You know that every car company has models that we call 'orfans'.
Ones that are the odd one out or perhaps not so loved.
I must say I love most full size Chevrolets between 54 and 76...
However, some models do nothing for me.
1960 was one of those... It leaves me cold.

Hi Michel,

You might recongise this SL for sale?

Pricewise, it seems a better than fair buy. I must admit though, that I don't particularly like those huge fins/shape of boot. It also seems to be in good condition. Regards Styria

Thanks Tim,

It's in my sights.
He's come down to $5000, but it is a 350SL and I've gone cold...

That is the ultimate in fins (in Chevrolet). A 1959 Impala




On the other side, the 1961 saw very subdued fins and is one of my favourite Chevs (I have owned many of that model including a couple of convertibles)



and these are the two models in the one pic

You never know the seller might be negotiable on the price?

It's been around a few times on eBay...
I suspect it's a UK import on account of the mph speedo.

I'll wait to see how the bidding goes.

It's easy enough to change the speedo - I have a miles/kilometer speedo in Gleaming Beauty. I just wanted something a bit different - in other words, something that not everyone has.

BTW Tim, just as a matter of some importance, Michel already has a very nice, and unusual 500SL - I would be hard pressed to think that he would want an additional W107. Regards Styria

Hello Styria,

Yes I know Michel has a very nice and unusual 500SL I have seen the car myself and look forward to a drive in the car.

If I do remember correctly Michel was interested in purchasing a 450SLC W107, please correct me if I am mistaken?

All the best Styria.

Styria you've been outta the loop for a bit!!! It seems Michel is looking into selling what's currently in his stable for a 450SLC that he can heavily customize.....
