1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Coupe/Roadster

  • Chassis Number: 113.044.12.004451
The first owner of this car was W. W. Deramus III and his wife, Partica, who purchased the car by Hension Motor Company of Kansas City, MO, on October 4th, 1968. The Deramus family owned the car until 2014. The car was delivered in 1968 in Dark Green (DB268), with Dark Green (244) leather upholstery and interior trim, and a matching cloth top and hardtop. The car features a correct Becker radio and has a new set of whitewall tires. Within the past few years, the car has been extensively restored by the original owners.
