About this car
This 1968 280SL is offered on eBay by beverlyhillscarclub in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $46,500. The car is finished in Dark Blue, an automatic gearbox. The listing does not state a mileage. As with any Pagoda, the floors, sills and spare-wheel well deserve a close look for rust, and the soft-top frame and hardtop seals are worth checking.
What the photos show
- Navy paint is glossy and the chrome is bright in these photos, no repaint needed on the panels shown.
- The hardtop is fitted in several shots and its rear shelf looks dirty and stained through the rear window, so budget a hardtop interior clean.
- The blue rear bench looks clean and unmarked, no rear retrim needed.
- Front seats are not shown close in the sampled photos, so their condition can't be judged and no saving can be claimed there.
- The trunk floor is rusty and brown once the mat is lifted in one photo, and the mat itself is grubby, so budget trunk floor repair.
- The engine bay is shown repeatedly with rust on the inner wings and bulkhead, peeling black paint on the vacuum tank and rusty linkage, so budget bay and mechanical work.
- The odometer in the photos reads 75,729 on a km/h gauge, matching the tidy top side but not the rust underneath the shine.
- Can't judge the underside from these photos, so a lift inspection has to size the rust bill.
- Can't judge the soft top raised from these photos, so budget a top check.
Money: at $46,500 the gloss is doing the selling - the rusty trunk floor and rusty, peeling engine bay in these same photos say metal and mechanical money is still to spend.
