1976 Mercedes-Benz 280SL R107 EUROPEAN MODEL 2 Tops Roadster Convertible!!!
Here is the chance to own one of the most beautiful roadsters that Mercedes-Benz ever made -1976 Mercedes Benz 280SL roadster! What makes this SL special is that this is the TRUE EUROPEAN 6 Cylinder model featuring more elegant and desirable short European Bumpers and lighter bullet proof 2.8 Straight 6 Cylinder engine!!!
Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizable - the Gullwing Mercedes the '57 Chevy and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy yet affordable as a 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz.
1971 was the first year of this body style and W107 chassis of the 280350380450 and 560SLs was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's line. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart Germany factory.
Owning a Mercedes SL gives a person a real driving enjoyment and pride of ownership. When these cars were first manufactured Mercedes-Benz adhered to construction methods that resulted in a standard that was the envy of the automotive industry. Every Mercedes-Benz model shared a build quality second to none.
This SL was sitting for the past 4 years due to its owner’s age and health issues. Before the car was parked it was running and driving and gentleman used it as his daily driver.
Engine spins and cranks freely but it doesn’t start as the car was sitting for some time. It will need to be gone through gas tank and fuel lines cleaned and tune up performed.
We are selling it as a non-runner but it does roll steers and brakes with no problems.
This Mercedes is a fun project and it is perfect for somebody who wants to do a full restoration and have a wonderful show car and the investment especially being a rare Euro model OR for somebody who can fix it up to be their daily or a weekend driver and then slowly restore it to its full beauty and potential at their own pace!!
Walkaround:
Pastel Blue (paint Code 922 pastellblau) shows nice for a daily driver but upon closer inspection you can notice some imperfections and paint bubbles mainly due to its age and the fact that car was kept outside for a period of time under a car cover. From 10 Feet away it looks really good and its perfect for a daily driver but if you want to restore it to its full glory then new paint job would make this car pop!
Body is nice and straight but there are some rust bubbles along edge of the hood and on the trunk lid. Undercarriage is all original and unmolested but there is some rust on the floors from the car being stored outside under a car cover.
Interior is all complete and for 39 year old car it’s in really good condition and its very presentable. Original seats are in great condition. They are comfortable and very supportive and door panels are in great shape as well.
It comes with both Hard Top and Soft top. Hard top is in pretty good condition and all glass is nice and complete. Soft top is operating with ease and dark Blue canvas still looks good and useful without any rips or tears!
All in all it’s a very nice and complete car that can make a very nice and fun project and great return on your investment!
According to the NADA values (http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1976/Mercedes-Benz/280SL/2-Door-Roadster-_/Values) value of this Mercedes ranges from:
$13800 for the LOW retail value
