										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is in overall great condition trimmed in Smoke Silver Metallic (factory color code 702) over a tan leather interior with the black soft top and color matching removable hard top. The 560SL is in great mechanical condition with the 5.6L V8 paired with to the four-speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes shows 51,000 miles, clean Carfax and is ready to be a frequent driver or take on the road touring.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The current owner acquired the Mercedes-Benz in February 2024 to enjoy with his wife for going out to dinner and weekend cruises. Due to life changes, they no longer tour with the Mercedes and are looking for the next steward. Prior registration history documented by Carfax places the car in Nevada from at least 2000 through 2016, followed by New Jersey from 2019 through 2022. Only 5,000 miles have been added to the Mercedes since 2016. The Carfax report shows no accidents, no structural damage, no airbag deployment, and no odometer discrepancies across its documented history.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The exterior of this 560SL is in overall excellent condition. The Smoke Silver Metallic paint is in excellent condition with only a couple of paint chips noted on close inspection which is appropriate to the age and mileage of the car. Chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition. The Mercedes has quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The factory removable color-matching hard top is present and in great condition, and the black soft top is also in great condition. The Mercedes has 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels with Pirelli 205/65R15 tires dated 2021. The Mercedes is a beautiful driver that is a great modern classic ready to enjoy!</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The interior of this 560SL is in excellent condition throughout. The tan leather upholstery is in excellent condition with no visible wear or damage across the bucket seats. Tan German fine tuft velour carpeting is in excellent condition and the hard top headliner is in excellent condition. Wood trim panels are in excellent condition, and the dashboard presents in excellent condition with no scratches, cracks or damage. Equipment includes functioning air conditioning, heater and defrost, cruise control, power windows, a Bluetooth-enabled stereo, and a functioning clock. The fog lights are currently not working. The interior is absolutely lovely and is in excellent condition overall.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Power is supplied by the original 5.6L V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with Bosch fuel injection and rear-wheel drive. This Mercedes has independent suspension at all four corners, limited slip differential and power assisted four-wheel disc brakes that are all in working order. Recent servicing by MB Motors in 2025 includes brake master cylinder replacement and oil system updates, as well as a new battery and AC service. This Mercedes is in overall great condition that will be enjoyed for many more miles to come.</p>
<p>A car cover and hard top cover are included with the sale.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="143" data-end="725">This is a beautiful 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL presented in Horizon Blue exterior with dark blue interior that is in excellent overall condition! The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL represents the final evolution of the W113 chassis and remains one of the most usable, elegant and coveted sporting convertibles of its era. This Mercedes has the strong 2.8L inline-six with four speed automatic transmission showing 8,915 miles believed to be rolled over to be 108,915 miles. This Pagoda features air conditioning, includes both soft and hard top, and has only resided in California. This is an ideal example for frequent drives, presenting at local shows and being a part of a curated collection.</p>
<p data-start="143" data-end="725">The Mercedes was purchased in May 1971 from Van Housen Motors in Sacramento making this a California “Blue-Plate” car. The Mercedes was originally purchased and continued to be owned by one family! The current owner&#8217;s former father-in-law purchased the Mercedes to be his daily driver and passion while he built the most premier men&#8217;s clothing store in Sacramento. Towards the end of his lifetime, the Mercedes was gifted to his son. The son and his wife cherished the Mercedes and completed the restoration together from 2011 to 2013. The Mercedes was serviced and restored by Stephens Service Center in Sacramento since 1993. Their design for the restoration was to be just below concours level but a high-quality beautiful restoration yet drivable for them to enjoy together while they resided in Napa Valley, California. His wife is the sole owner since he passed and is ready to see someone else enjoy the beloved family Mercedes to make their own beautiful memories.</p>
