Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is finished in Champagne Metallic and carries the clean, restrained lines that define the R107 generation. European-specification headlights and bumpers give the car a slimmer and more elegant appearance than contemporary U.S.-market versions, while 14-inch Mercedes-Benz Bundt alloy wheels reinforce its period-correct presentation. The car is equipped with a brown convertible soft top for open-air driving and also includes a removable body-colored hardtop for a more enclosed grand-touring configuration. The interior of this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is trimmed in Brazil leather and complemented by extensive wood interior trim, creating the warm and traditional atmosphere associated with Mercedes-Benz luxury cars of the period. Equipment includes power windows and air conditioning, while a Denon stereo cassette head unit adds a period-style audio upgrade. Aftermarket rear speakers are also fitted, along with an aftermarket alarm/security system and battery cutoff switch.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six, one of Mercedes-Benz’s well-known twin-cam six-cylinder engines from the era. Fuel delivery is handled through Bosch K-Jetronic continuous fuel injection, providing the mechanical injection setup characteristic of many European Mercedes models of the period. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission, giving the 280 SL the smooth, relaxed cruising character that suits its role as a refined open-top grand tourer.

This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod is the kind of build that takes the raw appeal of an early second-generation Camaro and turns nearly every major system up a notch. Showing approximately 178 miles, it combines a 383ci stroker V8, 4-speed automatic transmission, and Moser rear end with a completely reworked cabin sourced from a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The custom Candy Apple Green paint job gives the car serious presence, while the cowl-induction hood, front chin spoiler, rear decklid spoiler, aftermarket wheels, and LED lighting sharpen the classic bodywork. Inside, the modern Camaro conversion brings black leather, updated gauges, carbon-fiber-style trim, a Bluetooth sound system, and a B&M Quicksilver shifter into a chassis that still looks every bit like a proper ’71 muscle car. It’s a build that clearly leans into the restomod philosophy: classic shape, modernized execution, and a much more aggressive personality.
