After over 40 years in the family, it is time for our European Numbers-matching 3 owner 1969 280SL Automatic with 93,376 original KILOMETERS...to find a new home! Below are a few initial details for your consideration:
- Imported from Germany in 1972 (second owner purchasing from original owner) as a high school graduation gift
- In 1982, the second owner's boyfriend damaged the front valance (aesthetic/cosmetic only)
- Instead of repairing the vehicle, having owned it for 10 years, the second owner decided to sell it and move on to a new car
- Purchased by our family in 1982 from second owner
- During the aesthetic/cosmetic repairs, our family changed the color from white to silver and reupholstered the interior
- The car has lived in Arizona since 1972 and garage kept
- Last year we:
- Replaced the fuel system (tank/lines/filters/pump)
- Installed new tires
- Reconditioned the wheels (media blasted, primed, painted to match the car)
- Replaced the brakes
- Installed a new alternator
- Paint work / Rejuvenation
- More info. available upon request*
- Data card in-hand to verify vehicle information
- The soft top is intact, however it will not fully extend to the windshield due to two pieces (one on each of the base mount/hinges) that have broken
There is, naturally, a great deal more to share about the car. I am happy to field all questions and provide more information & pictures as requested. It is a beautiful car that you can enjoy as is or take and fully restore (as it is numbers-matching).
ASKING $59,000 USD
Enjoy!
