About this car

This 1971 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet is offered on eBay by gullwingmotorcars in Astoria, NY. The asking price is $267,500. The car is finished in Silver over Red, power from a 3.5 engine. The listing does not state a mileage. On a W111, check the sills and floor pans for rust and make sure the chrome and interior trim are complete, as those parts are expensive to replace.

What the photos show

Paint is light silver and glossy on every panel, doors and fenders line up straight — no paint or body budget from these photos.
Chrome on the grille, bumpers and sill trim is bright and clean, no pitting shows at this distance — no re-chrome money needed.
Wheels wear matching body-color hubcaps, all clean and straight, and the blackwall tires look full-treaded — no wheel or tire money needed.
Red leather seats show up close smooth with only light creasing, and the door cards and carpets look clean — no retrim budget from these photos.
Dash wood is glossy and un-cracked across the panel, and the gauges and red dash pad look clean — no dash restoration money needed.
Black soft top is taut and clean up and folded down, with no tears or sagging visible — no top replacement money needed.
Engine bay is complete and tidy but not freshly detailed, with aged hoses and light grime around the edges — budget a service and detail, not a rebuild, from these photos.
No underside photos in the sample — the floors and frame can't be judged, so keep inspection money aside for that.

Money: At $267,500 the glossy paint, bright chrome and clean red interior match the ask on what shows, but the unshown underside and the working-order engine bay still need an in-person check before the price is fully earned.
