Going to look at a Pagoda this week - it will be for sale in Vancouver BC Canada

[Bonnyboy]

A local Pagoda owner contacted me and said that he is considering selling his Pagoda.  I will be heading over to see it this week, take some pictures and provide details to this site before it hits the Facebook, Craigslist, BAT? 

I don't know much about it yet but it he says its in very good shape.

If any one is interested, stay tuned to this thread or send me a private message.  He is hoping it will go to an enthusiast instead of a dealer.

I had a look at the Pagoda I mentioned earlier from a former member of this site (I think).    Based on serial number it looks to be a 280sl manufactured in Feb 1968.  The can seems very straight and all doors / hood / trunk all work very nicely.  I went looking for rust and didn't find any.   He is asking $105,000 Canadian Dollars so a bit less than $USD80,000.   Comes with the hardtop and hardtop rack.

This was his uncle's car from California so the current owner does not know much of the history other than his uncle was a Mercedes guy and this was his personal toy for running errands.  It appears that the car was a bright blue
