This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE sedan is finished in dark brown over a beige vinyl interior and was acquired by the seller in late 2020. Power comes from a fuel-injected 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and additional features include air conditioning, a Becker Europa push-button AM/FM radio, a power antenna, power windows, and a chrome grill, bumpers, and side-view mirrors.
The exterior is finished in dark brown, and features include a fender-mounted automatic antenna, dual exhaust tips, and a chrome grill surround, beltline trim, side-view mirrors, and bumpers.
The 14” steel wheels wear polished hubcaps with body-color centers and are wrapped in 205/75 Nexen N’Priz AH5 tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The cabin is trimmed in Parchment MB-Tex with matching door panels and carpets as well as a brown dashboard with woodgrain trim. Equipment includes an under-dash air conditioner, a Becker Europa push-button AM/FM radio, and power windows. The plastic on the driver-side floor mat is peeling, and the column-mounted shifter boot is cracked.
The black 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 oil pressure, fuel level, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 98k miles, approximately 800 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.8-liter M130 inline-six features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 157 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed automatic transmission.
