About this car
1971 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet at Gullwing Motor Cars in Astoria, NY. Out of 49-year ownership (same owner since 1972), burgundy with tan leather, runs and drives well, presentable.

Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- Burgundy paint looks deep and glossy all round, no repaint needed.
- Chrome bumpers and grille look bright, no rechrome bill showing.
- Black soft top is shown raised in one view and looks taut, cream boot cover looks clean when the top is down, no new top needed on what is visible.
- Cream leather seats look clean in the cabin view, no need to reupholster on what is shown.
- Dash wood looks warm in the cabin view, no dash bill showing.
- Can't judge the engine bay — no engine photos in this gallery, so budget a full mechanical inspection.
- Can't judge the underside — no underside photos in this gallery, so budget an inspection before valuing it.
Money: No sale price is listed in the data, but the photos show a handsome cabriolet — glossy burgundy paint and a clean cream interior support value, with the unseen engine bay and underside still to check.
