280C

Description for Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 1973

Running and driving west coast 280C with original color scheme and CHROME BUMPERS!
Purchased new by a Beverly Hills Leasing agency, nd maintained on Wilshire Blvd.
this car began life quite pampered and has been well preserved over the years.
It is a Pacific Coast car, ith it's life documented as spent between L.A. & Washington state.
Designed by Citroen chief designer Paul Bracq, his coupe was not the hit his convertible SL series was.
Mr. Bracq still flies to California for our annual Monterey Car Week, nd is a judge.
The 280C asking price in 73 was 11,500. when the Eldorado and Mark IV hovered around 8000.
Even with gasoline a concern that year, t could not compete with the hard to park, mpg Americans.
Not a rust bucket as it would be in mid-west or east. There are a few little bubbles and spots
but one really has to search. No holes or cancer seen, nd floors are great. Original carpet.
All power windows work, ipers, og lamps, ighter, LOCK!, love box light, br>rear passenger light, ll of this still works fine! Cozy wings work perfect. Leave it to the Germans
and mild central coast vineyard climate, car can last and last.
What have we had done to it this year?
New: Tires, lugs, rake booster assist, aster cylinder, rake lines, rake shoes and rotors,
fuel filter, omputer module, oil, iper blades, attery. Not a car to sit idle, his is a dbl. overhead
cam inline 6 cylinder which truly likes to be driven and is happy in town or on freeways, ut happiest going 30-80mph.
It is a cheap to insure, table investment. Sought after because the 280C's after it have big ugly rubber bumpers
much like MG & Triumph were forced to switch to simultaneously.
If I can answer anything not in the ad, eel free to call me, 19.534.6403.
Car is located in zip 95012, nd can be driven away or onto a truck. Hugh
