Kevin,
As someone else has already intimated, the rare Mercedes SL which you saw,
if indeed it was a W107 body style, was a 280SL which were made from '74-'85
and not imported to the U.S. as far as I know (See pg. 140, Mercedes-Benz
Production Models Book 1946-1990, by W. R. Nitske.

But we were talking
I'm certain that it was a W107 chassis, not a W113.

I have often seen a W107 280SL in downtown Portland as well. One
particular one, I mean---red with a stick shift, parked at the south
