I've decided to sell my `72 230. It was a private import with a 2.3 litre six, 4-speed floor shift, no AC or power steering and cloth seats. The brakes have been rebuilt and it has new subframe mounts, clutch slave cylinder and a new exhaust. The car starts beautifully and I have no issues with the Zeinith carburetors. There is rust in the trunk which I've fixed temporarily and the rear 1/4 panels are also rusty. This car has been my daily driver for the past year and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere.
