Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a European-market example imported to the US and offered at no reserve. It features Signal Red paint, black MB-Tex interior, and a 2.7-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, though it has several known cosmetic and mechanical needs.
Significant work has been done by the current owner, including replacing various maintenance items, but the car has a non-working odometer, AC, and known fluid leaks, indicating it will require further attention despite its clean Carfax report.
Condition
4
The car has multiple cosmetic and mechanical issues including a cracked dashboard, non-working AC, non-working odometer, leaking valve cover and rear main seal, and deteriorating hood insulation. While mechanically functional, it requires significant reconditioning.
