Congratulations to Eran Gilad, our winner of the 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SE, the third of six RDJ Dream Cars to be given away!
The last year of the hand-built Mercedes-Benz generation
It had more power. It seemed happy. It's like it got a new ticker.

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.
