I was hoping for a close looking radiator not that the his reproduction isn't great. I was hoping to find a cross reference part number or another car with same radiator.

Don't think that will happen for you. It has to be a 230SL rad to work right.

Find a local radiator shop that can re-core it, they basically make one from scratch and use the old one as a template.
