Pristinely Restorable 1971 Mercedes 280sl on 2040-cars

Winter Park, Florida, United States

This car was owned by the former General Sales Manager of a large Mercedes dealership in Jacksonville for 20 years, and as a result this car comes with factory parts and service manuals, as well as most of the invoices for work and parts that have been replaced. This car has a Good, Clear, Florida Title (Not Salvage/Rebuilt) and this title is with the car. This car is being sold for personal reasons, not particularly financial ones. This car was disassembled by the owner, and parts were labeled and placed into Zip-Lock bags as they were removed. This is a 1971 280SL, which is one of the rarest 280SLs ever produced. Only an estimated 420 1971 280SLs were ever sold in the US, and 1971 was the last year they were made. This car should be considered to be the closest to having the least rust of any 280SL that is available for restoration. The pictures should be clear enough to see clear examples of where this car needs bodywork, this is the reason why I have donated my time in the direction of chemically removing most of the paint to display the well preserved metal underneath. This car is very close to being placed upon a rotisserie, media blasted, and then painted in zinc chromate primer. The car has such low rust that it will probably be able to pass the small screwdriver test, where the tip of the screwdriver should not perforate any floor panel or body part. As evidenced by the extremely good condition of the original transmission (in the pictures) this car has been very well preserved. This car comes with every part that is in the pictures. The owner purchased all of the OEM parts while he was at the Mercedes Dealership as the General Sales Manager. A very large number of parts were bought for this car, including brand new bumpers, and nearly every piece of rubber. The engine and the transmission ran fine before the car was disassembled, and much care was taken to label the zip lock bags with parts inside of them. If you would like more details about the parts that are included, or would like close up shots of the part numbers, please contact us. The factory metal plates are intact and original, under the hood and the left door jam. The soft top frame is included with the car, and is located underneath the hard top. The color code for this car is 906 Silver Blue Metallic. There is no stamped metal number in the hood, but all of the gaps on the car generally look good. The $550 Mercedes-Benz matching toolkit and bag for this car is included. The engine number is 130983 12 013109, and the car and engine both have less than 95,000 miles, and a professional Mercedes Engine Re-manufacturer has inspected the engine, and has confirmed that the engine turns over freely, and the rack on the injection pump moves freely. At 90,000 miles the engine head was professionally re-manufactured at the Jacksonville dealership using only quality Mercedes-Benz parts. This car does not have carpets, an exhaust system, a fuel tank, or a front windshield. My suggestion on where to find the replacement parts are From Mercedes Benz, new: Fuel tank 113 470 0701 $1,100 list F windshield 113 671 0410 $755 list Mike at Time Valve 321 254-7200 stainless exhaust ~$900 or so Cindy at GAHH 800 722-2292 for carpet kit This car is being sold "AS IS", and a reasonable amount of effort has been committed to ensure that this is an accurate description of this 280SL in pictures and in text.

Mercedes-Maybach rolls out new S, GLS and EQS SUV Night Series
Wed, May 24 2023Mercedes-Maybach is embracing a new look for what it hopes will be a new generation of buyers — one keen to embrace its new electrified luxury models. The new Night Series will be offered on all three models in the current Maybach lineup, with the S-Class and EQS SUV variants arriving later this year and the GLS following in early 2024. While the execution off each Night Series is dependent on the model in question, they share a few common elements. Their headlights, for instance, are all embellished with dark chrome Maybach logos on rose gold trim. You'll find that dark chrome just about anywhere you'd normally spot bling, from the grille and exterior trim to the coating on the rear exhaust finishers. And then there are those wheels. I don't know what to say, quite honestly. Just look at them. And while you're at it, peep at the running boards on the EQS SUV. While the cars shown here are quite uniform, differentiation will come in the form of finish choices and further individual customization. All three are offered with the Obsidian Black/Mojave Silver two-tone combination shown here. The EQS SUV will also be available in Obsidian Black and Manufaktur Diamond White finishes, the S-Class can be done up in various grey, black and white hues, and the GLS can be had in white or Obsidian Black. Inside you'll find herringbone-patterned, open-pore wood with aluminum accents along with another smattering of dark chrome. The EQS SUV and GLS can optioned with with Nappa leather in two-tone Crystal White/Black Pearl or just plain Black Pearl. In the S-Class, you can do Nappa leather in either Deep White/Black Pearl or straight Black Pearl. Look for more on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and EQS SUV Night Series soon, with more to come on the GLS variant as its arrival draws closer. Related video: 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 walkaround
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper
Fri, Sep 15 2017We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.
