Featured on AutoHunter is this restored 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, which has a Bosch fuel-injected 2.8-liter I6 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver and equipped with a black convertible top over a black vinyl interior, this W113 SL is now offered by the private seller in Illinois with service records, spare tools, a jack, and a clear title.
The silver body of this SL features chrome bumpers with black guards, chrome brightwork, a driver-side mirror, and a pair of rear exhaust finishers on the passenger side. A black soft top with a plastic rear window protects the passenger compartment from bad weather; it can be stored under a body-color tonneau cover.
A set of 14-inch wheels with Mercedes-branded covers and 185/75 Milestar Touring whitewall radial tires help this SL cruise down roads and boulevards.
The cabin offers black vinyl bucket seating for two. Surrounding features range from power steering, woodgrain trim, and air conditioning to a Becker Europa AM/FM stereo and Craig/Pioneer 8-track player.
Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, and displays for the oil pressure, temperature, and fuel level. The odometer shows 74,631 miles, but the title for this vehicle indicates it’s mileage-exempt.
Under the front-hinged hood is a 2.8-liter I6 equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, which helped it achieve factory ratings of 170 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque (both net). The M130 engine’s output reaches the road through a four-speed automatic transmission and a 4.08:1 rear end. Power disc brakes keep this SL on the right path.
