68 For sale SOLD
« on: July 30, 2020, 02:53:45 »
1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL. I have owned this car for 18 years. Car has been repainted before my ownership Perl White. Car drives like new. I have restored/replaced many components, including: engine, transmission, fuel pump, fuel injection pump, fuel tank, exhaust, radiator, water pump, break booster, A/C, breaks, suspension parts, door handles, etc. All work done by Beverly Hill Motors in Houston. Paint shows ok, but has many chips and bubbles. There is rust in the usual places. Car needs nothing to be enjoyed. Rear bumpers look like new, front bumpers look ok, but would need rechroming. Engine runs and sounds great. Comes with three keys. All numbers match those in the data card. Car comes with a W113 hard top, but it is not original to this car and will need restoration. Inspections and test drives can be arranged.
I am a private seller.
Price: Accepting Offers greater than $43,500
Car is located in Houston. Car must be picked up, I will not ship.

What I  mean by "will not ship" is I will not make any arrangements for shipping. Buyer will be responsible for having shipping company pick up the car after payment. I will certainly help with required paper work.

I would check out the 'rust in the usual places' as that can be a real problem (what you don't see).

I have many photos. If interested I can email them.

Many asked about the headlight notches and fender spot welds. No notches and no spot welds.

Do you have a walk around video by any chance? Photos of where the rust is would also be great
