1966 230 SL

Since I am fairly new to this site I will post a few pictures of my 1966 230 SL. I bought the car in Nov 2008. A few months prior to that it was purchased to resale from the 2nd owner that had the car since the late 1960s. She stopped driving the car in the mid 1980s the car had about 56,200 actual miles at that time. Several oil change stickers a few documents in the glove box and the Ca title state this was the actual milage.
The person I bought it from had it listed on ebay after he got it running again and it turned out to be less than 15 miles from my house in Pa. The car didn''t sell for 2 months and I was the only person to go look at the car. The guy lowered the price by $5k from his original listing so I took my wife to look at it. She actually said "ok you can get it" after she saw the car.
It came with hard top only with soft top compartment option 5 on the data plate. I bought a used frame and had the soft top installed. The mounting bolts were in the compartment already so it was a straight forward costly install with no modifications.
The car was repainted some time over 20 years ago and still looks good. The interior is original caviar MB tex.
