1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL With Two Tops

Introducing this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with two tops, finished in Signal Red over a Cognac interior, a classic and well-balanced color combination that suits the elegant lines of the W113 chassis. Commonly known as the Pagoda due to its uniquely shaped removable hardtop, the 280SL represented the final and most developed version of the W113 series, offering improved power, refinement, and long-distance touring capability over its predecessors.

Highlights:
- California Car
- Exterior Color: Signal Red
- Interior Color: Cognac
- 2.8L Inline-Six Engine
- Automatic Transmission (Floor Shift)
- Bosch Fuel Injection System
- Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
- Power Steering
- Black Convertible Soft Top
- Removable Hardtop
- Chrome Accents
- VDO Instrumentation
- 14-Inch Steel Wheels
- Jack and Spare Tire Included
- Receipt Copies (2000-2023)

Powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six engine paired with an automatic floor-shift transmission, this 280SL is equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and twin exhaust finishers. Additional exterior features include a black convertible soft top, removable hardtop, chrome bumpers with overriders, side moldings, chrome trim, and correct 14-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and color-matched centers wrapped in Yokohama tires. The car also comes with a jack and full-size spare tire stored in the trunk.

Inside, the Cognac interior is complemented by bucket seats, a two-spoke steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, manual crank windows, door pockets, an analog clock, Becker Grand Prix radio, and a fender-mounted antenna. Receipt copies dating from 2000 through 2023 accompany the vehicle, documenting years of maintenance and ownership history.

One of the more interesting aspects of the W113 is that its famous Pagoda hardtop shape was engineered not only for appearance, but also to improve cabin rigidity and visibility. Developed with input from Mercedes-Benz safety engineer B'la Bar'nyi, the design reflected the company's growing focus on occupant safety during the 1960s while still maintaining the roadster's clean and timeless profile.

Offered with a California salvage title and priced accordingly, this Pagoda presents an opportunity to acquire one of Mercedes-Benz's most recognized classic roadsters. Contact us today to learn more about this classic Mercedes-Benz 280SL and take the next step toward owning a timeless piece of German motoring history that is mechanically sound. For $
