I call my 230SL 5 speed the Red Rocket ; named it after the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar. Signal red.
Interesting car; 250SE engine, 230SL cam, early 230 header pipes, 280SL pressure plate, 300SE dual point distributor, late 280SL oil pan, visco fan clutch, ZF 5 speed, polly bushings, LSD with 3.92 gearing. I installed power steering in the car and the oil cooler which it didn't have. It will eassily do 200KPH.

I had this old 114 280 sedan. Very rusty car in a sort of of white colour. I called it Lugee because it kind of looked like one.....
