Re: [MBZ] WOW! I really like this car.
If it is an restoration it must be an older one because there is paint missing in the boot and that code plate looks very tired, also the woodwork on the dash does not seem to line up, which may indicate the use of cheap components.

Re: [MBZ] WOW! I really like this car.
And who wouldn't like to have the best of the SL models there is? That's a pretty subjective opinion. I've seen a few of the pre-107's, and decided that the 107 was more to my taste than any of the other SL's. But I expect that others would have differing opinions. Nice job on this car, if it's a restoration.

Re: [MBZ] WOW! I really like this car.
Down boy! Careful, this is a 99k odometer. Get a real history or look at it up close an personal. A real 99k 280SL taken care of will have a nice patina and not need restored Might be ok, but might not. Look at back issues of the Star for similar pagoda SLs. That is a reasonable price if it really is as advertised I think. I have not looked at Pagoda prices much in the last year. There are prople who specialize in SL appraisals. Pictures are a little too glitzy and it looks too much like armorall to be a real nice car. If it was really that nice, it would not need glitz and armorall. Make sure to look carefully UNDERNEATH. It obviously has been repainted. Might have masking tape and mud over rust holes for all i know. At 04:32 PM 5/14/2008, you wrote: http://tinyurl.com/5ajv43 Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] WOW! I really like this car.
Donald, Forgot to add, the Pagodas are beautiful cars and fun to drive. If you buy it, I'll give ya $500 for it next year when you are tired of it! If you want to see a true low mile Pagoda, I have a friend in the Davenport, IA area who I could probably persuade to show you his. NO, you can't buy it for any price. It is a 250SL, and that means 66 or 67. If my memory is right, his is a 67. It will make you drool. He bought it new. Loren At 04:32 PM 5/14/2008, you wrote: http://tinyurl.com/5ajv43 Donald H.
