Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Automatic, P B. An unusual stripped 300 without P S, heater, wire wheels, clock, radio or A C. Full wheel covers, wide whitewalls. 2005 restoration to better than new condition with 20 class wins since in various shows. Comes with owners manual, maintenance schedule and assorted C 300 literature. An outstanding and unusually configured car. No Reserve.

Market commentary

This C 300 is the best of the best, an outstanding example and one that will always start a conversation when its configuration is brought up. The Astor bidders where obviously aware of its condition and had confidence to bid high above RMs estimate. It is expensive, but it is the best and a similar restoration even of an exceptionally well preserved C 300 would cost at least as much as the price paid here.
