Contact Tom Colitt on this site, who has a shop in LA (I believe in Malibu).  He owns and restores Pagodas and would be perfect for assessing your (hopefully) 1971 280SL.  Good luck!

Terry Shores is from Temecula and has been very active in this forum in the past. Run a search on his name in the forums and send him an e-mail. Very nice guy & a real enthusiast.

(I also agree that Tom Collit is also an excellent resource.)
