1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Project

This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, currently located in Osprey, Florida, United States, is a unique project vehicle that retains its original charm from the era of classic automotive craftsmanship. Known as the "gullwing" SL due to its distinctive hardtop design, this rare find once belonged to its first owner for nearly four decades before being acquired by a dealer in 2025. While it retains a significant presence with its iconic shape and timeless lines, this particular automobile presents an opportunity for enthusiasts due to various mechanical issues, including lower compression on one of the cylinders of its 2.8-liter inline-six engine, paired with signs of rust and other non-functional components. Despite these challenges, any dedicated admirer willing to invest time and resources into its resurrection will be rewarded with a true piece of vintage Mercedes-Benz history, boasting an unmistakable silhouette that stands out among both modern and historical vehicles alike.
