Background Story of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

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.

$84,999

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
