Vehicle Description Introducing the timeless classic, a 1972 Mercedes 280 SE.
This car is more than just a vehicle, it's a piece of history, a testament to the golden age of automotive design.
It's not just a car, it's a lifestyle, a statement, a symbol of elegance and sophistication.
This beautiful machine has been lovingly cared for by three owners, all of whom have kept it safely tucked away in a garage, preserving its charm and character.
Its sleek silver exterior, a $5,000.
00 recent paint job addition, gleams like a moonbeam, turning heads wherever it goes.
Under the hood, the engine purrs like a well-fed cat, with a compression of 150 psi in five of the six cylinders and 145 psi in the remaining one.
The tires, though not brand new, still have plenty of life left in them, with 5/32 tread on the front from 2000 and 8/32 on the rear from 2005.
The brake pads and rotors are in good condition, ensuring a smooth and safe ride.
However, like any classic car, it has its quirks.
There are small oil leaks, some radiator corrosion, and the lower radiator hose is rubbing on the swaybar.
The idler arm bushing shows some wear, and on close inspection there's a very slight amount of rust in a few areas.
The interior is a sight to behold, with excellent leather seats that cradle you in comfort.
The back of the driver seat is coming loose, but it's a minor issue that should be easy to fix.
The front passenger carpet shows fraying.
The odometer is inoperable, showing 2050 miles, but we believe it has likely rolled over to 102,050 miles.
The car runs beautifully, but does experience some stalling when coming to a stop, which we suspect may be a fuel pump issue.
Despite these minor issues, this car is a gem, a true classic that will bring joy to any car enthusiast.
This car comes with a treasure trove of original documents, including the maintenance manual from the first owner, the original Mercedes-Benz dealer's book from October 15, 1971, the maintenance booklet, the owner's manual, and the Mercedes-Benz 1970 catalog.
This car is being sold on behalf of a dear friend who unfortunately passed away in a motorcycle accident.
His widow has made the difficult decision to part with this beautiful machine.
This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, and to continue the legacy of care and love that this car has always known.
This 1972 Mercedes 280 SE is more than just a car.
It's a statement, a lifestyle, a piece of history and would be considered in between excellent and good condition.
It's waiting for the right person to write the next chapter of its story.
Could that person be you?.
