Up for sale is a Blue, on blue, on blue Mercedes Benz 250 SL. Colors are quite striking and unique. Matching numbers. Automatic Transmission, Air Conditioning (blows but not cold, only needs re-charging). Has hard top. Original fenders with all welds showing clearly, no rust is apparent on this body or underneath. Recently went though a nice cosmetic restoration with new paint, seats, top, wood and dash. Car was painted and underside is as original with no rust through at all. This car is mechanically sound and runs great and looks very nice. It is ready to put the top down and drive to the country club or your local car show. I looked for quite a while for a car without rust and found this one. I really don't want to sell it as it turned out so great but I must due to other circumstances. This will make someone a fine car. I will have difficulty replacing it for what I am willing to sell it for. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. Ebay'rs: I have received a flood of inquiries about this car. Please understand that this is not your deal of a lifetime! It is not a 100 point car valued at over $100K and I will not end the auction early for you for $35K! This has been a huge waste of my time and it will be of yours if you think that you are the worlds greatest negotiator and that you can get this car way under its value. Sorry to be so blunt but some of these requests are ridiculous so I am trying to eliminate them. What this is is a very solid 47 year old Mercedes Benz 250 SL. It is a car that you can drive today and be proud of. It is not a concourse car but is very nice to look at and gets a lot of attention. I purchased it with full intention of doing a cosmetic restoration and keeping it in my garage for many years. Something has come up that I would be better of selling the car. I am not desperate. 250SL's are the rarest of all of the Pagoda cars. So while the 280's have skyrocketed in value over the last two years there is a lot of upside to the 250's. Some would say that this is the most valuable of all of the 60's Pagodas, it is certainly the rarest. I am willing to sell the car for what I have in it. Which is a very reasonable price for a very solid car. I realize that there are probably cheaper cars out there but buyer be ware. Repairs and restorations of these cars is very expensive, especially if it has the typical rust issues. So getting one at this price that is ready to drive is a real bargain. I hope that this clarifies this auction further. I will welcome talks with anyone who is serious about buying a nice solid car. All reasonable offers will be considered and I would be willing to close this auction.
