Yup, we love classic cars. But, of course, we do. If you have any love for automobiles, you have to appreciate the classics. Today we get a look at a sleek, stylish design from 1965 that is on the market. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda Coupe might not be a 300SL, but it’s something special in its own right. Designed by Paul Bracq, the vehicle would eventually become an icon and would firmly place Mercedes-Benz in the US market.
The vehicle included a solid chassis, powerful brakes, and a fuel-injected inline-six that delivered impressive performance for the era. The car was a popular option for celebrities and stars while representing innovative automotive safety elements. The 230SL was the first car to feature a rigid passenger compartment with designated crumple zones. This particular model features a white exterior with a black interior, boasting a perfect body and recently recovered interior. The original hardtop covers a working soft top, while the motor was recently refreshed.
This classic is ready to hit the road, and it could be yours. Take a closer look at this beautiful 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda Coupe and head over to The Market to find out more. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more classic cars, new rides, and concepts coming soon.
