Details

This 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL roadster was factory-built with a Mocha Brown soft-top, an Ivory exterior and a Palamino leather interior. It is powered by a fully restored and matching-numbers fuel-injected 2.3-liter inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle has four factory options, including a leather interior, rear passenger buddy seat, vertical spare tire and the 4-speed automatic transmission. The current owner purchased this beautiful 1964 230SL with both hard- and soft-tops in Hamberg, Germany, in 1983 from the second owner and the vehicle was driven for many years in Southern California. Rocco Metalworks in Bend, OR, recently completed a full rotisserie restoration. The Ivory exterior is finished in Glasurit 21-line single-stage urethane. The Palamino seats, doors and all interior trim are finished in leather acquired from the original Italian supplier of leather to Mercedes-Benz for the 1964 SL models. All clamps, nuts and bolts are cadmium-plated and correct to original Mercedes-Benz specifications. The engine, transmission, rear end and fuel-injection system were rebuilt by Mike Newberry of Bend, OR - a Gold Star Mercedes-Benz mechanic for 10 years. The interior and soft-top were completed by Red Hot Interiors of Bend, OR. The sale comes with photos, German manuals and receipts for over $100,000 in genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.
