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.

Customer reviews:
“Alex helped through the whole sale.Fast on the phone,email. When it was done, money in account one hour later. The pick up was by a pro. DONE. GREAT. THANK YOU!”
“Very well organized and best managed business entity that I ever came across. Any question I had they responded immediately. From the point I decided to sell the car, the transaction was handled efficiently, funds were deposited into my account, and the car was out of my garage in a matter of few hours. The price was reasonable and nothing to complain about!”
“This is going to sound too good to be true, but it is true! My parents had a 1970 Mercedes 280 that was given to my mom by my grandfather, purchased in the 70s. Over time, the car became too much of a financial burden for my parents to keep repairing and investing in. One night while google searching, I stumbled upon Alex’s website, and on somewhat of a whim, I decided to submit a request to the contact form on the site along with photos of the car, just to see what would happen. Within 30 minutes of submitting the form, I received a phone call from Alex Manos, the owner. He asked a few questions about the car and then offered to buy it. I was extremely skeptical because I couldn’t fathom why this stranger from across the country would offer to buy this old car sight unseen – just seemed sketchy and like a potential scam. But after pondering it all weekend and talking with my parents, we decided we had nothing to lose – we agreed to accept his offer. He wired the money to my mom instantly – it was in her account the next business day. Once the funds cleared, Alex’s team coordinated us mailing the title & car docs to them, and they sent a truck out within two days to pickup the car. The entire process was stress-free, seamless, the communication was excellent and clear, and Alex was respectful and professional to work with. If you have a classic car to sell, I HIGHLY recommend Alex!”
“Very fast and professional. I would sell to them again, and I would buy from them. They wired the money for the transaction so fast, I couldn’t believe it. Every step of the way they were there to help and answer questions. It could not have been any easier for me as the seller.”
“I was very impressed with both Alex and his platform. I was immediately struck by his expertise in the classic car market. As far as the transaction, it was seamless during the entire process. Alex explained each step and his staff was equally professional and patient with the follow-up after Alex and I agreed on the terms. His business model made for a very pleasant and fair experience with him and his support staff. I anticipate being in the position to sell a classic again and will certainly reach out to Alex at that time. Thanks guys.”
“Everything went really well will the sale, everyone that works with Alex Manos is very professional. Very enjoyable working with his crew.”
“It can be scary selling your car online. But the professionalism, and care of the employees set my mind at ease. Once we agreed on the price the transfer was very fast, and professional.”

I sold a 1971 MB 280SL in ‘As Is’ condition, I’ve conducted many selling & buying transactions & I must commend Mr. Manos for a stress free, honest & fair experience; what he advertises is what I dealt with; 100% upfront honesty. 100% satisfied, I highly recommend Mr. Manos.”
