Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, power windows, power steering, power brakes, Becker Grand Prix AM-FM, body color accented wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, headrest seats, air conditioning.

Condition

Sound clearcoat repaint with some bodyshop flaws. Very good fresh upholstery, trim, carpets, instruments and dashboard burl wood facing. Dashtop wood is done but not very well. Underbody is original and very good for its age.

Market commentary

The 280SE six is forty horsepower down on its V8 counterpart 280 SE 3.5, but the difference in performance is unlikely to be noticed the way these cars are used today. And 160hp isn't exactly chopped liver. The Ft. Lauderdale bidders recognized the trade-off and accorded this sound and competently presented 280SE Cab with a superior price.
