Hello all,

I just joined the group. I purchased my first Pagoda last Tuesday. I am really enjoying it. Runs and drives well. Have been tinkering with a few things, but all in all seems great!,

I purchased the car from the wife of the gentleman that had owned it since the early 80’s.

Thanks for adding me in…

what is your chassis number? Looks like an early '67, the best of all Pagodas!

Dehcho · « **Reply #2 on:** November 20, 2022, 05:55:40 »

I will look it up tomorrow.

Thank you

Looks like ivory with turquoise interior. Absolutely gorgeous combo! More photos please.

Congrats...great looking Pagoda! I'm on the other side of the Province but similar to you am new to the Pagoda SL Group with a white '65 230.

Wow: Looks like the care at one time was close to NE Ohio. The Southgate Shopping Center isn't really a shopping center anymore. Where did the owner live? I once knew a 230SL of that color in our area.

From what I know the owner lived in Hudson Ohio. He was a tour manager for Pink Floyd and other bands.

Hmmm. Not sure what to make of your tag which is quite different from my original one.

Dehcho · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2022, 02:44:36 »

Better shot of it. It’s located under the hood in the engine compartment

As per the Tech Manual, not a 250sl but a 230SL from Aug 1966 production.

Jack Eby?? (or similar) Lived (or lives) in Hudson, Ohio. Wasn't in the music business, though. He was a salesman for a corporation I used to work for and later had his own toy shop.

Hello, interested to see what colour this is, there should be a plate just behind the washer bottle, if you post a picture we can decipher what paint colour it is

Dehcho · « **Reply #16 on:** November 22, 2022, 04:09:21 »

I will look for that tomorrow.

Thanks!

Dehcho · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2022, 19:06:41 »

Here is the data plate.. Is this what shows color, options etc?

Dehcho · « **Reply #18 on:** November 22, 2022, 19:12:46 »

looks like the colour is Called 716 Graubeige (Grey Beige)

BobH · « **Reply #19 on:** November 22, 2022, 21:03:23 »

That's correct, i suspect it's quite a rare colour, the other numbers are option codes, as far as i can make out, Auto+Power Steering, Heavy Duty Heat Exchanger (not sure how this differs from standard?) & left side door mirror (door mirrors were not standard, they were all options

The 6 means it came with a hardtop and the 7 was a US delivery

The interior looks like turquois, but hard to tell from the pictures, the interior colour and whether it was supplied with leather or MB Tex, carpet colour and other options can only be confirmed by the data card for the car, this listed all options when it was ordered, if you don't have it with the car and it's important to you, a copy can be ordered, details where from are on here if you search

It's really interesting to find out more about these cars, well worth the time searching on here using the search function above and the tech manual

Dehcho · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2022, 00:36:22 »

Thanks Bob,

I will definitely order the Data card. This type of information is important to me. I will search the forum and figure out how to get one.

It’s a unique colour combo.

If it is turquoise, it's very rare, there's a white turquoise car in Australia

Beautiful combination, a real period colourway, but them i'm biased as i have white/blue

His name might have been Jules Belkin. He was the promoter for most of the big concerts in the 70s and 80s. Not sure he was local though.

SL113 Board Member "Alex D" has a 181 Light Beige with turquoise interior. He used to live in NE Ohio, but is now in North Carolina.

Dehcho,

I'm glad you're going to participate in our group! It's well worth the time (and money, as a Full Member).

This is a large forum, with lots of sections for specific things. I'll ask the moderator to move this introduction thread to the appropriate area, pictured below.

We have quite a few Canadian members, so I hope you can meet a few and share some Pagoda stories in person.
