Title: Entry-level 230SL for sale in DC area-SOLD
Post by: ctaylor738 on November 16, 2020, 18:28:21
No financial interest in this, helping friends sell their 1967 230SL, number 14580 showing 31,744 miles, believed to have rolled over once.  I resuscitated this car earlier this year after approximately ten year’s indoor storage.  It received a new battery, rebuilt short pump, new Dansk fuel tank, and Timevalve exhaust in addition to a complete fluid service.  The car starts, runs and drives well.  Can be enjoyed as is, with good upside potential for improvements.

Some specifics:

-   Automatic transmission and air conditioning
-   Originally 158 white gray, now silver with black hard and soft tops
-   Black ‘tex interior and carpets
-   Soft top in poor condition
-   Aftermarket stereo
-   All instruments except tachometer functioning
-   Engine compartment clean but not detailed
-   Few miles on expensive ($30K) factory engine
-   Front sheet metal replaced and car was painted at some point
-   Cosmetic issues include scratches on trunk lid
-   Michelin XWX whitewalls are old but show no sun damage or flat spots

$36K or reasonable offer.

PM or email me for more information.

Cheers,

Chuck

Chuck,
That sounds like a fantastic deal for a running/driving Pagode.
The seller should get their price !!
Take care,
Mark

My 230SL from Oct. 1966 is number 18381, so someone changed a title somewhere along the line.

Well Rodd, It looks like our cars must have been in the paint booth together.  My number is 18378.  Delivered to a dealer in Hannover Germany, October 7th 1966.   8)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I am beginning to understand that this is not a great place to sell a car.  So far, the post has only attracted associate members whose only posts have been efforts to buy cars and flip them.  My honest description of the car was used as a stick to beat the price down. 

I was really hoping to attract potential buyers who want a place to start their Pagoda adventure.  Oh well.  On to The Star and Hemmings.

Cheers,

CAT

Hi CAT

That’s very sad to hear that. I thought the price was very good but sadly not in the market myself to buy one

Those who contacted you should be ashamed of themselves

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way in which the group can stop such people registering

This is too bad Chuck. Perhaps those of us who are serious enthusiasts ... already have a Pagoda. Mark it up to $45K and sell it on the other platforms is what I would do.

That’s a real shame Chuck, I thought the price was really good for a starter.  Like Cees said up the price and list in the normal places.


Appears we have some flippers lurking around.  Hard to monitor and manage.

If you have a car that you need to part with quickly these would be your guys. As long as you had it priced at 25 points below wholesale that is.

I am in the market and I think you priced it right. However I really want a manual car, so I am trying to stay focused. If it were manual I would have been all over it. I assume there are some rust issues....?
