Title: Red '68 280SL - Pics From Start to Sale
Post by: KevinC on July 09, 2014, 19:46:28

I'm certain that some would consider it a flip but to me it was certainly a great deal more...an opportunity for my dad and I along with some great local friends and service providers to take a Pagoda with Potential literally out of the snow and sort/refurbish it to be a collector-quality vehicle. Since I am not so mechanically inclined myself, my role as "general contractor" suited me just fine. In the end, there is now another attractive, road-worthy SL on the street once again...

Kevin,
the car looks fabulous. You did well as General Contractor :)

Is that you second Pagoda, since you have a 670 Ivory one already?

Thanks Jon,

576 red is an interesting color...in the bright sun it looked like signal red and in the shade it appeared like burgundy color.


Stan,

Thanks for the compliment.  That was Pagoda #2 for nine months. The Ivory 230 is a keeper.
