This Mercedes-Benz M130.980 engine, automatic transmission, and Bosch mechanical fuel-injection pump were removed from a 1972 280SE bearing chassis number 10801812089231. The naturally aspirated 2.8-liter inline-six is offered with its attached transmission and accessories. The seller reports approximately ten years of ownership and states the components operated properly before removal. The donor car showed 11,235 miles, although actual mileage is unknown. The assembly has been stored and serviced since removal, and a video of the donor car being driven is provided. This M130 drivetrain package is now offered by the private seller in Hewlett, New York.
The 2.8-liter M130.980 inline-six features a single overhead camshaft and Bosch mechanical fuel injection.

Exterior surfaces show oxidation, accumulated grime, and corrosion on the exhaust manifolds. Additional photographs show the engine from multiple angles, along with visible casting markings and attached accessories.
The automatic transmission remains attached to the engine and is shown with its bellhousing, external linkage, and output flange. The seller reports that the transmission operated properly before removal. Its exterior condition is documented in the gallery.
The seller reports recent servicing, although the scope and date of that work are unspecified. A driving video documents the assembly in use before removal.

For someone keeping a mechanically injected W108 on the road, this auction is worth a look. Sourcing an engine is one task alone but tracking down the accompanying injection equipment, lines, linkage, and accessories can become another project entirely. This package brings those components together from the same donor, with a driving video showing them in use before removal. Whether destined for a replacement installation or a rebuild, having the assembly out of the car provides an opportunity to inspect, clean, and address service items before it goes back between the fenders.
