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

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.

Meanwhile, the chrome pieces, including the front and rear bumpers, side mirrors, and front grille frame, add to the aesthetic. The side mirrors were recently replaced as well. It is reported that this car features a replaced windshield, ensuring crystal-clear visibility. The body-colored hard top sits neatly when it's time to protect you from the weather. This SL rides on period-correct 14-inch wheels wrapped in Hankook tires. This 1980 Mercedes 280SL Convertible greets you with an interior that exudes vintage design language as soon as you open the double doors. The black dash is adorned with woodgrain trim, giving the space a deluxe feel. It has been upgraded with air conditioning, replaced seat belts, and an Alpine audio system to offer you an elevated experience with this 280SL.

Engine

This 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL Convertible is motivated by a 2.8L I6, putting out close to 182 HP. This powerhouse is married to a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth transitions. The engine gets its fuel through a Bosch mechanical fuel injection system, and the current owner reports a replaced gas tank as well. The 280SL won’t break any speed records but will still take you from 0-60 mph in around 8.4 seconds, which is satisfactory for a grand classic.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz S 560 already knows how to make an entrance, but this one decided the standard S-Class treatment simply was not enough. Finished in a Black/Silver two-tone Maybach-style vinyl wrap, riding on aftermarket wheels, and wearing Maybach badging, it brings a little limousine theater to the regular-wheelbase S 560 formula. Underneath the costume, however, this is still a properly equipped flagship Mercedes with a twin-turbocharged V8, Premium Package, Driver Assistance Package, Nappa leather, and Black Poplar wood trim. With 49,933 miles, it offers plenty of S-Class substance with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek dose of Maybach-inspired presence.
