Well, finally got logged on.  So I thought I would introduce myself.  Terry Shores from Temecula, Cal.  Just got interested in Mercedes roadsters about 2 years ago.  In that time I have had one white 71 280sl and around 11 560 sl's and 3 sl500's.  I have sold nearly all of them and have finally settled down to just two.  A 01 red sport model and my favorite of all, a 1971 280sl signal red with black (optional) leather, a/c, auto, hard and softtop BEAUTY.  Has 44460 original miles.  Just purchased it from cooperclassiccars.com in New York.  Has zero rust and drives perfect.  I am in the process of learning all I can about these cars because I would like to start showing this car.  I joined this site because I have noticed there are alot of people here with a whole bunch of knowledge. So, just a warning, I will be asking alot of questions. The car is probably a 9 on a 10 scale and I plan on making it a 10.  
Thanks,
Terry

Terry,

Please be very cautious buying from this dealer.

Douglas, thanks for the info.  After I received the car, I took it to M.B. Services in Murrieta, Ca. near my home.  The two owners have about 25 years each restoring Mercedes.  Many gullwings, 190's and 280sl's.  They said I got a really good one!!  So far, I am very pleased.

Terry,

Hello and welcome!  If you don't already have one, start by requesting a Data Card from the Classic Center.  That will tell you a lot about your car in particular.

If you have specific questions, use the Search function on this forum to find information/answers.  There's tons of answers provided over the last couple years' worth of discussions, but not everything!

I hope we can help you enjoy your new Pagoda to the fullest.
