About this car
This 1970 280SL is offered on eBay by beverlyhillscarclub in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $54,500. The car is finished in Red over Cognac, an automatic gearbox. The listing does not state a mileage. As with any Pagoda, the floors, sills and spare-wheel well deserve a close look for rust, and the soft-top frame and hardtop seals are worth checking.
What the photos show
- Photos are watermarked Beverly Hills Car Club stock #19635, the dealer's own set for this red-over-tan Pagoda.
- Red paint is bright and glossy with straight panels, bright chrome and matching red hubcaps, so no exterior cosmetic spend shows.
- Black soft top looks fresh and tight with a reasonably clear rear window, no top bill showing.
- The matching red hardtop is present and clean, which saves a separate purchase.
- Tan seats and door cards look clean and lightly worn, so no retrim bill shows in the cabin.
- The carpet is a faded olive green that clashes with the tan trim and looks old, so a carpet set belongs in the budget if presentation matters.
- Dash is complete with a modern Sony head unit in place of the original radio, and a Sony box sits in the trunk, so originality hunters will spend to put it back.
- Trunk floor is coated in thick black paint that is crazing and cracking in patches, so probe it — fresh black coating can hide floor repairs and it needs checking, not assuming.
- Can't judge the engine bay — no under-hood photo appears in the sampled photos.
- Can't judge the underside — no undercarriage photo appears in the sampled photos.
Money: at $54,500 the paint, tops and tan trim carry the ask, but the crazed black coating on the trunk floor and the missing engine and underside photos mean the expensive questions are still open.
