Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, owned for 30 years, features a recently retrofitted 4-speed manual transmission and over $15k in recent service including engine work and re-chromed bumpers. While mechanically sound with extensive recent maintenance, it does have minor cosmetic flaws like soft top scuffs and non-working interior amenities.
Condition
7
The car has had recent significant mechanical work including a valve job, resealed rear axle, and new clutch release cylinder, indicating good mechanical upkeep. Cosmetically, the bumpers were re-chromed and new tires were fitted in 2026, but there are scuffs on the rear bow of the soft top, and the analog clock and AM radio do not work. This aligns with a 'Very Good' rating, showing some wear but overall solid condition with minor imperfections.
