1966 Mercedes Benz 230SL, Tatty Driver or Concourse Restoration? You decide.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 230SL Pagoda

This beautiful Pagoda Benz has recently resurfaced after 2 decades. An older gentleman kept it as his first love, even though he updated his personal vehicles every 5 years. When his new Audi R8 turned up, the old Benz fell out of favor, as there is no comparison. He used to tool around on the back roads by his Rancheria, but alassuburban homes had been built up all around his country ranch. That is how long he kept it, from when there was not a house in sight, till the whole city came to him. This project is now available to the discerningenthusiast. The fuel system has been cleaned and now we are tackling an issue in the ignition switch. We have decided to offer the car now to see if there is an individual with the strongest resolve. The most concerning issue iscorrosion underneath the fender, where it meets the firewall. There has been an attempt to rectify this with a rudimentary patch job, that is less than concourse. The car is at a crossroads. It can be enjoyed as a pleasant and fun driver, with no fear of runaway shopping carts or careless kids. Or if you take the long way, itcould be a stunning blue chip investment. The choice is yours, thank you for considering the options and there are many more photos at your request, Mr Chatman.
