| Here is a picture of the 1976 Mercedes 280C that I bought from the original owner in 2000. It was purchased, owned and serviced in and near Beverly Hills, CA from 1976 to 2000. It had 68,000 Original Miles on it in 2000 when I bought it. It has approximately 72,000 miles on it now. It drives really well. The interior is near-perfect. The mechanicals are very good. Engine Hums. Transmission Shifts Beautifully. The Car Handles Nicely. The body is straight - short of a few dings. The original paint is very weak. It needs a proper paint job. Two Areas to Watch - All W114 280s and 280Cs: Finicky OEM Carburetor - requires knowledgeable MBZ mechanic Driveshaft Center Bushing "Donut" - these wear out faster than most. |
