1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL for Sale in Colorado

This is one of the approximately 23,885 Mercedes-Benz 280SL "Pagoda" roadsters built during the final five years of the W113 series' production run (1967–1971); this specific 1970 example dates from the model's last three years, just prior to its replacement by the R107 series. It features the four-speed manual transmission—one of the most sought-after configurations, as manual models tend to command significantly higher values ​​than the far more common automatics. The vehicle is equipped with the optional limited-slip differential (LSD)—a feature confirmed by the car's data card that enhances handling and is preferred by enthusiasts who favor a dynamic driving style. The 2.8-liter M130 inline-six engine was removed, cleaned, and fully overhauled; this process included cylinder boring, cylinder head resurfacing, and the installation of a refurbished camshaft. The restoration is complemented by tasteful, period-appropriate upgrades: a Bluetooth-enabled "123ignition" distributor, Bilstein shock absorbers, a rebuilt braking system, and a Timevalve stainless steel exhaust system with chrome tips.
