This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a European-market example finished in red with a black soft top over black upholstery. Power is supplied by a 2.8-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes a stainless steel exhaust system, 16” five-spoke wheels, fog lights, a body-colored removable hardtop, a Nardi steering wheel, and a Sony stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in 2006 and underwent a repaint during 2016 and 2017, followed by fuel system and suspension work.
The car is finished in red and underwent a repaint during 2016 and 2017. Exterior equipment includes a black soft top that was replaced in 2017, a body-colored removable hardtop, fog lights, European-spec bumpers and headlights, chrome mirror caps, and an aftermarket antenna. The seller notes bodywork was performed on the driver-side rear quarter panel prior to being refinished.
Five-spoke 16” wheels are mounted with 205/55 Riken Raptor tires that show 2006 date codes. The brake hoses are said to have been replaced in 2017 followed by suspension bushings and body mounts in 2019. Factory Bundt wheels are included in the sale.
The interior is trimmed in black upholstery with matching door panels and carpeting along with wood trim on the dash, center console, and door panels. The carpeting was replaced under current ownership, and a dash skin covers a crack in the dash surface. Amenities include a Sony stereo, a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, a defroster/heater, Mercedes-Benz floor mats, and a first-aid kit stored in the trunk. The factory stereo and steering wheel are included in the sale.
VDO instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset analog clock, and readouts for coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The odometer shows 152k miles, approximately 3k of which were added by the seller.
The 2.8-liter inline-six is said to have been rebuilt under prior ownership and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The fuel pump, filter, and fuel lines were reportedly replaced in 2021.
A stainless steel exhaust system was installed in 2018.
