Summary
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280E shows 117k miles and features an older repaint in its original Pastel Grey over a blue MB Tex interior. It benefits from recent extensive service, including an R134 A/C conversion, new Michelin tires, and numerous mechanical adjustments and replacements. While largely original inside with a Retrosound stereo, the car has minor bodywork evidence, small dings, and rust bubbles on the rocker panel and door bottoms.
