I've decided to sell my `72 230/8. 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 and a new exhaust. The car starts beautifully and I have no issues with the Zeinith carbs. There is rust in the trunk which I've fixed temporarily and the rear 1/4 panels are also rusty. The battery tray is half gone but I've added some support. There is also corrosion in the left inner front fender that I've repaired with fiberglass. This car has been my daily driver for the past year and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere.