<p data-start="1241" data-end="1784">The two-tone exterior of the 280SL 022804 is finished in Horizon Blue (304 G) paired with a Midnight Blue removable Pagoda hard top (904 G) and a replaced stowable soft top of the same shade. The Mercedes was repainted (bare metal respray) with Horizon Blue paint when restored. The paint displays depth and consistency throughout remaining in excellent condition and the chrome trim is in excellent condition too. The windshield was replaced when restored with genuine Mercedes-Benz glass and remains in excellent condition. The hard top in Midnight Blue and dark blue softop are in excellent condition. Additional features include dual rearview mirrors, brand new thin-band whitewall tires, color-matched Mercedes hubcaps, and 14-inch steel wheels.</p>
<p data-start="1786" data-end="2342">Inside, the Mercedes features dark blue MB-Tex vinyl bucket seats in excellent condition paired with matching rolled-pile carpeting that remains in excellent overall condition. The interior features beautiful wood trim, a period correct Becker Europa II AM/FM stereo upgraded with an iPod connection, white steering wheel that matches an original option, and functional gauges. Desirable upgraded amenities include air conditioning and rear-window defrost for the hard top. The seating position, switchgear, and ergonomics reflect the thoughtful construction that made the 280SL one of the most respected grand touring roadsters of its time.</p>
<p data-start="2344" data-end="2936">Power is provided by the 2.8L inline-six producing approximately 180 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes has power steering, disc brakes all around, and dual exhaust. During its lifetime, this Mercedes has been cared for meticulously, proactively and underwent a no expense spared frame off restoration. Unless unavailable, parts were replaced with original factory parts. The engine was replaced with a factory rebuilt engine special ordered from Germany. Key items that were completed in its history including a rebuilt fuel injection pump, distributor replaced with a modern improved distributor that delivers three times the voltage but looks original, the radiator was rebuilt featuring a high efficiency core, and fully replaced air condition system including compressor, hoses, evaporator and condenser. The right front fender is missing the weld spots on the inner trim though we don&#8217;t have historical information on why or when that happened. After being kept in storage and driven infrequently, the Mercedes was fully inspected and serviced to be road ready in November 2025. The items most recently replaced were all four tires (Phoenix 185R14), battery, bushings, valve cover gaskets, fuel line and all fluids.  The Mercedes is fully sorted and is in great mechanical condition!</p>
<p data-start="2344" data-end="2936">This 280SL comes complete with original owner&#8217;s and service manuals, owner certificate card, new blue Coco floor mats, spare tire with cover in the trunk, partial service records, and four additional hubcaps.</p>
<p data-start="2938" data-end="3340">For more information and details, please call or text Kendi Brown at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at <a class="decorated-link cursor-pointer" rel="noopener" data-start="3038" data-end="3064">sales@classicpromenade.com</a>.

<p><span data-contrast="auto">The Mercedes was originally delivered to Montreal, Quebec Canada in November 1988. The 560SL was retained by a single owner between 2005 and 2025.  The odometer shows 136,000 kilometers (84,000 miles) believed original, supported by the accompanying service log, partial maintenance records, and ownership history. This 560SL offers its next owner both usability and collectability.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>

The dashboard, trim, and controls present well and are in great condition.

The engine bay presents cleanly and has benefitted from recommissioning in 2025 including new fuel pumps, fuel tank, air injection pump assembly, main engine computer and air conditioning recharge.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PRICED TO SELL!!  This is a wonderful example of a very early production 1971 Mercedes-Benz 350SL (titled as a 1972) in the classic colors of Signal Red with Black MB Tex upholstery.  Covering a mere 67k miles from new, this is in overall very nice condition.  This is the 1,932 SL produced worldwide and has many features that set it apart.  The 350SL has the same 4.5-liter engine as the 450SL, but was labeled as such for only the first year and has many unique features when compared to the second year 450SL.</p>
<p>This SL drives very well and has been very well maintained. This SL is complete with its tool roll and tools, owner&#8217;s manual, service manual, copy of the Factory Data Card, and original sales brochure.  The service history file is extensive and comes with the car.  The last owner added an aftermarket windscreen, which is a terrific feature.  This is a long-time Florida car that has been in Arizona for the past four years.</p>
