About this car
Hemmings listing in Beverly Hills, CA. 280SL California Coupe variant in Dark Blue with matching interior; removable hardtop and rear bench seat.
What the photos show
- Navy paint is glossy on the upper body and the chrome shines bright, no repaint or re-chroming needed up top.
- The driver's sill and rocker are heavily rusted and crumbling in the side photo, so budget serious sill and structural metal work - the gloss above it hides the worst of this car.
- The trunk floor is rust-streaked with brown patching, so budget trunk floor repair.
- The engine bay shows rust on the bulkhead, brake booster and linkage and looks grimy throughout, so budget bay and mechanical sorting.
- Blue seats look intact, though leaves and debris sit on the driver's seat, so budget a detail at minimum.
- The odometer in the photos reads 75,729 on a km/h gauge, useful context but no saving in itself.
- Two chrome side trims are photographed loose on the ground, off the car, so budget refitting or replacing trim.
- Can't judge the underside from these photos, and with the sill already crumbling that inspection is where the real bill will be sized.
Money: at $46,500 the top side looks like a shiny Pagoda, but the crumbling sill, rusty trunk floor and rusty bay mean big metal money is still to spend.
