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.

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.
