Vehicle description
About this vehicle This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE is an original. The owner has had it for 3 years. The vehicle needs work. Seller"s Notes Please reach out with any questions! Vehicle Details Up for sale is a ‘78 Euro-Spec 280SE. The car was bought new in Germany, then spent most of its life in Bosnia, owned by one of our good family friends. When they moved to the states (around 2006), they imported the car with them. However, the car sat for a long time and wasn’t driven. I ended up buying it in 2018 with the hopes that I could get it running, but I was just too unfamiliar with the KJet fuel injection system and lost motivation shortly after. The good: Spent $400 on a brand new set of whitewall tires - 0 miles on them. The old tires that it came with were completely dry rotted so this was the first thing I replaced. New fuel pump - old one was dead. Interior is extremely clean and well kept. Only 139k kilometers (~86k miles)! Has good compression and spark - will fire if fuel is poured into throttle body and will run until it’s gone. New AC Delco battery. The bad: Has a fueling issue. Initially it had a dead fuel pump that tested bad when a 12V source was applied. Replaced with a new fuel pump that tested operational, but the car still wouldn’t fire on its own. Has a bit of rust in the quarters and fenders. Has one stuck brake caliper that was removed to get the car rolling (rear right). Clear coat peeling in a few places from sitting outside for so long. Paint has a few cracks, but overall, in good shape for being 43 years old. Would need to be pulled to your destination as it does not run. Located in Iowa.
