What’s special about this listing

Beautiful 2 tone Red-Black / 4 Speed Manual / Outstanding condition / Museum Collection

Recently emerged from the famed Academy of the Arts Collection in San Francisco, this fabulous Mercedes-Benz 230SL “Pagoda” is now available for sale.

Finished in Fire Truck red, with a black leather interior, black canvas top and a black hardtop, strikes a strong elegant curb appeal and a time travel experience to a period specification between sport and elegance.

It’s evident that the car enjoyed a midlife restoration where the body was completely repainted, interior done and mechanicals gone through. Notches where deleted during this process. Arrow straight body shows no rust and an extraordinary condition all around, part because of its long-time storage at The Academy of the Arts.

Engine performs without a hiccup and the power is transferred effortlessly through the manual transmission without slippage. Factory wheels ride on period correct Pirelli Cinturato vintage tires dated 07.

Car is fitted with US Specification head and taillights.
Soft top shows in extraordinary condition with no stains, or blemishes, rear window is clear as well. Hard top condition is also par with the rest of the car.

Odometer shows 49,210 Kilometers (~30750 Mls) at the time of listing.
