1967 Mercedes Benz 230 SL

This pagoda SL belonged to the same family since it rolled off the lot in 1967. After spending much of its long life in storage the owner hired us to bring this beauty back to life. Its needs were simple, major rust repair and a new engine, but even a strait forward restoration takes time, patience and love.

We decided to mount the SL on the rotisserie due to extensive rust damage on the underside.

The engine restoration required as much attention as the body of the car, as it is an original motor with matching numbers. It was rebuilt to factory specifications using only Mercedes Benz parts.

The interior received a new carpet set, extensive cleaning and beautifully refinished mahogany trim.
