This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL is a non-running project equipped with an injected 2.3-liter inline-six and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car reportedly belonged to a professor who moved to Arkansas upon retirement, and was subsequently owned by her daughter and a friend before being acquired by the seller more than a year ago. This W113 is now offered on a bill of sale in Arkansas with a removable Pagoda hardtop.

Originally Graphite Grey (190), the exterior now wears a matte grey finish contrasted by the black Pagoda hardtop. The car retains factory bumpers and US-market lighting, though the seller notes that the passenger door does not latch correctly.

The steel wheels are fitted with cracked tires, and three factory wheel covers remain fitted. The car rolls freely and is pictured both on the ground and on the seller’s trailer.

The cabin is upholstered in black, with deteriorated materials on both seats. Partial carpets are present, and the interior wood has warped and split. The car retains a factory steering wheel, instrumentation, and a Becker radio. 23k miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer, though the true total is unknown.

The 2.3-liter inline-six is equipped with mechanical fuel injection and was rated at 148 horsepower from the factory. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission. The seller has not attempted to start the engine.

Rust is present in the floors, trunk, and lower rear quarter panels. Additional photos of the underside are viewable in the gallery below.

The chassis plate is viewable above, and the trim tag on the radiator support is pictured in the gallery.
