About this car
1973 280SE 4.5 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
- white paint is glossy and even from nose to tail, no repaint needed in the photos
- chrome headlight surrounds, grille, bumpers and window trim shine like mirrors, no chrome bill shown
- dash top looks uncracked and the wood around the Becker Mexico cassette radio is rich and glossy, no dash or wood repair shown
- door handles and rear 4.5 badge chrome is bright and clean, no small-trim spend apparent
- engine bay in the small photo is dusty and original-looking around the V8 air cleaner, budget a detail, not a rebuild on looks
- seats are not clearly shown in the photos viewed, can't judge the seats or full interior
- 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 — the glossy white paint, mirror chrome and clean wood support strong money, but the unseen seats and underside and a dusty engine bay keep it from being judged as finished.
