Description:
THIS… is a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 250SL California Coupe, finished in 450G Dark Maroon over a dark brown leather interior.
This example shows 64,501 original miles, supported by documented history. The exterior paint presents exceptionally well, retaining excellent integrity and finish quality. The body is reported to be completely rust-free, with no prior bodywork, and retains all original weld points and factory body markings.
The interior was fully redone less than one year ago, including new leather upholstery, new loop carpeting, and new wood trim. Additional recent updates include new seatbelts and sun visors installed in June. The car comes with new Coco mats as well as a second set of plush carpets, also new.
The engine bay remains original in appearance, with all components functioning as intended. Mechanical condition is described as excellent, with the engine showing strong compression and the automatic transmission shifting smoothly through all gears, including the often-problematic final downshift common to Pagodas when out of adjustment.
Recent service includes new brakes and tires, and the car is fully up to date on maintenance. The original tool kit, original spare tire, and original books are included.
Overall, this 1968 250SL California Coupe represents a highly authentic, well-documented, rust-free example with recent interior restoration, excellent mechanical condition, and strong originality throughout—an outstanding Pagoda ready to be enjoyed.
