1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda: A Masterpiece Restored



Experience the Timeless Elegance
At our classic car restoration shop, we take pride in breathing new life into automotive legends. Our latest labor of love? The iconic 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda. This stunning beauty arrived at our doorstep originally as a solid vehicle that we listed for sale as a "driver-quality" vehicle. After a customer purchased the vehicle, they decided the car deserved a full Concours' quality restoration... and that's exactly what we did.



The Journey Begins
Our meticulous process began with a full rotisserie nut and bolt restoration. Every detail mattered, every component scrutinized. The car's heart—the engine—was revived to its former glory. The body, although very solid for its age but showing signs of wear, underwent a complete metamorphosis. The car was completely disassembled and the mechanicals, body, paint, and interior all were either restored or replaced to new preserving the car's originality and beauty.
