Another in our series of special cars : a 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL W113 -- automatic European specification car. Because it was imported to California early in it's ownership history it enjoys "Dual Citizenship" : European lighting / gauges and other specifications while it's service history with a Mercedes-Benz Club enthusiast resulted in a rust - free W113 "California Transplant"...Details of note include show quality chrome paint and engine bay. The engine was properly tuned by a Factory Trained Mercedes-Benz Technician and many other adjustments and operations were performed. The car is genuinely quick and certainly holds true to it's original Rally heritage (see internet)...We have completely enjoyed driving the car both in it's "Sound Look + Feel" as well as the constant public comment ...W113 Mercedes-Benz cars have a legendary status: in our opinion a 230SL has a bit more "snap + crackle" for a several very good reasons: it is the only engine in the series with a "tuned header" as well as a hotter cam--- the later cars were softened up with cast iron manifolds and milder cams. The comparison is clear once made it is evident. Also not widely known early cars (pre 1968) have a Fluid Coupling versus a Torque Converter in the transmission. The Fluid Coupling has less power loss and a firmer shift sequence--- a Torque Converter has more "give" and a higher Stall Speed resulting in a softer power delivery. As mentioned we drive and enjoy our cars and in the process give them expert care and use. All major systems are in proper operating condition - temperatures / pressures / shift points etc. Brakes have been serviced all gauges lights and other systems all worked properly when tested.

In summary this car is ready to use now. It has been a great experience for us and we are confident the next owner will enjoy it as much as we did.
