About this car
1969 280SL at Gullwing Motor Cars in Astoria, NY. SOLD (page price field shows SOLD; $39,500 was the ask in description). The dealer's own page marks this car sold — it stays listed under the SOLD banner for reference and is left out of the price averages. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- Dark green paint looks presentable and straight outdoors with a decent shine, but not show-fresh, so no full repaint is obvious yet a detail and touch-ups should be budgeted
- Chrome bumpers and trim look clean from front and rear views, no obvious damage to pay to re-chrome here
- Green leather seats look well preserved with no obvious tears or heavy wear, no need to reupholster on what is shown
- Dash and wood-rim steering wheel look tidy in the interior view, though carpets look age-worn, so allow for a deep clean rather than a full retrim
- The hardtop is fitted in all exterior views and the soft top is not shown, so soft-top condition and replacement cost cannot be judged
- Engine bay looks tired and dirty with surface rust and peeling black paint on components, so budget for detailing and mechanical sorting, not just cosmetics
- Underside is not shown at all, so rust and floor condition cannot be judged from these photos
Money: At $39,500 sold, well below typical Pagoda money, the tidy interior and presentable paint are offset in the photos by that tired, rust-flecked engine bay — the cheap entry was the visible sorting bill.
