FOR SALE: 1972 280SEL - Mint

FOR SALE: 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL
From Member: Henry Clifford
Contact him at: (619) 840-4808 if interested.

I am the proud owner of a mint condition 1972 280 SEL Mercedes Benz (2 more photos, below) with only 115,000 miles on it. I bought it in 1992 from my grandparents, who were the original owners. I have been trying to "keep it in the family" but the car is a classic show car and it is not practical for me to keep it here in San Diego.

I have already received an offer from a local showroom of exotic cars, and my friends have urged me to sell it on eBay or Autotrader. But if possible, I would like to place the car with "someone who cares about" and not just any random buyer. Do you think that anyone in the MBCAOC would be interested in purchasing it? If so, I can send a lot more photos and information on the car.

Thanks in advance for your assistance with this matter.

Henry Clifford, (619) 840-4808

They come with either one king or two queen beds, and most face the beautiful 18 hole PGA championship golf course. There’s also a lovely swimming pool to enjoy.

Finally, we’ll enjoy a scrumptious breakfast on Sunday. After that, we’ll be on our way home. You can stay an extra day to play a round of golf, or just relax. It is anticipated that the cost of this event will be about $60 per person, plus the cost of the room—only $78 plus tax for a double, bringing the total per couple or the rally, dinner, overnight stay, and breakfast to approximately $200.
