About this car
Hemmings listing in Boca Raton, FL. 280SL two-owner car; comprehensive restoration by Unique Cars of Palm Beach; manual transmission; Signal Red (568) with bamboo leather; matching numbers.
What the photos show
- red paint is bright and glossy with straight sides, though the rear panel shows some orange peel up close — no repaint needed, just don't expect a mirror finish everywhere
- chrome bumpers and trim are bright, no rechrome money needed
- tan interior trim and visors look clean and fresh, no trim work to budget
- the maker's plate is photographed and legible, which costs nothing but saves argument about what the car is
- engine bay details are clean — fresh-looking reservoirs and original labels still in place, no sorting bill visible
- trunk floor is sound black metal with a few dusty spots and light marks, no rust repair to budget
- the seats are only seen from outside at a distance, so their leather can't be judged up close from these photos
- the soft top is never shown raised and the underside is never shown, so neither can be judged from these photos
Money: at $185,900 the paint, chrome and engine bay photograph as finished work; the seat leather, top fabric and underside are where an inspection still has to earn its keep.
