Bought it a couple of years ago.Its appeal - You just don t see many of these iconic Benz s around especially in the original factory yellow and it turns heads. There s just something regal in the appearance of these 1960s and 70s Teutonic classics. It s just plain striking when polished up but of course it s been garaged which is why the paint retains its sparkle. It sports a six cylinder gas engine which is quite economical factory power sunroof and power windows. Its interior is in great shape albeit one of the seat belts in the back who s buckle latch seems to have fallen apart thus that needs addressing if you use seat belts. As one might expect from well built classics this Benz s tightness of the body still affords that THUNK of overbuilt quality when the doors are closed. It also retains it s original-style body-colored classic hubcaps. Much to the chagrin of a guy who owns a couple of classic Caddys even its clock keeps good time which American cars seem never to do. That s a testament to German engineeringCurrently the original Becker AM FM radio is intermittent. Sometimes you start the car and the antenna goes up and radio works but other times. . . you drive in silence. Clearly it s a loose wire that needs to be found. The odometer reads a tad over 53 thousand. Have no reason to doubt those are original miles. This is a very nice example of an extremely well preserved 1975 Mercedes Benz 280 4 door gas sedan. While not a show car it s a very nice driver.
