The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.
Exterior and Interior
You may enjoy classic Mercedes in a variety of colors, but none will enchant you like a simple and sophisticated white paint. That’s exactly what this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL offers you, together with the complementing body-colored 14” wheels boasting the three-pointed star. This car rolls on a set of Michelin All-Season white wall tires that add to its vintage mien. All brightwork of the car, including the front and rear bumpers, light frames, side body trim, and window frames, seem to be in good condition. You also get the curved front windshield that is a lost art of yesteryears. As you open the doors to this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL, the imposing red interior comes into view. This two-door beauty provides comfortable space for two passengers, and behind the seats is a carpeted storage space. The large two-spoke classic steering wheel and the dash are a sight to behold as they take a two-tone theme.
Engine
A 6-cylinder 2308cc powerhouse motivates this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL. This engine is reportedly factory-rated at 150 PS (110 kW; 148 HP). This engine is married to an automatic transmission and is assisted by Bosch multiport fuel injection from the factory. According to its owner, the engine and transmission on this car are original. Stopping power is courtesy of front disc and rear drum brakes with vacuum assist.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL is one of those designs that needs very little introduction, and the 230 SL is where the celebrated “Pagoda” story began. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Roadster shows approximately 28,430 miles and combines elegant open-top styling with the mechanical character enthusiasts expect from an early W113: a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension. Finished in dark blue over a tan interior with a white convertible soft top, it has the classic proportions, restrained chrome detailing, and driver-focused simplicity that make these cars so enduring. Upgraded Focal speakers add a subtle modern touch without taking away from the car’s unmistakably period atmosphere.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful roadsters ever produced, blending elegant styling, engineering sophistication, and grand touring comfort into a timeless package. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Restomod takes that iconic foundation and elevates it with modern Mercedes-Benz performance and drivability through the installation of a 5.0L M113 V8 and matching 5G-Tronic automatic transmission sourced from a 2003 SL500. Showing approximately 7,571 miles, this professionally upgraded roadster combines the unmistakable charm of a classic Pagoda with contemporary reliability, comfort, and power, creating a unique driving experience that can be enjoyed far more frequently than a traditional vintage automobile.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class line-up dates back to 1954, and represents the finest grand tourer that Mercedes-Benz can offer. This means that it’s got a fantastic blend of comfort, luxury and performance. It’s not a track stormer nor is it a luxobarge; it’s a car meant to drive for hundreds of miles without so much as feeling an aota of tiredness. Today, we’ve got a 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL for sale, a car that’s held in high regard by classic car aficionados. This Texas-based machine has covered 54,282 miles to date and packs an engine replacement with a previously rebuilt unit for better reliability and longevity.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
