280se 4.5 '70/71

I've spotted a 280SE 4.5 out here, SoCal. I haven't inspected the car. I will check asap. It's in a exclusive neighborhood and most likely an original California car, meaning there shouldn't be any rust. The price tag is $2500 which I think is pretty good, if in fact the car is in good condition.

I don't think I am up to it, I got too much on my hands at this point, even though I love that body style.

So, maybe somebody is seriously interrested, I'll go and check it out closer anyways, but let me know and I'll be happy to inquire about details.

If I was in Cali I'd buy it - $2500 is a good deal if condition is good.

I will stop there today. I have seen the car before, it's at a friend's neighbors house, but now it has a big sign in the window.

Usually they are well kept out here, some are outstanding and go anywhere from $4k to $7k. They are slow sellers, though.

You just bought that 280? That's a great machine. I had a '73 /8 280E with Auto trans though, but it had the new DOHC swapped in. That was back in 1980. It ran like hell, I had some rough idle problems with it, which I solved eventually with 'Golden Lodge' spark plugs.
