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.
