Equipment
2996cc/240hp six-cylinder, 4-speed, Rudge wheels, fitted luggage, Becker Mexico radio.
Condition
Sold new to an American serviceman in Germany, and originally finished in Fire Engine Red over black. Restored by Rudi Koniczek. Excellent paint and body. The chrome and trim are all excellent. The underbody is restored and clean and the interior shows little noticeable wear. A very good older restoration that still presents well.
Market commentary
RM sold this Gullwing in 2003 for $258,500, and again in 2005 for $283,250. Barrett-Jackson sold it in 2006 for $621,000. Gullwings have been expensive for a long time, then, but they're a lot pricier than they used to be. This one's color change from original is a potential knock against it, but Rudge wheels on a 300SL can carry a six-figure premium. This result is spot-on in today's market.
