1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL for Sale in CT

This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is one of the most desirable Pagoda models, representing the last production year with only 830 examples built. Finished in its original factory colors of red over cognac, as confirmed by the data card, this matching-numbers car has undergone a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration performed by a marque specialist for personal use. The restoration encompassed the engine, suspension, transmission, drivetrain, and rear end, as well as complete cosmetic work including a full interior, wood trim, chrome, original radio, and both the soft and hard tops, with the soft top replaced by a correct German unit. European headlights complement the stunning red exterior. Every detail was addressed during the restoration, with the interior appearing brand new and all surfaces carefully refinished. The rebuilt engine and drivetrain ensure that the car drives like a brand-new 280SL.
