1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5

• dark navy paint looks deep, glossy and straight from every angle, no repaint needed
• chrome bumpers, grille, arch trim and matching hubcaps look bright, no rechrome bill
• the 280 SE and 3.5 badges on the trunk match the title, no badge question here
• sunroof panel sits flush in the roof shots, no roof repair showing
• red leather seats front and rear look almost new with no tears or wear, no need to reupholster
• dash wood looks deep and glossy with a Becker Grand Prix stereo fitted, no wood refinishing needed
• V8 engine bay looks clean and black-painted, no detailing bill to present it
• the battery tray in the engine bay is rusty and corroded at its edges, budget a tray cleanup and check what is under it
• underside is coated black and looks solid on the lift, though the exhaust pipes show surface rust, so budget an exhaust check not floor work

Money: no sold price is recorded for this one, and the navy paint, red leather, sunroof coupe body and clean underside all support strong 3.5 money, with only the battery tray as a small deduction.
