Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Becker Mexico radio, dash clock, fog lights, whitewalls, trim rings, stainless steel exhaust. Absolutely gorgeous color (Glassurit Perlmuttgrun DB 213) more chosen for effect than to reproduce its origil appearance. A no expense spared restoration.

Market commentary

This car was sold in 1999 at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale. It was Light Blue with Blue upholstery and a White top. It was unrestored and a Tired origil car. Cracked paint and crazed, interior badly cracked, doors loose and floppy. Wood is sound but badly dried out. At the time it was noted to have potential, as todays result vividly demonstrates. The seller got the cost of the car, the restoration and even a modest ROI back. The buyer got a particularly sharp, enjoyable M B at an appropriate price. A sharp car and a sharp buyer to take it home for this price.
