Market commentary
This is the pinnacle of the 560SL market by nearly $20,000, a tribute to its low miles and meticulous preservation. It would have been a better value within its estimate range but preservation class automobiles were the dominant flavor at the Gooding auction in Scottsdale this year. The seller gets full credit for timing by bringing it here and letting David Gooding and Charlie Ross work their magic.
