69 280 SL idle problem

When I start the car cold it takes about 10 minutes to come off fast idle.
However after the car is warm if I turn the car off and then immediately start it again it again goes to fast idle for another 10 minutes.
Any suggestions?

Join the mb club of america mbca.org they specialize in these crumpet catchers, seriously, plus there are discounts and events.
Hemming is $41k on these.
Almost bought an SLC......Did this car come out of Sheffield, Ma or thereabouts? Trust fund purchase?
