Description

The R107 took the chassis components of the mid size Mercedes-Benz W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class. The SL variant was a 2-seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top and hardtop and optional folding seats for the rear bench. From July, 1974 both SL and SLC could also be ordered with a fuel-injected 2.8L straight-6 as 280 SL and SLC. In 1976, the 280SL was not offered for sale in the United States. These cars are very hard to find with only imported cars here in the states. The Euro or Standard cars don't have the protruding bumpers in the front and rear which give the car a sleeker, cleaner look. This particular car is a 60,000 original mile car that is a rarely seen classic that comes with both soft top and hard top as well as AMG accents which really sets it off from the rest. This car was imported in November of 1984 by a Mike Owens as it states on the import tag. The paint on the car appears to be all original and in very good condition overall with no major imperfections. The same goes for the soft top that goes up and down with no issues. The front and rear bumpers are both in great condition and retain a great shine and luster. The rubber is equally as nice with no major damage. Inside, the black leather is in wonderful condition with no major imperfections. No rips, tears or scuffs to be found on the seats. The wood is in good overall condition with only some very minor cracking as you can see in the photos. There has been an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player installed. Under the hood the twin overhead cam six cylinder runs great. The car feels as it has just as much horsepower as its V8 counterparts but will be saving you hundreds of dollars in gas. The engine compartment is very clean and original with no damage to be found. The trunk is solid and includes a full size spare. VIN number is 10704212001708 and the car is being sold on a clean Missouri title showing the previous owner has had the car since 2006. Mileage currently shows 60,978 and is said to be actual for the car.
