Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, a desirable European-market 'Pagoda' model, presents in Moss Green Metallic with Bamboo leather interior and includes both soft and hardtops. Recent mechanical work addresses brakes, steering, and fuel systems, but noted oil leaks from multiple seals and the need for subframe mount replacement indicate some reconditioning is required.
Condition
6
The car has undergone significant recent service including brake hoses, steering linkage, battery, belts, and fuel lines. However, the service records indicate that the front subframe mounts require replacement and several seals (front crankshaft, valve cover gasket, transmission front seal, differential pinion seal) are leaking. Additionally, the water hoses are oil-soaked and need replacement. These mechanical issues necessitate substantial reconditioning.
