64 230sl
« on: June 17, 2018, 01:28:09 »
Picked up a 64 230 yesterday. Been sitting for 25 years. A little rusty. Not as bad as the last car I did. Loved these cars for a long time an now I have one. Looking forward getting it cleaned up an seeing how bad it is. It will be in good company. Trying to turn the pic around, you may have to stand on your head to see them.

And it has the much sought after "anti-gravity" option!

Priceless these days, even more than in the 60s. Given the congestion and prices for parking under roof.
I see no point to lauh about.

This is not my first rusty car. or my first MB. Had a 63, 190 D  back in the 70s put a lot of miles on it. I am sure this will take a few years to get back this one on the road. The last car { an still working on it } is a 1959  Porsche 356 cab. It is at the paint shop getting painted now. Been 5 years to get to this point.  I am sure that it will take the same amount of time one this one. but I am sure that this is a project well worth  the time an money spent. this is a pict of my last project. the 230 is next
