About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Several scratches and scuffs around the hood as well as some chips behind the grille, but the rest of the paint finish is very good. Imperfect gaps. The doors are hard to open and some of the weather stripping is dull and loose. Dull bumper chrome. Very good top. Lightly wrinkled seats but mostly very good interior. Tidy and restored underneath. Represented as an award winner at Mar a Lago last year, but the car is in worse shape than that would lead you to believe. The 300D is an outstanding automobile, but this one has too many flaws to ignore.

Market commentary

This car hammered not sold at a $240,000 high bid at Mecum Monterey a few months ago, which was a sound offer that should have been taken, especially with this result (which is lower factoring in the seller's commission) as a reference. Even this price is generous for a ponderous big M-B in this condition.
