1966 230SL Euro For Sale
« on: February 28, 2013, 02:53:19 »
Hello all. I regret to say that after personally owning this car for 13 years (my father-in-law owned it for 18 years prior to me), I am selling my 1966 230SL Euro. $18,000 is my asking price. I am offering this to my fellow SL owners first. Please check out the photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gatorjaws3wdl/8511311379/

The floors and frame rails are all in fine shape, as well as all wheel wells. The car was caught in a hail storm when my father-in-law owned it so there is some bondo on the body (front and rear fenders). The hood and trunk were replaced. The Hella spot lights are from the 60s era as is the Nardi steering wheel. I installed a 123 electronic ignition distributor ( I have the points distributor) and an electric cooling fan. I also fabricated a cold air intake that works really well. If you have any questions please contact me through this website or at gatorjawsw113@gmail.com.

sorry to hear that you decided to split with the old friend, but I guess that circumstances often force us do do that. Thank you for the brilliant pictures that show your Red beauty. I am convinced that your Pagoda will find a good new haven in no time.

Thank you for the responce Stan. I hope you are right about the car. It has given me a lot of pleasurable mile on the road & I am really looking foward to seeing it go to a good home.
There are 50 or so pictures to look at but if anyone wants to see something specific please let me know. Also if the Nardi wheel is not your thing I have both  white and black steering wheels and matching shift knobs.
