Title: Please help me value my 1969 280SL. Thanks.
Post by: gauchoamigo on April 13, 2009, 01:18:39

I have a 1969 280SL that was my dad's. Engine has been rebuilt and bored out a bit (basically for the rebuild and not for performance) so essentially it has about 10K miles on the new engine, 130K total. Arabian Grey with black interior, both tops, excellent paint condition, all service records and manuals.

I've attached a few pics, I just want to see what you guys think the value would be. I would love to get 25K out of it if at all possible.

Thanks for any input you can give. I hate to give it up but I have to for financial reasons.

Engine bay and underside pics would be very helpful.  From first glance, I'd say it's worth more than 25K

Follow this link and look at Brian's asking prices and past sales.  There is a large range and the market is a buyer's market right now so you need to discount the numbers somewhat.
