Car Catcher: Mostly Original 300 SL Gullwing

Could this be the most well-preserved, unrestored Gullwing left? With no repaints or rebuilds mentioned, the rust free, numbers-matching 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing comes from a long, one-family ownership with extensive records. It recently sold at the Russo and Steele auction held in Monterey for $1,210,000.00. Hagerty values a No. 2 condition at $1,300,000, with a No. 3 coming in at $1,200,000, making this sale right on the money in the current market.
