The 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda is a classic car known for its timeless design and advanced engineering for its time. The 280 SL comes with a 2.8-liter inline-six-cylinder engine, producing around 170 horsepower. It had mechanical fuel injection, known as Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI). The 280 SL featured a sophisticated independent rear suspension, which provides a comfortable and stable ride. The iconic “Pagoda” nickname comes from the car’s unique concave hardtop with a distinctive shape resembling the curved roof of a pagoda.

It also has a soft-top for convertible driving. Safety features includes a strong monocoque chassis, crumple zones, and Mercedes’ reputation for engineering robust vehicles. The interior boasted high-quality materials, leather seats, wood trim, and a classic instrument cluster. The 280 SL has respectable performance for its era, with a 0-60 mph time in the 9-second range and a top speed of around 120 mph. The Pagoda model was produced from 1963 to 1971, and the 280 SL was the final version of this series.
