Great driving 1969 280SL, Bright Red over Black for sale in Solon, Ohio

$33,990

We just got in another very nice 280SL, this time in bright red over black, and it won"t last long. Priced right, sorted, carrying a ton of receipts and wearing a beautiful patina, this vintage Mercedes is ready for a new home! Inside, new upholstery and soft trim joined the original dashboard and wood parts. The seats are still comfortable and look much younger than their ten years would suggest. Vintage 280SL"s are very user friendly, with only one odd quirk: The automatic shifter is backwards! If you"re new to Mercedes products like this you"ll note the shifter is correctly in park, all the way towards the back of the car. The motor fires willingly to life, the power steering and brakes are excellent and the chassis feels like it"s carved from a solid block of metal. This is a very nice car to drive, feeling much more modern than it looks, this isn"t some old Chevy or Ford. Under the hood lies the well tuned and maintained 2.8 liter inline six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The bay was cleaned up at restoration time, sharing the same well-loved look as the rest of the car. The fuel pump, tank and injection pump were repaired and the brakes were gone through. The engine and its compartment aren"t showroom new, but the engine"s charm, condition and temperament more than make up for any dirt or discoloration. We have years" worth of receipts for tune ups and repairs, leading back to 1970. Perfect cars look better standing still but conditioned, maintained examples like this one draw attention and are a lot more fun to own!At the Motor Car Group, we"re enthusiasts first. We want you to enjoy your new car from the minute it"s delivered and the trailer door drops. Before a car leaves our shop, it"s gone through comprehensively, both visually and mechanically. We do more than just kick the tires, though: We change every fluid from the oil to the differential to the brake fluid to the convertible top hydraulic oil. We do this after you buy the car so that your “maintenance clock†starts when you get it, and not months prior! We fill your tires with nitrogen, road test (if the weather permits us here in Cleveland!) and clean it inside and out. We buff the paint using a three-step process immediately before it"s taken away so that it gleams when it arrives. Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers through the rarest exotics, is meant to be driven--get out there! If you have any questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us. It"s what we"re here for! Call us at (440) , write us at sales@motorcargroup.com or stop by and see the new shop at 6441 Davis Industrial Parkway, Solon OH 44139.
