Vehicle Description
1 of only 185 produced in the final year of the 230SL. It is still
powered by the original, matching numbers, 2.3L inline 6 cylinder
and 4 speed automatic. With just one repaint in 50 years and still
retaining it's original interior, this Pagoda SL is in very nice
condition. We are told this is a two owner car. Spending most of
it's life in Nashville and had approximately 70,000 miles on it
when purchased by the second owner, who eventually brought the Benz
to his vacation home here in Scottsdale, AZ. Although not
originally built as a sports car, Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer
Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as any
racing driver, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on the
tight three-quarter mile Annemasse Vétraz-Monthoux race track in
1963, where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds vs. 47.3
seconds by Grand Prix driver Mike Parkes on his 3-liter V12 Ferrari
250 GT. These 230 SL's are considered by many to be one of the
finest cars to come from the Stuttgart firm. That is saying a lot!!
