About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint, interior and chrome. The engine compartment is like new and not overdone. Flush panel fits and even gaps. $200K in comprehensive mechanical work completed in 2016 and about as good as it gets in a 2-top 300SL Roadster.

Market commentary

Sold by Gooding in Scottsdale in 2014 for $1,430,000 before the recent mechanical overhaul there is no reason for the bidders' reluctance to go into, even well into, seven figures here at Amelia except for the obstacles faced by all of the 7-figure cars in 2019.
