Description

This Vehicle is currently in transit. For additional information please contactnbsp;us atnbsp;Sales@SpecialtySales.comThis 250SL, as you can see from the price, is not your perfect trailer queen.nbsp;It is a salvaged title car due to theft according to the owner, but that being said, still drives great and would make an excellent project car or weekend driver.nbsp;nbsp; For those of you looking for something which you can tinker with and restore, then this may be the perfect candidate.nbsp;There are some signs of overspray on parts of the rubber moldings and the hood and doors have a slightly different shade of white then the rest of the car.The car more than makes up for some of its cosmetic flaws with the way it drives.nbsp;nbsp; The current owner recently spent over $5,000 on the engine.nbsp;All in all, everything is here, including the iconic pagoda hardtop.nbsp;All this 250 needs is a little TLC and this could be a wonderful weekend cruiser.The 2.5 liter 250 SL was introduced at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show with production commencing in December 1966 and ending in January 1968. The short one-year production run makes the 250 SL the rarest of the W 113 series cars. The 250 SL retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLs, but provided significantly improved agility with a new engine and rear disk brakes. Range also improved with increased fuel tank capacity from 17.2 US gal to 21.7 US gal, and resiliency improved with a new cooling water tank (round top) with increased capacity from 2.9 US gal to 3.4 US gal. Like its predecessor, the 250 SL was offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission, a 4-speed manual transmission, and the desirable ZF 5-speed manual transmission. For the first time, an optional limited slip differential was also available. Of the 5,196 250 SLs produced, more than a third were sold in the US. Information from Wikipedia.comnbsp;nbsp;
