Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280CE stands out with its desirable European-market features, including enhanced engine power and distinct bumpers. It's offered at no reserve with a clean title, making it an attractive prospect for enthusiasts, though potential buyers should note the replacement speedometer and its current location in California without emissions testing.

Condition 

7

The vehicle is described as having Euro-spec enhancements and a clean title, but it has a replacement speedometer showing 166k miles and has not undergone a California emissions test. While the interior has patterned cloth inserts and features like a sunroof and AC, the presence of a carpeted dashboard cover suggests some interior wear or a desire to protect it. The exterior retains its European bumpers and headlights, which is a plus, but the overall condition is described through features rather than explicit condition statements.
