Win one of six RDJ Dream Cars including this Mercedes-Benz 280SE
The RDJ Dream Mercedes-Benz 280SE is special for many reasons. First and foremost it was Robert’s mother's car.
It is also special because the W111 series which Mercedes built from 1959-1971 was the last of truly hand made cars they built.
Powered by a 2.8L gas engine that produced 158hp the 280 SE’s had a leather and wood dashboard and leather seats. They were very exclusive and expensive.
It had more power. It seemed happy. It's like it got a new ticker.
- Robert Downey Jr.
Engine Mod
Removed inline 6 cylinder 2.8l and installed a modern diesel engine converting the fuel system to biodiesel.
Installed custom lightweight wheels and tires to help improve the look, stance, and most importantly the gas mileage.
Water Cooler Mod
Installed synthetic suede like interior that has been recycled from plastic bottles. This product has the look and feel of genuine suede but is much more environmentally friendly.
