1973 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 4.5L

All-original California car purchased from a collector in Los Angeles. Wonderfully well-preserved with all original paint. original seats. original Becker radio; everything on this car has been meticulously maintained and unaltered. making it a rare gem. Even the pre-shipment papers from the factory and original Continental tire has been maintained. Originally purchased in 1973 in San Jose. California. and has been a California car since. currently in Los Angeles; this is especially desirable because extremely limited quantities of these cars were made in 1973. the final year of production. adding a highly desirable premium. The original light blue-beige color combination is also extremely rare as only 10% of light blue models came with beige interiors (rest came in navy blue). Purchased recently and engine fully serviced and carefully maintained and checked up on. new engine cooling system installed to avoid overheating problems that plague older cars. Upholstery is in perfect condition except for a tear in the back seat. which is a minor cosmetic issue that can be easily fixed cheaply. Runs and drives beautifully. AC works well. Engine is strong with 66. 00 original miles. I have driven this car for hours on the freeway with no problems whatsoever; it's never given me a problem.
