  • The 280 SL is the last, and arguably best, variant of the venerable W113-generation SL-Class. A worthy successor to the W121 190 SL, the W113 returned to an inline six-cylinder and featured a stunning body penned by Paul Bracq. Much as with previous SLs, one could have both hard and soft tops fitted to their cars to enable year-round motoring in comfort, style, and, increasingly, safety. The hardtops, with a slightly concave appearance, gave the W113 the nickname, “Pagoda”, and, combined with the car’s easy-to-drive persona, ensured the model became an instant classic beloved by celebrities, critics, and enthusiasts alike.

    The magnificent 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Black over a Deep Red leather interior with a Black folding convertible top. This exquisite motorcar has been beautifully restored and is now ready to be shown or driven. In the last 30 years, we have sold more 280 SL convertibles than any other dealer or individual in the country; this is one of the only Black examples we’ve come across, making this one of the rarest and most sought-after 280 SL roadsters on the market today. Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this great iconic German classic, this Mercedes-Benz offers, I personally believe, investment potential that will grow beyond your imagination.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
