1974 Mercedes 280C, W114 Chassis
I am the 2nd owner, car as-is is a real head-turner when out driving.

- 116,484 miles, 16,484 miles listed on odometer.
- Engine is the M110 engine with a 4-barrel Solex 4A1 aka Quadrajet carb (US engine, 145HP). Runs OK as-is. With a tune-up it would be great. In current state of tune it made it from Pamplin, VA to Arlington, VA.
- Original interior (could use new floor mats) in good condition.
- Repaint about 2 years before being put into storage 10 years ago, paint looks great.
- Due to being in storage for years, it will need some new weatherstripping and rubber parts, change of all fluids (transmission, rear diff etc.)

Price:
$6500 OBO

Same ad on craigslist as well.

You brought this to a GTG at Kevin's house, right?

JMURiz · #4 08-31-2009, 05:43 PM

Yep, that's the one.

That's a great car, Nathan. I told a friend about it. I wish I could buy it.

Hey, a friend of a local enthusiast is totally fine with me.
Thanks for getting the word out.

Neat 280, Nathan! Do you know where I can find reconditioned or new wood trim for mine? Thanks!

JMURiz · #9 07-08-2010, 02:03 PM

Sorry, I have no idea where to get new wood pieces for this car.
Bump with some updates (I am unable to update the stuff above, so here are the updates):

1974 Mercedes 280C, W114 Chassis
I am the 2nd owner, car as-is is a real head-turner when out driving.

- Unknown miles, no record of if the odometer has rolled.
- Engine is the M110 engine with a 4-barrel Quadrajet carb (US engine, 145HP). Runs OK as-is. With a tune-up it would be great. In current state of tune it made it from Pamplin, VA to Arlington, VA (3.75 hour drive).
- Original interior (could use new floor mats) in OK condition.
- Repaint about 2 years before being put into storage 10 years ago, paint looks great.
- Due to being in storage for years, it will need some new weatherstripping and rubber parts, change of all fluids (transmission, rear diff etc.) basically it needs a refresh on the wear items.
UPDATE
- Installed the 5 14" alumn wheels with brand new tires (4 wheels and spare). Saved 60lbs in unsprung weight over the stock steel wheels!

Price:
$5250 OBO

UPDATE
I have full factory service manuals for the entire car and M110 motor (2 manuals) that can be negotiated into the package.

I am attempting to sell due to my parents looking to downsize their house to one without a garage. This car really needs to be garage kept and have someone restore/refurbish it. It will make a great cruiser.

Thanks for looking, you can PM or e-mail me for additional pictures.

Man great car, figured it could used another bump. If I had the time!!

Johnhef · #11 07-18-2010, 10:26 PM

Nathan, still for sale?

JMURiz · #12 07-19-2010, 11:03 AM

Yep, still for sale. I responded to your PM, I'd LOVE for it to stay semi-local.

Nathan, you have to bring it to one more GTG before you sell it!