<p>The car is finished in Signal Red (568H) and features a color-matched removable hardtop with a heated rear window as well as a black convertible canvas soft top that is in excellent condition. Equipment includes fog lights, dual chrome mirror caps, and dual exhaust outlets. The car was repainted under previous ownership and is great for a classic driver and can be shown at regional shows.</p>
<p>Recent refurbishment work included replacing the fuel pressure regulator, alternator, driver’s window mechanism, headlights, exhaust system, front shocks, steering linkage, rear axle seals, tires, soft-top window seals, engine and subframe mounts, and assorted air conditioning components. These are all essential long-term maintenance items that make the driving experience tight and nimble with no unwanted noises.</p>
<p>The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black MB-Tex that is in overall nice condition.  The carpeting is the original black carpeting in excellent overall condition with little to no wear and the normal fading.   Amenities include manual wind-up windows, an aftermarket stereo head unit, and air conditioning.  The driver’s seat bottom pad was replaced in December 2021 and the seatbelts and sun visors were refurbished.  At one point, the center console was replaced with a later, electric window model console, leaving it with two empty holes for the switches that have been covered over.</p>
<p>The air conditioning control knob, AC compressor, and receiver drier were replaced in 2024, and the system was charged with R134a refrigerant, and the heater core has been bypassed.  The air conditioning functions well, even in our 100-degree weather in Springtime here in Phoenix.</p>
<p>The 4.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, and work performed in December 2021 included replacing the exhaust system, engine mounts, and ignition points. Service in 2024 consisted of an oil change, installing an updated alternator and voltage regulator, repairing the positive battery cable, and replacing the battery and fuel pressure regulator. Steel 14″ wheels wear chrome covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in 205/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires with 2021 date codes. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. Work under current ownership included replacing the front shocks along with the steering stabilizer and linkage, drag links, tie-rod assemblies, and the front and rear subframe mounts.  Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The transmission and differential mounts were replaced along with the rear axle seals in December 2021, and the fluids were changed at that time.</p>
<p>We are offering this at a very strong value.  Hagerty has a No. 2 example at $40,800, which is where we would rate this 350SL.  See the value here: <a href="https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-tools/mercedes~benz/350sl/1972/1972-mercedes~benz-350sl">1972 Mercedes-Benz 350SL Base | Hagerty Valuation Tools</a></p>
<p>Decoding the data plate above reveals the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>246</strong> – Heated Rear Window Pane</li>
<li><strong>467</strong> – Central locking &amp; instruments with English lettering</li>
<li><strong>491</strong> – US Market</li>
<li><strong>513</strong> – Becker Europa Stereo</li>
<li><strong>580</strong> – Behr air conditioning</li>
<li><strong>568H –</strong> Signal Red paint</li>
</ul>
<p>This is an excellent opportunity to acquire and early 350SL, with low miles and in overall very nice condition.  This is titled in Arizona as a 1972, reflecting when it was sold new.</p>
<p>For more information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com.  This 350SL is available for inspection at our showroom in Phoenix.  We are pleased to coordinate inspections, and we help coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL California Coupe underwent approximately $44k of work in 2022, including a refresh of the interior, the installation of air conditioning, and replacement of the water pump, power steering pump, engine and subframe mounts, brake master cylinder, rear shocks, radiator, and oil cooler. It is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in Silver Gray Metallic over black leather. The car came equipped from the factory with the California Coupe option, which added rear bench seating in place of the soft top as well as a body-color removable hardtop. This W113 SL was acquired by the current owner in 2025 and is now offered on dealer consignment with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, service records, a copy of the data card, and a clean Arizona title, listing it as a 1971 model year.</p>
<p>The W113 SL was designed by Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq and was introduced to the public at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. This example is finished in Silver Gray Metallic (180) and was repainted some time ago. Features include a removable hardtop, a retractable antenna, a driver-side mirror, and US-specification headlights. The seller notes paint chips and blemishes on the body.</p>
<p>The 14″ steel wheels feature covers with painted centers and are mounted with 205/70 Michelin Defender tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted four-wheel discs. A replacement brake master cylinder was installed, the rear shocks replaced, and the steering system was refreshed in 2022.</p>
