner!

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a sleek coat of red paint, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has got exclusive European-style flush bumpers, as well as the European-style larger headlamps that weren’t typically seen on North American market cars. That gives this SL a distinctive look when driving down our roads, as it’s reportedly a European market model. Furthermore, the car’s body-colored hardtop is included with the sale. When the weather is lovely, you can detach the hardtop and keep it at home. Should you need protection, there’s still a black convertible top to call upon. Yes, it’s basically a coupe and a convertible in one car – isn’t that great? The two-seat interior of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL showcases a key difference between European and North American market cars. European cars crammed a tiny rear seat into the space behind the two front seats, while North American market cars provided additional cargo space. Interestingly, this car comes with the cargo space despite reportedly being a European market car. Here, you’ll see two aftermarket speakers have been installed, driven by a newer Pioneer Premier head unit with a CD player and an AUX input. With black leather upholstering the seats and ample wood trim across the dashboard, this really is old-school luxury, personified.

Engine

This 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes with a 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine. The engine is reportedly rated at 182hp and 176lb-ft. It powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission.
