I know this is not Z related, but I thought you guys would like to take a look at this anyway because we are all car enthusiasts here. I have only seen a few of these 300sl's on ebay before and only seen a hand full of them in person. I would have to say that the 300sl of the 50's and very early 60's has to be one of the most beautiful designed cars ever. I like the gullwings even more, but this one is gorgeous as well.

Very beautiful car, but for the same price you could have 10 of the most beautiful Z cars you could find-where is your head!

Seriously beautiful car!

:stupid: I just showed my dad this car and he told me his brother had one just like it when he was about 18. My grandpa bought it for about $1500. My uncle got sick of doing all the little things to keep it running and spending the money on it so he got ride of it for $300. My dad said he cryed for weeks when his brother sold it. It was the same charry red and eveything. I should send this too him, he would cry his eyes out too when he sees how much this car is going for.

Very, very nice. But for that price I'd be looking at something cooler... like a house. Are you sure it was the exact same type of car? Just that I didn't think the SL's were EVER cheap...

Maybe he had a 190sl. Those were and still are a fraction of the cost of the 300sl. I agree with you there alfa, one cannot live in a 300SL. The square footage is very small for the price. heheheh, but man does it look good... These are highly prized cars of collectors and I would not be surprized if the price reaches well over 200k.
