Hello and thank you for visiting my auction.

 

This auction is for 1 absolutely beautiful 1966 Mercedes Benz 230SL.  The car has a brand new restoration done by an incredible body shop in Miami Florida.  95% of the car has been refinished..  From a brand new paint job,  to new electric and wiring through out the majority of the motor.  This car is my from my personal collection.  I bought the car about 1 year ago and spent $17,000.00 during its restoration.  I purchased the car from the 2nd owner and it was 100% original!!!  I have pictures of the car when I first purchased it if you'd like to see.  Please send me your email and I will gladly send them. Below is a list of things to know about the car.

ON A SCALE OF 1-10, 10 BEING PERFECT,  THIS CAR IS A SOLID 7 and 3/4!

 

Exterior:  The 230 has a brand new,  6 month old Pearl White paint job.  It is absolutely stunning!  Originally,  the car was white and had some rust on the rear fenders,  and I had my body shop cut the metal and weld new metal back on.  (It was only about a square inch on both rear fenders).  I then had them paint the car with a high quality paint,  and as you can see from the finished product in the pictures,  it came out amazing and I was very happy with the finished product. ($7500.00 value).  The lines and body panels on this car are EXTREMELY straight.  This car was 100% original when I purchased it and the previous owner told me it had never been crashed or repainted!  In other words,  the body panel skins look like the day they came out of the factory in 1966. I also had the trunk lid replaced with a brand new one and that alone was $1,400.00. As you can see from the pictures,  there isn't one dent on any body panel on the car!

I've also added a brand new Navy Blue canvas top.  As you can see from the pictures,  it folds perfectly into the top-compartment and only takes about a minute to put the top down.  ($1300.00 value)

The tires on the car are in excellent shape and are only 1 year old.  They only have an estimated 2,000 miles on them.

The car also has all of the polished metal trim.  About 90% of it was re-installed.  I have the other few pieces needed,  but I have not had time to take it back to Miami where I had the car re-stored. I was told that the car still has some rust underneath. 

Interior:  The interior is also brand new!  I had everything taken out of the car when it was being restored at the body shop and taken to an upholstery shop in Miami as well.  As you can see from the pictures,  the seats, dash, visors, and convertible top-housing were completely re-done.  I tried to match the original color of the interior which was a "baseball clay" like color.  There is a picture of one of the original door handles on the seat for comparison. Once the car was put back together at the body shop,  I drove the car back to the upholstery shop and had them carpet all of the flooring, rear storage space,  and the trunk with brand new Navy blue carpet to match the Convertible top.  ($3,000.00 value)

Motor:  The car runs absolutely incredible!  I had 90% of the wiring through out the motor and car replaced as well as a new battery.  I also had all 12 rocker arms/lifters replaced about 3 months ago.  The car sounds excellent,  is quiet relative to its age,  and fires right up. ($4,500.00 value) IT DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS OVER HEATED! 

 There is only 1 very small issue that I can think of mechanically.  There is a very small oil leak coming from a gasket which I've already purchased and will come with the car.  The car will also come with a few other brand new cosmetic and mechanical parts which I've purchased to simply  anticipate any thing else mechanically although everything is is running perfect.

 

If you have any questions at all,  please message me right away.  PLEASE TRUST my incredible feedback.  I have sold countless cars, boats, jetski's, watches, and several other high end items that total well over $1,000,000.00 in sales on ebay,  all from my personal collection, and as you can see,  my feedback is almost perfect!  You are getting an absolute quality car! 

 

This is your chance to get a car valued by Hagerty Insurance @ $30,000.00 for a great price!  Very Low Reserve!  Best of luck!
