Retro Designs built this 1969 Mercedes 280 SE (W111) at their company in Harrisburg, North Carolina. The car is no longer powered by a 2.8 L M130 inline-six. Retro Designs swapped a 5.4 L M113 V8 typically found in a Mercedes C55 AMG. Behind the motor is a 5G-Tronic 722.6 5-speed automatic transmission controlled by a Sound German Automotive TCU. The car rides on a custom chassis with an upgraded suspension. Retro Designs painted the body in Porsche Irish Green color accented by custom billet wheels. On the inside they restored the chrome and wood paneling, added brown leather seats with custom door panels, and installed Dakota Digital custom gauges.

What a beautiful car! I hope they are successful in building lots of these.
