1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 4-Speed

Description

The 1969 Mercedes‑Benz 280SL represented the final development stage of the Mercedes W113 “Pagoda” series, produced from 1963 to 1971. Introduced in 1967, the 280SL improved upon the earlier 230SL and 250SL by offering more performance through its 2.8L M130 inline‑six.

Finished in Grey Beige complimented by a color-matched removable hardtop, blue convertible soft top, and blue upholstery, this 4-speed manual ‘69 Pagoda features later-model 14” Bundt alloy wheels and an Aurora Designs factory radio upgrade with Bluetooth.

This example is also fitted with optional power-assisted steering and a factory air conditioning system. Standard 280SL features include Bosch mechanical fuel-injection and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.

This desirable manual transmission 280SL is now offered by the selling dealer in New Jersey with the removable hardtop, manufacturer’s literature, two service manuals, various spare parts, multiple keys, and a clean New Jersey title.
