Dieter, apparently this car now belongs to fellow forum member "kiheimatt" and has been under discussion for a couple of weeks since he reported the purchase.  See the recent thread under general discussion, "1965 230SL Resto-Mod (Corvette Engine, Jag rear end)".  I understand kiheimatt is also trying to determine the origin of the conversion.

Stay tuned!!
