In this area there are 'real good' auto body guys. They know how to bondo, sand and paint. Although, if is mechanically good, it may serve well for many years as a driver. In CA climate, that is.
Collector? No.
Here is a snap shot of another more authentically looking 250S.
A 230 is a different body type. |
Yes you are correct. the 230 is a compact.
I would run from any that age that have been repainted. ~ Mutton done up as lamb !!