<p>Replacement black leather front bucket seats were installed in 2022, and additional work at that time included reupholstering the door panels, replacing the carpets and wood trim, and installing a Frigiking air conditioning system. An aftermarket stereo is fitted in the stock location. A rear bench came equipped as part of the California Coupe option.</p>
<p>The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 76k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.</p>
<p>The 2.8-liter M130 inline-six was factory equipped with Bosch fuel injection and was rated at 180 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque when new. Work in 2022 involved replacing the water pump, valve cover gasket, power steering pump, fuel hoses, engine mounts, radiator, oil cooler, and battery. An invoice from the work is provided in the gallery.</p>
<p>Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.</p>
<p>Decoding the copy of the data card provides the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>417</strong> – California coupe</li>
<li><strong>422</strong> – Power steering</li>
<li><strong>461</strong> – Instrument with mileage and English lettering</li>

</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is truly one of the nicest original 280SL&#8217;s available on the market today.  This very original and superbly documented 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL “Pagoda” had only one collector car owner from new until 2018, a full 50 years of ownership. Having amassed a mere 33,000 miles from new, this is one of the best original 280SLs extant.  Presented today in its rare, data card correct original paint color of 291 Dark Olive Green over an impressively well-kept original 140 Cognac MB Tex interior, all original books and tools, original owner aluminum data plate and an extensive history file including original purchase invoice and window sticker.  If you are looking to add an investment grade W113 to your collection, this is one to seriously consider.  (For more details, please see the 241 photos and four videos on the Classic Promenade website)</p>
<p>This 280SL was bought new on the 5<sup>th</sup> of November 1968 by Dr. George Geanekopulos from Ed Potter, Inc, the local Mercedes-Benz dealer in Columbus, OH.  Dr. George traded in his 1965 Mustang Convertible toward the purchase of the Mercedes.  Dr. George was a noted collector of cars and practiced dentistry in Columbus for 45 years.  He retained the 280SL within his collection for 50 years, until it was sold upon his passing on the 13<sup>th</sup> of October 2018.  It is now presented with 33,082 miles from new and nearly all original except one excellent repaint and normal service.</p>
<p>This 280SL comes complete with all of its pristine original tools in the correct original tool roll, its original owner’s manuals, original service booklet with aluminum data plate showing Dr. George as its owner, original warranty card, factory data card, original Kangol seat-belt instructions, the original window sticker and sales invoice and a stack of receipts from new.  As an investment grade Pagoda, this is very well documented in all respects.</p>
<p>The livery is in concours-ready condition in its Dark Olive Green (Paint Code 291).  The paint is nearly perfect condition with a few very small imperfections that are only noticeable upon very close inspection (which is our role).  The body panel fit is perfect and all the important inspections for Pagoda’s check out: the spot welds in the engine compartment, the VIN stamp in the hood and hardtop, the notches in the headlight area, even the date code of July 1968 is revealed on the trunk seal.  Service stickers are still proudly displayed on the driver’s door from 1969 and 1970.  This 280SL is a proverbial time capsule.  The chrome and stainless-steel trim are all in excellent original condition.  The present owner had a Mercedes-Benz dealer install a new correct windshield and seals to add to the cars concours quality presentation.</p>
<p>The interior is also in nearly perfect original condition, with its original Cognac MB Tex (Trim Code 140) in excellent condition.  The dashboard, instruments, steering wheel and carpet are also fantastic.  The wood trim is also in excellent condition.  As you would expect, all of the instrument’s work as new and the Becker Europa AM/FM radio also works well.  It still has its original Hirshman antenna.  The original black soft-top is securely stowed under its compartment.  Incredibly, it has not shrunk and was easy to close.  It is in wonderful original condition but obviously is showing patina.  The hardtop is also in nearly perfect original condition, including the headliner and wood trim.</p>
