1968 280SL buyer Alex Manos

The 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL launched the final, most powerful phase of the W113 Pagoda line. If you’re looking for 1968 Mercedes Benz 280SL Seller’s Tips, AlexManos.com is happy to share their knowledge and expertise. Having assisted countless clients with the purchase and sale of their own classic autos, the team at Alex Manos has become a reliable and reputable California classic car dealer.

The 1968 Mercedes Benz 280SL began yet another exclusive line of Mercedes Benz autos that continues to be sought-after by European car enthusiasts and collectors near and far. Introduced in 1967 and produced through 1971, the 2.8 liter 1968 Mercedes 280SL also marked the final version of the W113 line. Equipped with a new engine that had larger bore that increased displacement to 2,779cc, the 280SL now offered 180-horsepower and increased torque compared to its predecessor. Other changes included flatter wheel covers and less chrome on the instrument panel and door panels, which was done in compliance with the new 1968 safety standards. Otherwise, the 280SL was essentially the same as the 250SL. While the W113 Pagoda is a highly desired Mercedes collectors cars, current values suggest that the Mercedes 280SL is the most desirable of the three models.

“I called, described the car, took pictures, provided the Vin and title information and they got back to me in 24 hours. We agreed on a price, signed paperwork. They sent the money directly to my bank and they picked up the car the next day. Whole process took maybe 4 days. They have it down and are very professional.”

“My experience with the Alex Manos company was very positive. Things moved very fast after our initial contact. Their requests for information and pictures were reasonable and were easy to provide. They responded quickly with an initial offer and negotiations were finalized in a couple days. Once we had agreement, payment arrived in my bank account the next day; before they had received the title from me or picked up the car. That showed was very professional and demonstrated a trust in me which I appreciated. All my needs were met.”
