The craigslist link doesn't work anymore.
Is there perhaps another link with pitures of the car?
This was somehow mentioned above.

Much appreciated.....

I actually bought my pagoda from Gallery Junction a little over a year ago and am very pleased with it. A few paintwork blemishes and tired bits of interior but nothing too difficult to take care of / live with. Most importantly the car runs well, is solid, rust-free and very original, and I of course had it properly inspected.

I'll reserve judgement on their current offerings to those much closer and well-informed than I!

A nice 230SL 5 speed did not meet reserve the other day on BAT. At $165K it didn't meet reserve.

I saw that Cees, there's another one being offered on sale on BAT (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-mercedes-benz-230sl-38/)... and one advertised in the UK on Facebook as well.

Like buses...

I think the yellow 5-speed 230SL for sale is the one from Will Samples workshop:

If so it is probably running nicely at least. But yes there seem to be some rust spots under.

For some reason, cars for sale websites in France often include cars that are physically located in the US. If you are interested in one, they will buy, ship and import it for you, from the US. Note that this particular one carries a $10K markup to get it to France, on French papers.

Does anybody recall some of the ads in the past years that list a Pagoda with the special zundfolge engine?  ;)

Yes, but I've often wondered if it is the export market zundfolge engine that is special or the home market one?  ;^)
