AI Listing Summary
This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, a one-owner car since new, is presented in Silver Gray Metallic with a Burgundy interior and a desirable four-speed manual transmission. It's being sold at no reserve and features recent service, but the description notes worn trim, paint imperfections, and fluid leaks, indicating a need for some reconditioning.
Condition
6
The car has several noted issues including worn exterior trim and seals, chips and bubbling paint, holes in the convertible top, an oil leak from the timing covers and valve cover gasket, and a transmission fluid leak. There is also corrosion on underside components. While recent service has been done and the engine compression is good, these numerous cosmetic and mechanical issues prevent a higher rating.
