1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with 2 topsIntroducing this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with 2 tops, recently brought out of a dry Arizona desert climate. Known as the "Pagoda" due to the distinctive shape of its removable hardtop, the W113-series 280SL remains one of Mercedes-Benz's most recognizable postwar designs. Note, this Mercedes-Benz was originally delivered from the factory in Midnight Blue (904) over a Parchment interior. Highlights:- Factory Color: Midnight Blue- Interior Color: Parchment- Inline-Six Engine- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes- Bosch Mechanical Fuel Injection- Convertible Soft Top- Removable Hardtop- Center Console- Chrome Accents- VDO Instrumentation- Becker Europa RadioEquipment includes an inline-six engine, Bosch mechanical fuel injection, four-wheel disc brakes, a convertible soft top, a removable hardtop, chrome trim, chrome bumpers with overriders, steel wheels, Mercedes-Benz hubcaps, and a full-size spare tire in the trunk.
