About this car
This barn find in Smithfield is a pair: two 1972 280SE sedans in a single listing. The headline says $8,200, but the seller's text asks $8,500 or best offer for both cars. At that price, the pair works as one car to restore and one to supply parts, but both bodies need a rust inspection before the figures mean anything.
What the photos show
- Only one photo is available for this listing — a front view of a dust-covered dark sedan under a barn lean-to, standing on dirt — so most of the car can't be judged from photos at all.
- Heavy dust and grime coat the hood, roof and windshield, the grille carries badge pins, and the bumper chrome is dulled — the photo reads exactly as the listing says: a barn find that has sat for a long time.
- The listing is for two 1972 280SEs together; this photo shows only one of them, so the second car's existence and condition rest entirely on the seller's word until seen.
- No interior, engine bay, trunk or underside photos are available — and on a car stored on dirt, the floors and sills are the first thing to inspect, because ground moisture works on them unseen.
Money: $8,200 (listed as $8,500 or best offer for the pair) is two-car barn-find money — fair only if both cars are complete and the floors survive; the dust in this photo is honest, and everything under it is unproven.
