About this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280GE

VIN: WDB46021217050796

This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280GE cabriolet was imported to the US from Colombia in 2021 and has been refinished in matte gray over black and red vinyl. It is powered by a 2.8-liter M110 inline-six linked to a five-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking front and rear differentials. Equipment includes a black canvas top, LED lighting, black 20″ aftermarket wheels, a body lift, front disc brakes, air conditioning, power windows, a Jensen touchscreen Bluetooth head unit, and front- and rear-facing cameras.
The truck has been repainted matte gray with textured black finish on the bodyside trim, wider wheel arch flares, and lower portions of the body. Exterior details include a black canvas top with roll-up windows, a front brush guard with an LED lightbar, LED headlights with grilles, and an aftermarket grille with black trim as well as running boards and a tow ball.
Black 20″ aftermarket wheels are mounted with 33×12.50″ Red Dirt Road M/T RD-6 tires, and a covered spare is secured to a swing-away rear carrier. The truck has been fitted with a body lift and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The front bucket seats, rear bench, and door panels have been reupholstered in black vinyl with red diamond-stitched inserts. Black carpeting lines the floor and appointments include power windows, aftermarket speakers, a JBL amplifier, and a Jensen touchscreen Bluetooth head unit in addition to a digital display mounted atop the dash that is linked to front- and rear-facing cameras. The air conditioning system was serviced in January 2025.
A carbon-fiber steering wheel frames a central 7k-rpm tachometer flanked by a 180-km/h speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 13k kilometers (~8k miles).
The 2.8-liter M110 inline-six was factory rated at 156 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed and various hoses were replaced in January 2025.
The truck has been fitted with a five-speed manual transmission, and power is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a dual-range transfer case and locking front and rear differentials.
