A local Pagoda owner contacted me and said that he is considering selling his Pagoda. I will be heading over to see it this week, take some pictures and provide details to this site before it hits the Facebook, Craigslist, BAT?
I don't know much about it yet but it he says its in very good shape.
If any one is interested, stay tuned to this thread or send me a private message. He is hoping it will go to an enthusiast instead of a dealer.

I had a look at the Pagoda I mentioned earlier from a former member of this site (I think). Based on serial number it looks to be a 280sl manufactured in Feb 1968. The can seems very straight and all doors / hood / trunk all work very nicely. I went looking for rust and didn't find any. He is asking $105,000 Canadian Dollars so a bit less than $USD80,000. Comes with the hardtop and hardtop rack.
This was his uncle's car from California so the current owner does not know much of the history other than his uncle was a Mercedes guy and this was his personal toy for running errands. It appears that the car was a bright blue
