About this car
1970 280SEL at David's Classic Cars in Marion, IL. The dealer publishes no price for this car, so the number has to come from a call. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- only one full-size photo is actually this car, the rest of the gallery is tiny thumbnails of other cars, including a G-Class and a 1990s sedan, so the 13-photo gallery is mostly padding
- in that one photo the brown paint looks flat and faded with no shine left, so paint correction or a respray belongs in the budget
- the front wheel is a bare rusty steel wheel with its hubcap missing while the rear still wears a cover, a small but telling sign of neglect, so expect deferred maintenance costs
- chrome grille and bumper look complete and reasonably bright, no obvious rechrome bill from this angle
- two of the thumbnails are the exact same white sedan photo repeated, and the rest are other cars, so none of them add evidence about this one
- can't judge the seats or interior, nothing inside is shown beyond glass, so upholstery cost stays unknown
- can't judge the dash or wood, no interior photo is provided, so trim cost can't be priced
- can't judge the engine bay, it is never shown, so mechanical condition is a complete unknown
- can't judge the underside, no lift photo, so W108 sill and floor rust remains a risk
Money: with no price listed, the one real photo shows a faded, slightly neglected sedan, so it should be priced as a project-grade driver until paint, bay and underside can be inspected
