New Arrival, '66 230SL (BLOG)
With the 350SL on it's way to a European owner, I was actually without a real project car, for over a week, so when this one came along, I couldn't resist. It's a '66 230SL (113.042, M129.981), Light Ivory/Red. ?46K, redone at least once, 4-speed. Very complete, redone interior. Last June, the PO ran it out of oil and the #1 connecting rod turned into a large lump of molten metal, and broke.
This may be a challenge, since a lot of 230 parts are NLA, but I'm glad to have a Pagoda again. Some pics attached, stay tuned, provide advice - I will blog on this thread.
