RED 2005 SL65
MARS RED SL65
I wanted to introduce myself as I am new to this forum. I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my new 2005 SL65 from Passport Transport from California. I am so excited to have purchased such a rare find. My thanks go out to Jimmy Lucci with Elite Detailing from Dana Point, California for doing a full paint correction to make this car look better than new! I included pictures of my wifes 1999 MAGMA RED 500SL sport that she's owned for almost 10 years as well as the new SL65. Thanks to all who participate on this forum as it has already given me a wealth of knowledge. Chris Covinsky
