Summary
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL was refurbished prior to the current owner's 2017 acquisition, featuring an ivory finish, black soft top, and red interior. Power comes from a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Recent work includes rebuilding a brake caliper, replacing the stainless-steel exhaust system, fan clutch, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, engine mounts, and subframe mounts.
