1985 Mercedes 280SL EURO R107 Convertible 5 Speed MANUAL Transmission

1985 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 280SL R107 Convertible EURO 5 Speed Manual Additional Info:

Here is the chance to own one of the most beautiful roadsters and history changing models that Mercedes-Benz ever made - 1985 Mercedes Benz 280SL R107 Roadster!!! 1985 was also the last year of production for the 280SL R107 Model!

What makes this SL Special is that this is TRUE EUROPEAN model, featuring more elegant short European bumpers, and it is equipped with a bulletproof Straight 6 Cylinder 2.8L M110 engine matted to a rare and desirable 5-Speed Manual Transmission!!!

The majority of 280SL’s that were equipped with a manual transmission were a 4 speed, and only a handful of later production 280SL’s were equipped with a 5 Speed manual gearbox, and a higher ratio 3.92 rear differential, making it a great highway cruiser!

About the car:

This SL has been sitting since 2007. Before it was parked, it was running and driving, and the previous owner used it as his daily driver before he started experiencing some health issues.

Unfortunately, he left it sitting outside under the cover, and weather and time did their toll on this beauty, and it will need a full restoration.

This Mercedes is all complete and engine spins freely (please see the video below)

Rear brake calipers were removed, so it rolls and steers without issues.

Body is straight, but the floors are rusted out and will need to be replaced. All sheet-metal parts, including the floor boards are readily available for these cars, and they are not very expensive to get!K&K manufacturing offers all sheet metal replacement parts at very good prices (http://www.kkmfg.com/index.php )

All in all this is a very complete SL that can make a very nice and fun project, and great return on your investment! It deserves to be restored and put back on the road again!!!

Just the set of small chrome Euro Bumpers are selling for $2,000, used M110 engine sells for $4,500, 5-speed manual transmission sells for over $6,000 on eBay (there is only one manual 5 speed transmission for sale at the moment)!!! You already have over $12,000 in just above-mentioned parts let alone the rest of the car, rear differential, interior and many other valuable parts!

This SL has potential, and it will yield great return on your time and money!!