<p>The engine compartment is also beautifully detailed and ready to show.  The original firewall pad is in gorgeous condition, which reflects the care this 280SL received throughout its life.  The 2.8-liter SOHC 6-Cylinder Engine has 170 bhp with its Bosch Mechanical Multi-Port Fuel Injection.  This 280SL performs brilliantly and our driving videos show you the wonderful power of this venerable powerplant.  Its Four-Speed Automatic Gearbox shifts perfectly at all speeds and conditions without any hesitation or unwanted noises.  Its Four-Wheel Disc Brakes inspire confidence in all conditions, feeling much like a newer Mercedes.  Recent work included the installation of a new stainless-steel exhaust system and Bilstein shocks.</p>
<p>For more information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda is available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 600 (W100) SWB that has a documented 37,000 miles from new and has been maintained with no limitation on investment.  Rarely does one see a 600 SWB that has all of its intricate components working well as well as spectacular cosmetic condition.  Its original interior is striking and further supports the originality of this <em>Grand Mercedes</em>.  This is just one of 323 made for the global market.</p>
<p>This 600 was tested by Mercedes for its initial 300 miles and had its factory break-in service performed on February 6th, 1966.  Its initial delivery was on June 23, 1966.  By August 1966 the 600 had accumulated 4,083 miles and was enjoyed by its first owner and serviced at the Mercedes dealer in North Carolina.   By June 2, 1968, the Mercedes had its second owner Bill Schomaker, who lived in Jacksonville, Florida and then later in Colorado.  The 600 received regular service at Autohaus Benz, Inc. in Jacksonville.  Mr. Schomaker later moved to Colorado and placed the 600 into storage.  By June 27th, 2013, the 600 had been recommissioned by Gunbarrel Import Motors in Niwot, CO with an investment in mechanical work of $82,484.  We have the detailed receipts for this recommissioning.  Mr. Schomaker enjoyed the 600 for five decades until it was acquired by its present owner, Bradley Huson of Washington State on March 15th, 2018.</p>
<p>Mr. Huson has updated the mechanical restoration with a complete engine rebuild at a cost of about $50,000, wood restoration by Madera Concepts ($17,000) and the rebuilding of most all of the hydraulic systems including the doors, windows, sunroof and more.  Also, the suspension systems have been properly rebuilt.</p>
<p>The exterior is finished in the rare Dark Blue (Paint Code DB332) and the paint quality is excellent.  The shine and luster are fantastic.  There are a few very small dings on an otherwise show quality livery.  The chrome and stainless steel are all refinished as needed and in excellent condition.  The exterior is simply gorgeous, with a mixture of elegance and power that only the 600 had achieved.</p>
<p>The interior is largely original with its Dark Blue leather interior and complementary Dark Blue wool carpeting.  Mr. Huson added Dark Blue and Black Coco Mats that are period correct, look great and are very practical.  The refinished wood is simply stunning and looks most likely better than new.  The interior chrome is all in excellent condition.  Overall, the interior is gorgeous with only slight creasing mostly on the front seat from its minimal wear during the past 58 years.</p>
<p>The engine compartment is well detailed and reflects a nearly unlimited investment in service and maintenance.  The venerable 6.3-liter V8 produces 250 hp and is paired with its Bosch fuel injection and its four-speed automatic transmission.  The engine and all major suspension and hydraulic systems have all been rebuilt and is all working as it should.  The 126-inch wheelbase and the air suspension system create an unparalleled ride with excellent handling characteristics.  When the car is first driven, the transmission shifts aggressively and as it warms up, it smooths out.</p>
<p>This is one of the nicest 600 SWB examples available on the market.  This 600 comes complete with its original data cards, owners and service manuals, radio manuals and over a decade of detailed service receipts.  We have this priced to sell.  The Hagerty No. 2 value is $238,000.  See the valuation here: <a href="https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-tools/mercedes~benz/600/1966/1966-mercedes~benz-600">1966 Mercedes-Benz 600 Base | Hagerty Valuation Tools</a></p>
<p>For more information and details, call, text or email Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or sales@classicpromenade.com.  See our 120 photos and three videos on our website to learn more.  This Rolls is available for viewing at our Phoenix showroom.  We are pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help coordinate shipping worldwide.  We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mercedes-Benz S Class was once referred to as “Sonderklasse” or “Special Class”. This 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet is certainly special. It is a gorgeous, well optioned, low mileage, dealer-maintained example of the largest and most luxurious convertible offered by Mercedes. The performance capabilities of its 449-hp twin-turbo V-8 combined with its ultra luxurious refinements make this a joy to drive.</p>
