This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 was reportedly sold new by Sutherland Imports of Spokane, Washington, and is said to have remained registered in the state until it was purchased by the seller in 2019. Finished in Light Ivory over a blue interior, the car is powered by a 4.5-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a dark blue-painted roof, air conditioning, electric windows, an electric sunroof, and an aftermarket CD player.
The car was finished from the factory in Light Ivory (670) and features a dark blue-painted roof. Equipment includes US-market quad headlights, dual mirrors, and chrome double-layer bumpers. The seller notes that the front fenders and hood were repainted under prior ownership.
Stock 14″ steel wheels wear full covers with color-matched centers as well as Michelin Defender tires showing 2013 date codes. A spare tire is housed in the trunk.
The seats are trimmed in blue upholstery and are joined by matching carpets as well as wood dash trim. Amenities include air conditioning, three-point front seatbelts, a power sunroof and windows, and an aftermarket Pioneer CD player with USB and auxiliary inputs.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows just under 15k miles.
The fuel-injected 4.5-liter M117 V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The most recent service was reportedly performed in April 2021.
