Finished in elegant Sand Beige Metallic over a rich Cognac interior, it presents a timeless and sophisticated color combination that perfectly complements the car's crisp, classic lines. The factory-style presentation is further enhanced by a color-matching hardtop and a Dark Brown soft top, offering both versatility and style whether cruising with the top down or enjoying closed-roof motoring. Power comes from Mercedes-Benz's renowned 2.8-liter fuel-injected inline six-cylinder engine, producing 180 horsepower, ample performance delivered with signature smoothness and reliability. Paired with a 4-speed automatic gearbox, this 280SL offers relaxed yet engaging driving dynamics, making it perfectly suited for touring, weekend drives, or casual top-down enjoyment. The car's mechanical refinement is a hallmark of the Pagoda series, and this example has benefitted from extensive restoration and maintenance to ensure it performs at its best. This 280SL has been cherished by the same owner for the past 13 years, during which more than $85,000 has been invested to preserve and enhance its condition. Recent service includes new Bilstein shocks and struts, an alternator, power steering pump, distributor, ignition components, and a fresh battery, addressing key systems to ensure turn-key reliability. The mechanical stewardship is immediately evident both on the road and in the car's crisp, confident driving character. Enhancing its visual appeal, the car rides on upgraded Centra T31 16-inch wheels with gold-plated Mercedes star centers, adding a touch of flair while maintaining a period-correct aesthetic. For purists, the original wheels and hubcaps are included, offering the option to return the car to its original look if desired. This thoughtful balance between tasteful upgrades and preservation of originality speaks to the level of care given to the vehicle. Inside, the cabin blends vintage charm with modern convenience. The RetroSound Bluetooth radio provides contemporary functionality without disturbing the classic dashboard design, while the rare Frigiking air-conditioning system ensures comfortable driving even in warm climates. The Cognac interior presents beautifully, highlighting the meticulous upkeep this Pagoda has received over the years and adding to its inviting, grand-touring atmosphere. With just 59,000 miles and accompanied by its books, tools, and manuals, this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL represents a stunning and well-sorted example of one of Mercedes' most beloved models. Its combination of refined styling, extensive maintenance history, desirable options, and tasteful enhancements make it an exceptional Pagoda for collectors and enthusiasts alike, one that's ready to drive, enjoy, and proudly display. |
