This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 is finished in Metallic Blue over Parchment leather upholstery and is powered by a 4.5-liter M117 V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, wood trim, power windows, air conditioning, and 14″ alloy wheels. The car is believed to have originally been sold in Michigan, where it was acquired by the seller in 2016.
Originally finished in Blue Metallic (396), the car was reportedly refinished under previous ownership. Equipment includes a chrome grille, trim, and bumpers.
Silver 14″ alloy wheels are mounted with 215/70 Sumitomo HTR tires with 2010 date codes. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes, and the seller reports that the front brake calipers and pads were replaced in 2019.
The cabin features Parchment leather-upholstered seats along with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes power windows, wood veneer trim, rubber floor mats, and a Becker Mexico AM/FM/cassette stereo. The seller reports that the rear seat has been reupholstered, and the dashboard and window trim have been refinished. The air conditioning does not work, and the seller states that the HVAC selectors stick.
The two-spoke steering wheel wears a chrome horn ring and frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a combination gauge for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 14k miles.
The 4.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
