1969 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 280SL Pagoda Roadster Description

Rare 4-speed manual transmission German Euro model with only two owners. I purchased the vehicle from the original German owners in Sedona, Arizona for my wife as a first wedding anniversary present. I was informed that the original owners imported the vehicle in 1972 without U.S. conversion. I was told that the couple's main residence was in Germany, and that they only used the car on occasion when staying at their second home in Sedona. The vehicle is an all original, unmolested Pagoda with original chrome, and gauges in kilometers. There are 125,333 km on the car- the equivalent to 79,535 miles. The car has the original windshield with original stickers from Germany (pictured). Also note that the U.S. license plate is attached on top of the German license plate, so that no additional holes were drilled into the body of the car (pictured). The original German plate will be provided in the sale. The vehicle has always been garage stored in Arizona, eliminating rust potential. It has been well maintained, and has over thirteen pages of service records. The vehicle recently received an entirely new muffler system and the power steering pump was recently rebuilt. It has a soft top, as well as the well sought after original hard top (hard top storage stand will be included in sale- pictured). It is extremely difficult to source an original Pagoda in this condition. Please contact John at 480.352.3688 with any questions.
