ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORNTUNITY
BEAUTIFUL 1970 MERCEDES 280SE 3.5 V8
CONVERTIBLE CONVERSION
I have loved this car, but currently have a new baby, and 2 homes to restore.
At 51 I am too tired to do it all; something must go!
I am told the current market for a Mercedes 280se 3.5 factory convertible is between $275-350 K!!!! My loss is definitely your gain!!!!!!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST HANDBUILT MERCEDES, ORDERED IN NAVY BLUE INTERIOR WITH ELEGANT PEARL WHITE, JUST LIKE RALPH LAUREN’S PEARL WHITE MERCEDES 280SE 3.5.
I THINK THIS COLOR IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FOR THIS MODEL PERIOD.
HAND-ASSEMBED WOOD, LEATHER, AND WOOL CARPET;
THEY DO NOT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!
IF YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A MERCEDES 3.5 CONVERTIBLE AND THOUGHT ; I WILL NEVER AFFORD ONE ..
NOW THIS IS YOUR CHANCE !!!!!
CALIFORNIA CAR WITH CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME, AND REGISTRATION UP TO DATE.
0 RUST ON THIS CAR EVER…THIS IS A NICE CAR!!
STRAIGHT, SOLID, RUST FREE, WITH SOLID FLOORS!!!!
80,990 MILES.
IT HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WISTLES FRON NEW:
LOW GRILL 3.5 V8
4 SPEED AUTOMATIC FLOOR SHIFT
BECKER RADIO
CHROME FENDER GUARDS
BEHR DUAL AIR CONDTIONING
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
STILL HAS ORIG OWNERS MANUAL, SPARE AND JACK!
THE CAR WAS CONVERTED TO A CONVERTIBLE MANY YEARS AGO AND WAS DONE TO BETTER THAN FACTORY SPECS.
BODY/ CHASSIS BRACING DONE WITH HIGH QUALITY WELDS CORRECTLY TREATED AND COATED!!! EXPENSIVE!!
DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE WITH ONE FINGER.

THIS CAR CAN BE ENJOYED AND DRIVEN AS IT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER!! IN MOST ALL RESPECTS IS JUST LIKE THE $300K MERCEDES FACTORY CONVERTIBLE....JUST THE FOLDING TOP JUST HAS YET TO BE PUT ON.
IF AND WHEN YOU WISH TO COMPLETE THE CONVERSION, THE FOLDING TOP WOULD BE PLACED AND ANCHORED AND THE HEADER RECIEVERS PUT IN. I HAVE EXTENSIVE PHOTOS OF THIS ON A USB WHICH I WILL PASS ON.
