Vehicle Description
Highlights Recent $5K+ comprehensive service completed in preparation for sale at H&M Autohaus Inc. , one of the premier independent Mercedes-Benz specialists in the Midwest. Acquired from a repeat Nuccio Auto Group customer , reflecting the kind of long-term relationships and enthusiast ownership we value. Rust-free example presented in exceptional cosmetic and mechanical condition. Includes 2 keys , original owner's manuals , paint-matched removable hardtop , and the factory hardtop removal/storage tool . One of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz roadsters ever built, the legendary W113 \"Pagoda\" , widely regarded as one of the finest classic Mercedes to own and drive. About The Mercedes-Benz W113 280 SL represents one of the most celebrated designs in automotive history. Produced from 1968-1971 as the final and most desirable evolution of the Pagoda series, the 280 SL combined timeless Paul Bracq styling with Mercedes engineering, a smooth fuel-injected inline-six, and exceptional build quality that made these cars equally at home on long-distance touring or weekend drives. Demand for exceptional W113 Pagodas has continued to grow as collectors appreciate their elegant styling, usability, reliability, and investment-grade desirability. Finding a rust-free, properly maintained example is becoming increasingly difficult, making cars like this especially appealing. We acquired this 280 SL from a repeat Nuccio Auto Group customer and immediately sent it to H&M Autohaus Inc. , one of the Midwest's most respected Mercedes-Benz specialty shops, for a thorough inspection and comprehensive service. Over $5,000 was invested to ensure the car is ready for its next caretaker. Recent Service & Mechanical Improvements A complete inspection was performed, followed by more than $5K in preventative maintenance and repairs, including: Correct Mercedes top-post Interstate battery installed New accessory belts , including alternator/water pump/fan belt and power steering belt All rubber brake hoses replaced Brake fluid flushed and braking system bled Front steering linkage rebuilt , including: Tie rod assemblies Center link Steering damper Axle guide rod Deteriorated fuel lines and clamps replaced for improved safety and reliability The inspection also verified numerous common Pagoda maintenance items, with the above repairs completed in preparation for the sale. Key Features & Included Accessories 2.8L Bosch fuel-injected inline-six Automatic transmission Legendary W113 \"Pagoda\" chassis Removable paint-matched factory hardtop Folding soft top 2 keys Original owner's manuals Factory hardtop removal/storage tool Fresh inspection and over $5,000 in recent Mercedes specialist servicing The W113 280 SL has long been considered one of Mercedes-Benz's greatest achievements - equally elegant, reliable, and enjoyable to drive over 50 years after it left Stuttgart. The combination of timeless styling, exceptional engineering, and increasing collector demand has made these cars blue-chip classics that continue to appreciate. Finding a rust-free , properly sorted Pagoda with documented recent specialist service is becoming increasingly uncommon. With over $5,000 recently invested at H&M Autohaus , outstanding presentation, and desirable accessories including the paint-matched hardtop, original manuals, factory hardtop removal tool, and 2 keys , this is the kind of W113 that can be driven and enjoyed immediately while remaining a standout addition to any collection. |
