Up for sale is my 1969 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda Roadster which needs finishing and reassembly. Previous owner had the car since 2008 and had been working on it and then lost interest. He purchased many new parts such as new canvas top, all seals, rechromed light bezels, brand new interior mahogany wood set which he said cost more than $1000, new rubber mats for interior of trunk and car, new exhaust system still in the box, and many miscellaneous pieces which carry the Mercedes Benz tag. All parts appear to be present: all dash gauges, radio, speedometer, tachometer, rectangular gauge, clock which previous owner says works, glove box door, all dash vent pieces and knobs and interior/exterior chrome pieces and latches, bumpers, door handles, door regulators and door parts, front grill, Bosch horns, air cleaner, new engine insulation kit and the list goes on. The car also has an under dash air conditioning system present. It has all pieces except the compressor. There is no windshield with the car. Also present are a pair of Euro headlights which go with the car.
THERE ARE 2 ENGINES WHICH GO WITH THE CAR!! The original was disassembled and sent to the machine shop. It has been machined and the engine parts were degreased. All engine parts are present. You will see the engine in the pictures. It is complete and has the Bosch mechanical fuel injection. The other engine is a 280SL engine which came out of a running car. It is totally ASSEMBLED. It has the Bosch mechanical fuel injection on the engine. Again, the car comes with 2 engines! There are also 2 Bosch distributors which are present. The transmission and torque converter are present. Previous owner said transmission shifted well.
The car was sent to the body shop and had new floors and trunk pan welded in. The metal work that was done on the car was done very well, high quality. After the body work was done the car was then painted 1969 Mercedes Benz Silver. This is the silver that Mercedes used in 1969 on the 280SL. All panels look good, doors close well with even gap, hood fits well and trunk lid and convertible top lid fit well. The paint work looks good on the car. The work that was done on the welded-in panels looks good. Frame is super solid and clean.
Underneath the car was cleaned. New shocks were installed and the wheels were media blasted and then powder coated black. New tires were installed.
This is a re-assembly project! The car rolls and can be loaded up on a trailer. All parts can be boxed and placed inside of car. This will make a beautiful car when it is done!

2015 Russian Grand Prix was full of crashes and DNFs
Mon, Oct 12 2015Mercedes-AMG Petronas non-executive chairman Niki Lauda said of Lewis Hamilton's race-day domination this year, "The guy is driving like a god." Qualifying is another story, though – teammate Nico Rosberg taking pole proved that sometimes deities have to settle for second on the grid. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas surprised himself and his team with third place, half a second behind Hamilton but 0.05 sec ahead of the first Ferrari driven by Sebastian Vettel, while a mistake on Kimi Raikkonen's final flying lap left him in fifth, 0.4 sec behind Vettel. The Sahara Force India team had a good showing, with Nico Hulkenberg qualifying sixth just ahead of teammate Sergio Perez in seventh. It's the first time they've had both drivers in the top ten on the grid since the 2014 British Grand Prix. Romain Grosjean is leaving the stormy waters of Lotus at the end of the year for the unknown waters of Haas F1, but he made the shoestring operation look really good before Renault takes over by taking eighth place on the grid. Max Verstappen qualified well again with ninth in the Toro Rosso, ahead of the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing of Daniel Ricciardo in tenth. Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat lined up eleventh for his home grand prix, certainly a disappointment after locking up fifth place on the grid last year in a Toro Rosso. When Pirelli brought soft and supersoft compounds to Sochi, the company said it hoped this year's race would be better than last year's. We're sure this first-lap mishap isn't what they meant. Rosberg and Hamilton dragged it down to Turn 1, with Rosberg getting the inside line. Hamilton had to go wide at Turn 2 as Rosberg fought to hold position, but they left a mess in their wake: Hulkenberg spun going into Turn 2 and stopped in the middle of the track, and Marcus Ericsson in the Sauber – who'd started 16th – collided with him. Both cars were out of the race immediately, and the Safety Car came in. The Safety Car returned to the pits on Lap 3 Rosberg led the field, but just two laps later the German complained of a sticking throttle pedal. Two laps later he had to retire, unable to drive the car properly. That put Hamilton at the front, and we've seen that race a bunch of times before. He built a double-digit lead and never lost it.
