Very excited right now after spotting this car 3 years ago and 4 months of negotiations i just bought this CSL :mrgreen: vin # 2285186 sold new in the UK
Its a right hand drive 1972 CSL finished in Fjord blue with city package, electric windows, its been in Los Angeles since the late 70's judging from the blue California license plates, it was last registered in 1986 and has been in storage since then. Has 94,500 miles which i think are original, the engine has all the original hose clamps and parts which is nice to find, interior is pretty rough as the windows were smashed about 3 years ago and the sun has cracked the wood, trees were growing through the back window!!
Rust is very minimal which is super rare, floor pans, window surrounds, spare tire pan, shock towers are all rust free, small spot of rust on one rocker panel, and the left inner panel was patched years ago, which i am going to redone to make sure its done properly.
Going to need some glass, carpet, redo the seats, door panles, correct steering wheel, and some new tires, drain all the fliuds and refill, lube the cylinders by hand and try to start her up next week.
If anyone has some info on the car like when and where is was sold in the UK that would be great, and a lead on some parts as well
cheers