<p>This beautiful S550 Cabriolet began life in August of 2016 as a dealer vehicle at Bloomington Normal Auto Mall in Normal, IL. It was acquired by its first owner in March of 2018 through Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn. By January of 2023, our good friend and client Fred Marcus of El Paso, TX acquired the Cabriolet from Mercedes-Benz of San Antonio in San Antonio, TX. Mr. Marcus has owned numerous Mercedes and a variety of automobiles and is known for the care and maintenance of his collection.</p>
<p>This Cabriolet’s livery is stunning in Selenite Gray Metallic with beautiful luster and shine and shows nearly as new. The beautiful Burgundy canvas convertible cloth top is a gorgeous complement to the gray metallic livery. The convertible top will open or close in 20 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph and is nearly new in appearance. The top may also be operated using the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob. This Cabriolet comes complete with the optional 20” cast wheels which are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero radials. The exterior of this S550 is in gorgeous condition as would be expected from a dealer maintained, 25,000-mile example.</p>
<p>The interior is as beautiful as the exterior in this true four-seater convertible. Upholstered in diamond stitched black Napa leather, the seats are sumptuous and beautifully finished. The piano black wood accents along with the instrument cluster and countless details make the interior something to behold. This Designo Edition Cabriolet is well optioned with the amazing $6,400 Burmester audio system and the $3,500 Premium Package which includes massage seats, surround-view camera and heads up display. The overall interior is in near new condition throughout.</p>
<p>The engine compartment is in beautiful condition overall as expected from a low mileage, dealer-maintained example. This Cabriolet comes with an intercooled, DOHC, 449 hp, twin turbo V-8 which propels this S550 from 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels through its 9-speed automatic transmission which operates flawlessly.</p>
<p>This gorgeous Cabriolet comes complete with the Operator’s Manual, the glove compartment Cross pen and the CARFAX report.</p>
<p>For more information and details, please call or text Harry Clark at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. This S550 Cabriolet is available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help coordinate shipping worldwide.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a recently serviced and beautiful example of the classic 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL that performs as well as it looks.  This is fully optioned example with its soft top, the famous Pagoda styled hardtop, factory air conditioning and automatic transmission and comes complete with its tools, owner&#8217;s manual and data card. It is also the final year of the W113 production, making this the most desirable year. This is a rust-free example and would be a welcome addition to any collection.</p>
<p>The Pagodas are a touring and show favorite and in more demand now than ever before due to their engineering breakthroughs such as 4-wheel disc brakes and numerous safety innovations.  Perhaps more importantly, the W113 series SLs drive much like a modern car and are relatively reliable.  This series make for fantastic modern classics for weekly use.</p>
<p>The stunning design has kept the Pagodas on the top 10 best automotive design lists for decades. The inline-six, 4-speed automatic transmission, power steering and air conditioning make it a joy to drive.  This Pagoda is one of just 277 US delivery cars produced in 1971, the final year of production. Mr. Fred Marcus of El Paso, TX acquired the Pagoda in 2021 from a California dealership and has had it recently fully serviced. Mr. Marcus is an avid collector and is known for the high level of care and maintenance of his collection.</p>
<p>This 280SL is presented today in its original and correct color combinations.  The livery of this 280 SL is an older repaint in its original white (Paint Code 050) having beautiful luster and shine overall.  There are several small scratches that are only noticeable upon close inspection.  The chrome shows well overall with just a few minor imperfections in high use areas. There is a more noticeable small dent in the front grill.  The color-matched white and chrome wheel covers show well and are wrapped in General GT Altimax Radials. The removable Pagoda hardtop is a gorgeous complement to the white livery and is finished in tobacco brown (Paint Code 423) with a beautiful luster and shine. The hardtop headliner does show some wear but is in nice overall condition. The exterior of the tobacco-colored German sailcloth soft top is in very nice condition overall. The interior of the cloth top does show some water stains and minor material separations. The exterior of this 280 SL is in overall beautiful condition and is ready to tour and show.</p>
<p>The beautiful MB-Tex tan interior is in very nice condition overall.  The seats have been refinished correctly in tan and the dash and wood trim are in nice overall condition.  The lighter tan carpet has also been replaced and is close to as-new condition. The gauges are all functioning as designed including the clock. The Frigiking air conditioning unit is in nice condition and works well. The radio is a newer Bluetooth unit, but the original Becker AM/FM radio accompanies the car. The interior of this Pagoda is in nice condition and shows well.</p>
