GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280SE for your consideration. Finished in classic silver with its original 14-inch wheels and clean chrome trim, this 280SE embodies the understated sophistication that defined Mercedes-Benz luxury sedans of the late 1970s. The elegant body lines, large chrome bumpers, and subtle detailing showcase the craftsmanship that made the W116 chassis a global symbol of prestige and refinement.
Power comes from a 2.8-liter inline-six engine mated to a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission. Known for their durability and balanced performance, these engines deliver a quiet, confident driving experience. The car offers power steering, automatic windows, and effective heat and air conditioning, making it well-suited for relaxed weekend cruises or classic car gatherings.
Inside, the cabin is finished in a handsome blue combination of leather and cloth, a hallmark of Mercedes comfort during this era. The interior also features a Kenwood stereo with cassette player, analog dash locks, and large, easy-to-read gauges including temperature and oil pressure readouts. Manual mirrors, a wood-accented dash, and solid door panels remind you that this was a time when Mercedes built their vehicles with both simplicity and quality at the forefront.
The 280SE sits within one of Mercedes’ most respected lineages, the S-Class sedans of the W116 generation, which helped define the brand’s reputation for engineering excellence. With timeless design, a smooth inline-six, and classic Benz craftsmanship, this 280SE represents a great opportunity to own a true piece of Mercedes history.
