1969 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Roadster We are offering this spectacular 1969 280SL for sale. This Pagoda was the beneficiary of a restoration some years back and still shows extremely well. this beauty is finished in Signal Red over black leatherette. This SL comes with both it’s original Pagoda hard top and soft top. This Pagoda comes complete will all of it’s original tools. books and even it’s original factory build card showing how the car was equipped the day it left the factory! This car is a very clean and honest car. it appears to retain all of it’s original sheet metal. including the floors. truck or rockers. All of the factory pinch welds are in place on the fenders. Special attention was paid to preserving the car as it had left the Stuttgart (as a matter of fact this was the second to last SL produced for this model year) meaning all parts were left as original as possible. even the firewall pad is original. which for being nealy half a century old is in outstanding condition. -Exterior- This SL underwent a light restoration about 15 years ago. after which the owner used it sparingly. The car was parked in an enclosed garage and sat under a blanket for well over a decade. During restoration. this car was repainted in it’s original Signal Red color. which to this day looks amazing. The paint to this day looks great. the only flaw is a small scratch on the front left wheel well. The whole undercarriage. including the trunk. floors. outer rockers and wheel wells. nbsp;is as spotless as the body. all of the metal remains solid. however the inner rockers will need to be replaced. All of the chrome trim is original and in very good condition. but could benefit from a good polishing. The car looks amazing. especially considering the fact that this is how the car was found. it had not even been washed this century! This roadster comes with both hard and soft top. The hard top is in great condition. no dents in the metal or chrome. all the glass is nice and clear with no hazing. the headliner is in great condition with absolutely no rips or tears. -Interior- This SL is equipped with it’s original Becker Mexico Radio. clock and guages etc. The carpets. dash pad. door panels and seats appear to be all original as well. The black M-B Tex interior is in very good condition however the driver’s seat has a tear in the bolster. The carpets are spotless with no stains. wear. rips or tears. The interior chrome accent pieces are very nice. The wood trim is in good condition. As seen in the pictures. the interior is great condition. -Engine & Transmission- The drivetrain was supposedly rebuilt during the restoration process. however being that it was a "barn find" I did not want to take a chance starting the car to prevent any contamination of the injection system. The motor turns freely. -Pricing- If you are looking at this auction you are most likely familiar with these vehicles and know the value of them.