<p>The engine compartment is home to the wonderfully performing and high-revving 2.8 Liter, 180 hp, Bosch fuel injected inline six-cylinder motor. The engine compartment has been well detailed and shows beautifully overall. The 2.8 Liter power is transferred to the rear wheels through its 4-speed automatic transmission. This SL also benefits from power steering and power assisted four-wheel disc brakes.</p>
<p>This 280 SL comes complete with the owner&#8217;s manuals (with pouch), complete tool kit with its tool roll, a copy of its factory data card, spare tire with its original unused Phoenix radial, jack, tire iron, original Becker AM/FM radio (in its box) and several recent service and repair records. The engine compartment has the correct spot welds for the fenders and the hardtop and hood have the correct chassis number identifiers.  This collectable and beautifully designed Pagoda would fit well in most any automotive collection.</p>
<p>We have this beautiful 280SL priced well.  The Hagerty Value is $149,000 for a No. 2 Condition example and $95,200 for a No. 3 Condition example (after adjusting for AC).  This is what we would call a 2-.  See the details here: <a href="https://www.hagerty.com/valuation-tools/mercedes~benz/280sl/1971/1971-mercedes~benz-280sl">1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Base | Hagerty Valuation Tools</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SALE PENDING to Connecticut!  This 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL is a very well-maintained Seattle area car since new. With a beautiful re-paint 10-years ago and driven a mere 500 miles since, the paint has stunning luster with nearly no imperfections. The original leather interior shows very well overall and needs nothing. The canvas top appears as near new, and this 450 SL comes complete with not one, but two removable hard-tops to easily and completely change the look of the car, if desired.</p>
<p>This Mercedes has spent its entire life in the Seattle area. The original owner enjoyed the 450 SL for approximately two years before Sylvia Gillison acquired the car in 1976. Ms. Gillison owned the Mercedes for 36 years until it was acquired by her dear friend, Bradley Huson, in 2012. Mr. Huson commissioned a bare metal respray in the original exterior color, Light Gray, and has driven the Mercedes approximately 500 miles since the repaint. The 450 SL has been very well maintained throughout its life and Mr. Huson has continued to make numerous small repairs and updates to the car during his ownership.</p>
<p>The livery is a stunning Light Gray (Paint Code 34392) with beautiful luster and shine. The paint appears nearly as new due to the low mileage this Mercedes has been driven since the bare metal repaint. The five wheel covers (there is an extra) are also painted in matching Light Gray. The white wall tires complement the wheel covers and exterior paint well. The chrome is in nice condition with very few imperfections in high-use areas and only noticeable upon close inspection. A very nice feature of this 450 is it comes complete with two removable hard tops. One is a beautiful matching Light Gray. The second is a black and white hounds tooth pattern that is very unique and in beautiful condition. Also included is the black canvas top that is in nearly new condition and complements the black leather interior well. The soft top boot is also in very nice condition. The trunks is very clean and appears to be rarely utilized. The overall exterior of the Mercedes is in beautiful overall condition and is ready to be enjoyed.</p>
<p>The interior is original and in beautiful condition. The upholstery is finished in soft black leather and shows minimal wear throughout. The dash is in very nice condition along with the instrument panels and gauges. All function as designed. The dark gray carpet shows little wear and is nice condition due to continued use of floor mats. This 450 is well optioned including air conditioning, power windows and a Becker Europa Stereo. Overall, the interior shows beautifully and is testament to how well this Mercedes has been cared for over the past 50 years.</p>
<p>The engine compartment has been nicely detailed and painted and is in very nice condition overall. The 4.5 Liter V-8, fuel injected, SOHC engine runs beautifully and produces 225 hp at 5,000 rpm and is capable of reaching speeds over 130 mph. The power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission that performs well and shifts quietly. The chassis is clean and rust free.</p>
<p>This 450 comes complete with the Owner’s Manual, Owner’s Service and Warranty Policy, Owner’s Emissions Systems Manual, Star Classic Service Manual Library CD, Directory of Mercedes-Benz Dealers in the United States and several parts and service invoices. This 450 SL is a beautiful example and would be a perfect addition to any collection to be driven and enjoyed for years to come.</p>
