Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Condition

Perforated leather interior. Decent old repaint with some visible orange peel. OK older interior, poor chrome. Just OK underhood. Probably not used in some time and in need of careful and extensive attention before doing what 300SL Roadsters do best: driving. Chassis # on title ends with "6". Viny collection.

Market commentary

This sale is at the low end of drum-brake 300SL Roadster prices, but still is plenty to pay for a car that's been sitting. The new owner is looking at another $10-15,000 in checking the car over, detailing and replacing "soft" parts that have deteriorated and that assumes the basic car is sound both structurally and mechanically.
