About this car
The seller describes this Elk Grove Village car as a 1973 280SEL 4.5, but a 1973 SEL can be the later W116 model, and the chassis cannot be verified from the listing alone. Confirm what you are buying before you value it. The car starts but will not drive because the fuel pump leaks. Judge it on the cost of that repair and on settling which car it is, not on the badge.
What the photos show
- Only one photo is available for this listing — a close front three-quarter of the white long-wheelbase sedan on a driveway — so most of the car can't be judged from photos at all.
- The white paint and the chrome grille, bumper and stacked headlights look clean and bright in frame — the front end presents better than the non-running description might suggest.
- The hood sits visibly ajar along its front edge in this photo — most likely simply unlatched, but check the latch and shut lines in person before assuming it is nothing.
- No side, rear, interior, engine bay or underside photos are available — the cabin, the 4.5 V8 and the SEL's floors and sills all stay unjudged; the listing's fuel-pump fault is the known first repair.
Money: $12,900 for a non-running 280SEL 4.5 is project money with a tidy face — budget the fuel pump and a full recommissioning check, and let the unseen floors and sills, not the clean nose, decide whether it is cheap or dear.
