This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280CE is finished in yellow over brown MB-Tex and is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is said to have been sold new in Colorado and was acquired by the seller and relocated to Florida in 2019. Features include 14″ Bundt wheels, power windows, air conditioning, and a Becker stereo. Service in July 2021 included replacement of the driver-side window regulator and motor, the brake pads, and the fluids.
The body is finished in Maple Yellow and equipment includes chrome trim, tinted windows, and ribbed taillight lenses. The hood was repainted under current ownership.
Factory 14″ Bundt wheels wear 195/70 Cooper Evolution Tour tires with date codes from 2020. A full-size spare is housed in the trunk.
The cabin is upholstered in Bamboo MB-Tex with wood trim on the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Additional equipment includes a Becker push-button Europa II AM/FM radio, automatic climate control, power windows, a center armrest, and Coco front floor mats. The seller reports that the cruise control, power antenna, and left stereo channel are inoperable, and that there is a squeak present in the steering column. The driver’s side window regulator and motor were replaced in July 2021.
VDO instrumentation consists of a 150-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 65k miles.
The 2.8-liter M110 inline-six was factory-rated at 142 horsepower and 149 lb-ft of torque and drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid were reportedly changed in preparation for the sale.
Manufacturer’s literature, service records, historical details from the previous owner, and a first aid kit are included in the sale.
