About this vehicle
This exceptionally clean in/out 1977 rust free Mercedes-Benz 280 SE (W116) was always garage kept and is a meticulously restored vehicle from the bottom up that has been in the owner's possession for 25 years. This classic car in its original vibrant 'yellow/tan' color runs exceptionally smoothly, making it a reliable and enjoyable daily driver. A vintage vehicle such as this (never in an accident) is rarely found in this noticeably impressive and outstanding condition. With only 140,000 original miles on the odometer, this meticulously maintained vehicle is a testament to quality and craftsmanship of its era. There are absolutely NO leaks, etc. in/out. Sunroof works perfectly; no leaks, etc. Its original quartz clock still works perfectly and remains perfectly accurate! The original tobacco brown carpeting remains in impressive condition due to the lifetime's protection of the floor mats. The leather seats front/rear remain in excellent condition. A OEM factory option protective rubber trunk mat is included. This is truly a very special, carefully restored, and structurally sound classic vehicle. Many valuable upgraded improvements have been added such as new wiring throughout, new fuel lines, new brake lines and newly installed (rare hard to find) new OEM replacement parts, new OEM internal/external rubber bushings, digital LED climate control system upgrade, amber fog lights, new OEM exhaust system, backup sensor, remote keyless entry operate all 4 electric door actuators/locks, refinished custom wood grain steering wheel, all four finest quality Michelin tires, refinished OEM factory alloy wheels, new wheel alignment, new oem muffler, original cruise control, new JVC Bluetooth AM/FM CD player sound system with 4 new (2 front/2 rear) speakers + amplifier; even its original factory Hirschmann electric antenna works like new. Rare OEM locking gas cap with keys. All dashboard lightbulbs work perfectly; new bulbs were recently installed. All cluster guages work perfectly and accurately. All of these valueable and noteable extras contribute to a remarkably improved and reliable classic vintage vehicle that truly needs no additional restoration, work, etc. There are no hidden "surprises." This vehicle's original engine has never overheated, even in the hottest summer weather and with the air conditioning (cold!) on. The engine starts immediately and reliably even in the coldest winter weather. All original matching factory numbers remain throughout. The entire undercarriage has protective undercoating. *This vehicle runs, drives and handles like brand new. No squeaks or rattles. Nothing additional needs to be done. Several sets of duplicate keys are included with the sale. Original owner's factory stamped metal nameplate, original dealership paperwork, sales catalog, factory service manual/booklets, original parts catalog booklet, etc. and several OEM Mercedes-Benz factory repair manuals, practical electrical diagrams, etc. are also included plus many extras.
