Vehicle description
Up for sale 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL
This Benz received an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration between 2009-2012 while with its previous owner. The factory 2.3L inline-six was completely overhauled along with the 4-speed manual transmission. Several updates to the braking and cooling system were also performed as detailed below. The body was repainted in Signal Red, exterior chrome was refinished, and a replacement soft top frame was installed. New carpet, leather seat covers, and door panels were also fitted during the restoration.
Finished from the factory in Arabian Grey (124) with a contrasting black (040) hardtop, the car was completely stripped in 2009 and repainted in the current Signal Red while with the previous owner. All exterior brightwork was re-chromed at the same time, and new OEM bumpers were sourced and refinished. Color-matched steel wheels were fitted with Goodyear whitewall tires in 2009.
A new tan soft top was fitted along with a new frame during the restoration and is detailed in the gallery below. The unrestored factory Pagoda hardtop is also included and finished in black.
Originally trimmed in Medium Red (117) MB-Tex vinyl from the factory, the cabin was refinished by the previous owner with Bamboo (249) leather seat covers and matching door panels and carpets. New leather seat covers present well and are accompanied by new seat cushions for both occupants. Both the 2.3-liter inline-six and 4-speed manual gearbox were disassembled and completely overhauled with new components prior to reassembly.
For balance of payment I will accept bank wire transfer (outside of U.S. only), cashier"s check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears by my bank - U.S. Checks only). Cash deposit to my account or money orders from the U.S. only. All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. Please do not bid if you"re not seriously interested or financially able to purchase this vehicle.
