My 'New' Oldest Acquisition
1969 280SL Automatic W113
Original everything:
Radio
Seats
Pagoda hard top
Soft top
Paint
Wheels
Rear California Bench Seat
All service bills
Original spare
Has white wall tires
82K original miles
Unbelievable piano key white that just illuminates with rich caramel interior
(Not actual car)
I'm so so happy to be picking it up tomorrow. Crazy story how I got it lol. I'm 22 and have had some Mercedes-Benz's before. The AMG CL I'm modifying right now is one of the coolest looking Mercedes I have ever seen. So I'm accustomed to nice MB's. But this old school SL......just pure beautiful class. I can't wait. I drove it today and fell in love! They don't build them like they used to.
Red and white have always been the nicest looking colors to me on this car.
Here's Jeremy clarkson's review of the 280SL:

I'll post pics when I get it . I plan on doing some slight modding. Maybe, just maybe HIDs, LED lights for the markers and license plate lights. They wood glow the car lol. Old school steering wheel and a way i can play my music. Not much you can do to improve them visually
