About this car
1970 280SL at Gullwing Motor Cars in Astoria, NY. 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
- cream paint and hardtop look clean and presentable from outside, no paintwork obvious, which makes what is inside the surprise
- chrome bumpers are bright at the front, though the rear bumper shows duller patches, minor polishing only
- driver's blue leather seat is torn and worn through in large patches, that is a full retrim bill, not a repair
- steering wheel wears a laced-on cover and the cabin looks tired and dirty, budget interior work beyond just the seat
- engine bay is dirty with rusty, scruffy inner wings and old hoses, budget a thorough clean-up and recommissioning checks
- can't judge the soft top, only the hardtop is shown fitted, so the soft top's condition and cost stay open
- can't judge the underside, it is not shown, so sill and floor rust is unverified
Money: no sold price is on file, so judge it on condition alone — the tidy exterior flatters it; the shredded driver's seat and scruffy engine bay are real money off, and it should be valued as a car needing an interior, not a finished Pagoda.
