1972 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 280SE Sedan Description

1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Sedan

Mercedes-Benz was on a roll in the late 60s and early 70s, bringing out multiple versions of its post-Fintail sedans for the world to drive. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE sedan. Nineteen seventy-two was the last year for these cars and this is one of 6,422 examples made that year in Stuttgart, West Germany.

Dressed in its original blue paint, (code DB-903), this car has been garage-kept and well-maintained and was owned by a Doctor in Oklahoma City for a long period of time and his service records are included. Its paint and trim are in very good order, as are the glass panels, including the rear window with its electric defroster grid. The car’s lights, including the vertically stacked headlights and multi-function taillights, are in great condition, too.

The car’s bodywork is still straight and solid after all of these years, the engine bay is very tidy, the battery looks new and the wraparound chrome bumpers with rub strips still shine in the sunlight. This car rolls on new whitewall tires, size 185/75R14 at all four corners and each tire is mounted on a steel wheel topped with a correct Mercedes body-colored wheel cover, which are all in good order.

Under the hood and behind that imposing grille is the original 2.8L OHC inline six-cylinder motor (M130) with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and it’s backed by the original four-speed automatic transmission with a 4.08:1 rear end. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, floor shifter and power windows.

Inside is the original blue interior is in overall great condition for original. The seats look good, the carpeting is in great shape, the headliner’s fine, as is the original two-spoke steering wheel. The instrument panel with its VDO gauges and door liners are also in great shape. Completing the interior is the correct factory and operational Becker Europa AM/FM radio.

Competition to this Benz in 1972 included AMC’s Matador, BMW’s 525, Buick’s Skylark, Dodge’s Coronet, Mercury’s Montego, Oldsmobile’s Cutlass and Pontiac’s Le Mans.

If you want a classic, German-engineered and built cruiser, look no further than this Mercedes at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. It blends power and economy with timeless styling and great visibility for the driver and passengers.
