1963 Mercedes-Benz W113 SL

This 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230SL was purchased by the seller in 1982. It is powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission and finished in white over black leather. Equipment includes a blue convertible top, a removable hardtop, power steering, chrome wire wheels, a heater, and a Becker Mexico cassette stereo. This W113 SL is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name. The W113 SL was designed by Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq and was introduced to the public at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. This example is finished in white and features a blue soft top, a removable hardtop, a retractable antenna, dual side mirrors, and European-specification headlights. Chrome 14″ wire wheels were mounted with 195/70 Michelin Defender tires in 2012. The car is equipped with power steering and front disc brakes, and service in 2024 has included replacing the steering drag link and steering box bushings. The cabin features black leather seats, a body-color dashboard, wood trim, a heater, and a Becker Mexico cassette player. The gallery has photos of the seats without their covers. The ivory-colored steering wheel was installed in 1993 and frames a 220-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 54k kilometers (~34k miles) and has rolled over. The 2.3-liter M127 inline-six was factory equipped with Bosch fuel injection. The seller notes that the radiator was re-cored in 2023. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Service in 2024 has included rebuilding the transmission and replacing the clutch disc. Filed under: pagoda, sl, w113
