1 of only 185 produced in the final year of the 230SL. It is still powered by the original, matching numbers, 2.3L inline 6 cylinder and 4 speed automatic. With just one repaint in 50 years and still retaining it's original interior, this "Pagoda" SL is in very nice condition. We are told this is a two owner car. Spending most of it's life in Nashville and had approximately 70,000 miles on it when purchased by the second owner, who eventually brought the Benz to his vacation home here in Scottsdale, AZ. Although not originally built as a sports car, Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as any racing driver, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on the tight three-quarter mile Annemasse Vtraz-Monthoux race track in 1963, where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds vs. 47.3 seconds by Grand Prix driver Mike Parkes on his 3-liter V12 Ferrari 250 GT. These 230 SL's are considered by many to be one of the finest cars to come from the Stuttgart firm. That is saying a lot!! Call today and come take this one for a drive.
