Background Story of this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL

Overview of 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL For Sale by Owner

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.

PENDING SALE
$52,499
SOLD

Mercedes-Benz Introduced their roadster at the Geneva Motor Show back in 1963, with production beginning shortly after. The beautiful design of this two-door sports car was thanks to lead designers, Paul Bracq and Bela Barenyi, who were responsible for the creation of the patented, slightly concave, hardtop — a feature that incited the ‘Pagoda’ nickname. The car grabbed the attention of enthusiasts worldwide, claiming its place on the list of many motoring journals as one of the most beautiful cars that were ever made. This sublime example of German auto craftsmanship can be observed in Georgia with no more than 9600 miles of labor, making it a rare piece for anyone who gets the opportunity to claim ownership

If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G550

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$84,999

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.

1969 Ford Torino Cobra

PENDING SALE
$68,999

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

PENDING SALE
$69,999

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
