1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is powered by a refurbished 2.8-liter inline-six engine with mechanical fuel injection and a single overhead cam, paired with a reconditioned four-speed automatic transmission. The suspension components have been refurbished with wear-related parts replaced. Braking is handled by vacuum-assisted power four-wheel disc brakes. The car has undergone a restoration that included mechanical, upholstery, paint and chrome work. Exterior features include an added right-side rearview mirror, an insulated hood pad and two sets of wheels and tires. The vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels and includes its original steel wheels with three-point star hubcaps. The interior features refurbished instrumentation, including the clock, renewed heating and ventilation controls, a Becker AM/FM radio with a fender-mounted manual antenna and added three-point inertia-retractable seat belts. An Alpine Bluetooth-capable receiver is also included for installation in place of the Becker radio. The vehicle is not equipped with air conditioning. Additional mechanical updates include a Pertronix ignition conversion replacing the conventional contact points. The seller reports having owned the vehicle since 1985 and completing the restoration with assistance from automotive paint, upholstery and chrome specialists. 28,872 miles (mileage not indicated on the title).
