69 280SE Convertible Vin Door Tag info needed
« on: April 02, 2015, 13:27:18 »
My 1969 280SE tall grill Convertible had some body work done and the rear quarter panel was replaced. They never reattached the Vin ID tag to the drivers side door jamb.
I have the tag under the hood. I have someone who will make me a correct tag but I need some information from another owner. PLEASE PLEASE!!!

The tag lists the following and I want to be sure I have correct info. If you can send me what your tag reads I would greatly appreciate it.
Max. Total weight_____lbs.    max. front axle load _____lbs
vehicle capacity  ______lbs    max. rear axle load ______lbs.

Also how the model is listed would be helpful__________

Thanks
David

David,
Sent you a private email.
Have a picture of a 69 280SE coupe, which could be similar.
Also have a 250SE coupe too.
From my collection of about 30 vin tags.

I found a photo of the tag I needed from a for sale ad on line.
I am posting it in case any one else may need the info.
Thanks for the replies and help.
