1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

• Paint is silver and glossy on every panel, doors, hood and fenders line up straight in all the walk-around photos — no paint or body budget from these photos.
• Chrome on the grille, bumpers and headlight rings is bright and mirror-clean even in the close-ups — no re-chrome money needed.
• Wheels are body-color hubcaps with thin whitewalls, all clean and unmarked in the side and rear-quarter photos — no wheel or tire money showing.
• Blue seats show up close and look smooth and tight, with no cracking or sagging on the cushions and clean dark blue carpets — no interior trim budget from these photos.
• Dash is clean and complete, wood, gauges and chrome all bright and unmarked in the close views — no dash money needed.
• Engine bay is very clean and detailed, plated hardware bright and no grime or leaks showing — no engine-bay tidy-up budget from these photos.
• The car is only shown with the top down and no underside photo is in the sample — the soft top fabric and the underside can't be judged, so hold that check for in person.

Money: at $294,500 the photos back the ask — paint, chrome, interior and engine bay all look done, with only the unseen soft top and underside left to verify before paying top money.
