1972 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series Description

1972 Mercedes Benz 280sel 4.5
I purchased this 1 Owner 280sel last year from the Estate of aretiredDoctor, long with amatching silver1969 280sl (280sl is sold). The Doctorpurchasedthis 280sel new in 1972 from Enyart Motor, nc. in New Mexico. The color combination is incredible for a 4.5. I honestly cannot recall another 4.5 in 180G Silver over Parchment. The period window decals have that perfect patina. Overall, his is an amazing 4.5 with thequintessential1970's Mercedes look.
You will find over 70 high resolution photos, elow. To fully appreciatethis 4.5, lease review all photos prior to contacting me with any questions or bidding. The photos honestly tell the story of this remarkable 4.5. I willhighlight some of the finer points:
When I received the 4.5, t had been sitting for approximately 1 year. I had the gas drained, nstalled a new fuel pump, ilter and pressure regulators.
IgnitionSystem Tested and Adjusted
Brand New Michelin Defender Tires
Brand New Exhaust
Brand New Bosch Battery
New Hood Insulation Pad
I also had some other items addressed. My goal was not to address every detail but rather to make the car a reliable runner that the next owner can take to the next level.At this point, he 4.5 starts, tops and shifts properly. You will note, n the photos, have driven the 4.5 up to 80mph. The 4.5 performed flawlessly at 80mph. No vibrations or issues.
