Post by: 69EUROPAGODA on May 21, 2024, 22:42:48
After over 40 years in the family, it is time for our European Numbers-matching 3-owner 1969 280SL Automatic with 93,376 original KILOMETERS...to find a new home!  Below are a few initial details for your consideration:

- Imported from Germany in 1972 (second owner purchasing from original owner) as a high school graduation gift
- In 1982, the second owner's boyfriend damaged the front valance (aesthetic/cosmetic only)
- Instead of repairing the vehicle, having owned it for 10 years, the second owner decided to sell it and move on to a new car
- Purchased by our family in 1982 from second owner
- During the aesthetic/cosmetic repairs, our family changed the color from white to silver and reupholstered the interior
- The car has lived in Arizona since 1972 and garage kept
- in 2023 we:
  - Replaced the fuel system (tank/lines/filters/pump)
  - Installed new tires
  - Reconditioned the wheels (media blasted, primed, painted to match the car)
  - Replaced the brakes
  - Installed a new alternator
  - Paint work / Rejuvenation
  - More info. available upon request*
- Data card in-hand to verify vehicle information
- The soft top is intact, however it will not fully extend to the windshield due to two pieces (one on each of the base mount/hinges) that have broken

ASKING $49,000 USD

Thanks!

We certainly like it.  Like any car that is 55 years old and has not had a full restoration, it has some character (things that can be done).  It is a great deal of fun to cruise around in, whether it is just to the post office or through the North Georgia Hills.
