Rare 1976 Mercedes 280C

[randooch]

My wife and I will be moving to Europe next February for a spell, which necessitates a serious reduction in possessions. On the off chance that one of you Loungers is a Benz fan, I thought I'd post this here.

His name is Boris. He stays garaged, runs great, and is all original, inside and out, with 129,500 miles. I've had him for 4 years and only drive short distances on the weekends.

PM me with questions and/or requests for more pictures and details, of which I have many. Only $5500 and he's all yours.

Randall, great car man!
Trade ya a borso for it!

 

[Landman]

Randall,

I was wondering what that blue car was that is under all your hat pictures!

I wish you lived a little closer. If you don't mind send me some pictures anyway. I think you have my email address but if not I'll send it to you.

 

[LoveMyHats2]

Dang! That is a very clean nice car. I sure do wish you were closer to my neck of the woods, I have always loved the older Benz, they don't make them as good now. When you make it to Europe, give the Queen a squeeze for me!

 

[randooch]

I'll certainly attempt that, Daniel. You can read about my arrest in the London Times.

My car nut of a brother tells me that auto transport from Oregon to the midwest runs anywhere from 600 to 900 dollars, depending on whether it's shipped on an open truck or an enclosed one. If a Lounger buys the car, I'll kick in $300.

Its beautiful! A 2-door and a sunroof and white leather seats? I wish I had the moneyyyyyy

 

[EggHead]

Very nice car Randall, 20 years ago I would have bought it. Now I need a minivan :|

 

[Rathdown]

Air conditoning?

 

[randooch]

Barely. Must need a recharge.

Someone on Craigslist requested interior pics, so I thought I'd share them here as well.

I tell you, if I had the money I would've bought it in a heartbeat. That is one sweet car!!

 

[BR Gordon]

I wish that I had a three car garage. I'd love to have that car.

 

[TM]

Wow! That care is in great condiition! You've done a good job with it.

Regarding the AC, is it "old" freon or "new" freon?

Thanks!

Tony

Hi,

My brother had one just like yours, you travel like a king in that one!


cheers Joakim

 

[randooch]

TM, I'm afraid I have no idea.

 

[randooch]

Now on Ebay!

[LoveMyHats2]

I have several more vehicles then what I need, but this Mercedes is clean. Wish I would have known a few months ago it would be up for grabs! It will sell however, the color and car itself will sell it for you.

 

[Lynx]

highly likely that it is R12 unless someone went to the trouble of changing to R134a. The R12 cools better.

 

[randooch]

Thanks, folks. I really didn't want to go the eBay route, but there isn't a surfeit of discretionary cash drifting around Roseburg, Oregon, so I decided to widen the scope a bit. Hope it works out.
