About this car
1970 280SE Coupe at Old Town Classics in San Diego, CA. 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 brown-black paint is glossy and straight down the long coupe sides, no repaint needed in the photos
- chrome grille, bumpers and hubcaps shine bright, including the front plate frame area, no chrome bill shown
- tan leather seats carry honest patina and darker wear but no tears visible, no need to reupholster right away
- dash top and wood trim look clean and uncracked in the cabin photos, no dash or wood repair shown
- sunroof panel is shown open and its paint matches the roof, no sunroof paint fix apparent
- rear trim behind the back seat is badly torn and peeling in one photo, budget to retrim that panel
- engine bay is dusty and original-looking with aged hoses, a rusty brake booster and yellowed reservoir, budget a detail and hose check
- trunk floor and spare-well paint look clean and dry, no trunk rust repair shown
- underside is not shown in the photos viewed, can't judge the underside
Money: no sold price is on file, so judge value from visible condition only — glossy paint and bright chrome carry it, while the torn rear trim and the tired, undetailed engine bay are where the next money goes.
