1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE

• blue-grey paint looks glossy and straight from every angle, no repaint needed
• chrome bumpers, grille, headlight trim and matching hubcaps look bright, no rechrome bill
• the photos show a cabriolet body with a tan boot cover, even though the title just says 280SE, so expect convertible money not sedan money
• parchment leather seats front and rear look clean with light creasing only, no need to reupholster
• door panels and dash wood look clean and intact, with a Behr air-conditioning unit under the dash, no trim repair showing
• trunk looks clean and dry with a Michelin spare strapped in, no trunk repair bill
• engine photos show a V8 with twin valve covers, not the 2.8 six the plain 280SE title implies, so this looks like a 3.5 and should be verified and valued as one
• engine bay looks honest and complete, no detailing bill beyond upkeep
• underside is finished in body-color blue and looks clean on the lift with no rust breaking through, no floor work showing
• soft top fabric itself is not shown raised in the sampled photos, I can't judge it, so budget for an inspection

Money: no sold price is recorded for this one, and if it is the V8 cabriolet the photos show, the glossy paint, parchment leather and clean underside support far stronger money than a plain 280SE title suggests.
