1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE Navigation
This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Sedan was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $10,000 - $20,000. It was offered without reserve. It has a 2788cc Bosh fuel-injected V8 engine capable of producing 180 horsepower. There is a four-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes.
The 280 SE was described as 'perfection on wheels' and offered performance, luxury, and comfort. They were geared towards the American market and offered at a base price of $6,577 which put them in the range of Cadillac's deVille Sedan and Lincoln's Continental. They had European craftsmanship with durable leather and rich, hand-finished wood trim adorning the dashboard and garnish moldings. By the close of the 1960s, Mercedes-Benz had sold nearly 26,000 vehicles.
This vehicle has had only two female owners since new. The engine has been rebuilt and the exterior of the car is finished in its original Ivory with a Tobacco Brown leather interior. At the auction, the lot was sold for $7,700.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2007
