aa friend just told me about this 1969 280se that's her boss has for sale. it's a 90,000 original mile, family owned, garage kept vehicle that gets driven a couple times a week. i have a feeling she's a real beauty.

any idea what engine that would have?

Is it a 4-door (108), or is it a 2-door (coupe or cabriolet - 111)? If it's a 108, it has the 2.8L 6-cyl mechanically fuel-injected m130 (The 71 was the first year of the 4.5). If it's a coupe or cabriolet, it could be either the 2.8L, or it could be the V8 EFI 3.5L m116 (pretty rare and expensive vehicles!).

i got the info as a message on my answer machine which was a little unclear. she said it's a 580SE two door hard top (she meant 280SE)
not sure if i could afford it but i'm interested and it doesn't sound like the family knows the value

Is this car still for sale?Would like to know more about it.Please, let me know.Thanks

bikis,
My friend is checking with the owner ... i'll let you know as soon as i do.

The car is still available.

I understand it's similar to this one but a couple of years older. http://www.allsportauto.com/static/mercedes/280_se_3l5_coupe/

did you want to email me your number than i can pass it on to the owner?

A 3.5 coupe? Holy ****... they don't know the true value of that, I bet!

can't say but i think TomGuy has it right, "they don't know the true value of that, I bet!"

Hey, let's not all get too excited before we clarify a couple of things. The owner said it's a 280SE coupe. She also said it was **similar** to the one pictured. The one pictured was a 3.5. HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that the car in question is a 3.5. I'm willing to bet it's not. I think the owner was referring to the shape, as opposed to the specific model.

In any case, it would be a great car but the value difference is huge, I believe.
