1973 Marcedes-Benz 280sel one owner survivor

Very clean rust free one owner California 280sel 4.5. No accident history. The car was originally sold in California and has been in the same family. Great driving car in original unrestored condition. The body is completely rust free. The only defects on the outside are a few small door dings on the lower part of the passenger front door and on the trim. There are a few rock chips that have been touched up. The chrome is in fantastic condition as are the bumpers. The interior carpet and seats are free of tears and show little wear and are still soft. The original radio works as do the lights and all the gauges. The heater and air controls all function. It is a very comfortable ride. The wood on the dash on the right side is peeling and needs reworking. The sun visors also could use replacement but otherwise the interior shows quite well. The engine is very clean and runs excellent. The trunk is rust free and complete with original spare tire and tools. Includes books and manuals. Clear title no smog required. If you are looking for a really classy vintage Mercedes that is ready to drive anywhere this is your car. The few 280's that remain today are often full of rust. The body on this car is completely rust free. It would be a great candidate for a concourse restoration or simply enjoy driving it as is. Guaranteed that you get compliments every time you full up. Car is for sale locally so the auction may end early.
