This Beauty was born in August of 1972, and it was titled as a 1973 Model, making it one of the last W108 V8 models rolling of the production line!What makes this beauty special is that it is All Original car – Original Paint, Original Interior, and Original Drive Train!
Mercedes made only 8,173 280SEL 4.5 V8’s in period from May of 1971
until November of 1972, and this beauty is one of them! Also, 4.5 V8 was only offered to the North American Market, making it particularly desirable in Europe! Add the highly desirable automatic floor shifter to the mix, and you have a something that lots of collectors and Mercedes-Benz Enthusiasts are looking for!Its Original Dark Red (#542G Dunkelrot) paint has a very nice presence, and it makes this German Luxury Sedan look very elegant and timeless!
It still has a beautiful shine and luster, and just upon closer inspection you can notice some imperfections and blemishes in the paint (some paint cracking on top of the hood and front fenders – mainly because of engine heat and the
fact that paint is original and over 47 years old!). We could have painted the front end, but that would take away from its originality, patina and its overall beauty and the fact that Cars are original only once!Chrome is very nice and complete, with nice and healthy luster and this beautiful sedan is a head turner and conversation piece everywhere it goes.
This Mercedes is very solid, and its undercarriage is all original and unmolested! Body is also straight, and all doors, hood, and trunk are operating with ease, with everything lining up as it should. There is not a lot of 280SEL 4.5 V8’s out there in this solid, original and preserved condition! As Mercedes made only a little
bit over 8,100 of 4.5 V8 SEL’s, there is not a lot of them left period!
Add a rare floor gearshift option, and number of survivors is even smaller!Its original and elegant Black MB-Tex interior shows beautifully! Seats look great and are still comfortable and very supportive. Carpets and headliner are in great shape as well! Also importantly there are no cracks on the dash, and top of the door panels – trait of cars that spent majority of life on the hot sun with no protection! Only thing not original on the inside is updated CD-Player, with Satellite Radio option, which is actually not a bad thing as you can listen to plethora of your favorite tunes, while cruising down the road in this beauty!
-Engine Transmission4.5 Liter V8 Engine is strong and powerful as ever! Automatic Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through every gear and this German Yacht handles great, and it is very comfortable. Matching Tires are like brand new, with lots of thread and life left in them! Air Condition works as it should, and this Classic is ready for some fun cruises! There is nothing better than driving down the road in your Classic Mercedes-Benz! This beauty comes complete with its original maintenance books and manuals, original tool set, as well as the Original Temporary registration from the first owner who purchased it back on March 6th of 1973!Bottom line is that this is a very nicely kept, unmolested, original and complete Mercedes SEL, that has a lot of potential, making it a wonderful investment!
