Description for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 1966

1966 Mercedes 230SL. Time Capsule! Euro model. 2 Tops. Original metal. Video. 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Roadster. From the estate of a longtime Northwest collector. He purchased this car from the original owner in 1978. It was enjoyed for 30 years and stored for the last several years. Recently recommissioned. Runs and drives well. At some time in the past this Mercedes was repainted in correct original "Horizon Blue/Medium Blue" (DB304/350) colors. A great combination. Shows well today with only a few very small bubbles under the paint near the driver's side headlight. Nothing big. but want to mention it. See photos. Otherwise. NO RUST. No signs of accidents or damage. Appears to be all original fenders and floor/trunk pans. Original chrome. Original hardtop in very good condition. The folding convertible top appears to have been replaced and in very good condition. Always garaged. The original red interior is very presentable. with wear noted to the driver's seat. All gauges work and register accurately. Becker stereo radio works. Upgraded speakers. Interior wood trim very good. Rare third seat and wicker shelf. I have recently driven this car nearly 50 miles and it runs and drives well and handles nicely on the road. as a Mercedes should. Plenty of power. Automatic transmission shifts well. Throaty mufflers add to the sports car feel. It does drip a few drops of oil. but again. nothing serious. Recently the fuel system and cooling system were refreshed. Mileage showing of 34. 50 kilometers is believed to be 134. 50 km. which translates to approximately 83. 00 miles. The condition of the car and known history seems to confirm this mileage as correct. Other than the re-paint. this is really a well-preserved and honest ORIGINAL car. It can be enjoyed now as a daily driver or taken to the next level. The only reason for selling is to settle the estate. A realistic reserve has been placed on the car. in keeping with its condition as described. Please bid accordingly.
