Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

331/300hp, dual quads, automatic, power steering and brakes, pushbutton radio, chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls.

Flawed, scratched, scuffed and cracked old repaint. Scratched chrome, butt-burnished but sound upholstery. Dry original old underbody. A tired but sound used C-300.

Market commentary

A black C-300 is aggressive in ways few others are and continue to induce rapid breathing for their luxury and performance. This one is a rolling restoration project with some sound originality that can be retained to advantage and it brought a price that is appropriate to what it is, and to its potential.
