THE SECOND OWNER PURCHASED IN 1983 AND SOLD IT TO MY FRIEND IN 2007. I AM A MEMBER OF THE MERCEDES BENZ CLUB AND PURCHASED FROM MY FRIEND THIS PAST DECEMBER WITH THE INTENTION OF DRIVING AS A SUMMER DRIVER. I HAD THE BENZ COMPLETELY GONE OVER AND REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. REPLACED ALL HOSES. BELTS. TUNED UP. OIL CHANGED. ALL FILTERS REPLACED. VALVE COVER GASKET REPLACED AND WIPER BLADES ($1. 00. 00). ON JANUARY 7 OF THIS YEAR THE BENZ WAS PARKED ON THE STREET WAITING FOR ME TO PICK UP FROM THE MECHANIC AND IT WAS SIDE SWIPED BY A DRIVER WHO. AS PER THE EYE WITNESS. WAS TEXTING. AS A RESULT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE NEEDS SOME BODY WORK ALONG WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE MOLDINGS. ONE BRAND NEW ONE IS INCLUDED (JUST PURCHASED FROM MERCEDES BENZ DEALER). THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSED NORMALLY. DAMAGE IS ONLY TO THE OUTSIDE DOOR SKIN. REAR QUARTER. FRONT QUARTER AND MOLDINGS. THERE IS SOME DELAMINATION OF THE GLASS IN THE LEFT UPPER CORNER ON THE HARDTOP REAR GLASS WINDOW. THE BENZ HAS AN EXCELLENT HISTORY AS SHOWN IN INCLUDED RECORDS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND UNDER COVER. THE BENZ HAS AN AMG LOWER COWL UNDER THE FRONT BUMPER. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ORIGINAL OR NOT. DRIVEN ONLY IN NICE WEATHER. COMES WITH MANY PARTS INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL GERMAN HEADLAMPS. SOME NOS PARTS. SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUALS(FACTORY MERCEDES BENZ MANUALS). PHOTOS OF THE BENZ BOTH IN GERMANY AND THE USA.

PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN AND TYPED LETTERS BETWEEN OWNERS. GREAT HISTORY AND WELL DOCUMENTED. COMES WITH THE HARDTOP AND HARDTOP RACK AND COVER (TAKEN APART AND IS IN THE TRUNK). ORIGINAL TOOL KIT AND AS. MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. nbsp;ORIGINAL PARTS. TIRES ARE ABOUT 30 %. CLUTCH. FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND BRAKES WORK PERFECTLY. ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL WORK NORMALLY AND THE BENZ PASSED THE NJ RIGID EMISSIONS TESTING. AS SEEN ON THE WINDSHIELD DECAL. THE LEATHER SEATS COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING AND CONDITIONING. OVERALL INTERIOR NEEDS A DETAILED CLEANING. WOOD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. CHROME IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION. WITH SOME BODY WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS 280 SL CAN BE AN INCREDIBLE SPORTY AND FUN DRIVER AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN VALUE. I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL SINCE I JUST PURCHASED ANOTHER MERCEDES.
