Hello again everyone, well as I move through life and change hobbies/focus to other interests and forums, I have now returned back to sl113.org. My 1967 250SL was not driven too much over the last few years (only on sunny weekends) but now it has become my daily driver for the next few weeks. Re-acquainting my love for the Pagoda has been great, it stills runs like a champ and the weather has been nice (Sunny 70 degrees F, no rain).
I never paid much attention to the VIN num or sent away for the Data Card as this car was restored in Stuttgart (European model) while we were stationed at Patch Army Base. I decided to look and SURPRISE "think" I have an early 250SL!! VIN 113 042-12-001834 113 043-12-001834. Can anyone confirm that this is considered an early 250SL? Originally it was Signal Red but against many opinions I did a color change to Anthracite Grey during the second restoration. Anyways, I'll have more questions to come as I really need to detail the engine bay.
-Cheers...another Pagoda moves from trailer queen to daily driver! So much fun to drive these cars...
