The exterior is finished in Lapis Blue (932) with all original panels and fresh paintwork. The European Bumpers and headlamps are original and all the brightwork remains free from pitting. The seller notes all SEKURIT glass remains original along with all VIN plates and manufacturer plaques, including the emissions from federalization. This example does show front fog lamps mounted under the front bumper.

@Vlad600sel Best guess is 2006 (When titled in FL) but cannot be sure

Do you know when was federalized?
@570TE The Euro 280SLC's did come with 4-speed autos. VIN decode confirms as well so maybe 1980 was first year for it
@570TE It's a 4 speed automatic according the specifications I looked up.
@570TE My apologies for any mistakes in the ad I used my previous partner's description and there are apparently some discrepancies.
@570TE Not sure about 3 vs 4 speed transmission. Steering wheel is not plastic. No idea of miles in Europe. Shifter is not leather. What is TMU?
Also, I thought the 4-speed auto trans arrived in 1981. Are you sure this isn't a 3-spd automatic? Steering wheel and shifter appear to be molded plastic and not leather...
Odo shows 61k MILES since the US conversion. Any idea how many kms were on the original Euro odometer when the car was imported? Are you selling as TMU?

Thank you for the reply’s. Very helpful.
@Touringfan No CarFax report for VIN.
@mkrafty Car is 41 years old and a European edition and does not have standard US VIN.
@Touringfan I inspected the area above the rear right tail light and there is no paint bubbling. There is no rust I can see in the trunk, floors or fenders.
@Touringfan No accidents. This is a European edition so probably not a Mexican radio but not sure. Have not run a CarFax on it.
In the pictures there appears to be some paint bubbling above the right rear tail light. Is that just a reflection or is it some bubbling? Is there any other rust in the floors, trunk, or fenders?
Is the radio actually a Mexico model? I thought Mexico model had a Wonderbar and played cassettes.
Has the car had any accidents? Is there a car fax report for it?
@Graves12 Reserve set my partners was too high so I bought them out and trying again.
@EricMLuna Getting A/C checked out today
@Daviddann First auction my partners did not take a good bid so I bought them out and I'm trying again.
@Daviddann Doesn't appear that it met reserve the first go around
Any further information as to why the AC is not working?
Why is it being sold again so quickly after purchase ? Thank you
Loving the interior on this! We need more euro checkered cloth!
