... thought you might like it anyway. A fried of my brothers sold this 1963 300SL roadster last week in the high 6 figure bracket. I originally saw this car when it was in a classic car showroom in Seattle in 1969. My brothers friend bought it there for $6800.00 about a month after I saw it. The bank did not want to lend him any money for such an old used car! It has not been driven in over 30 years. My brother specializes in vintage Mercedes and his site is https://mercedessource.com/

This is probably my favorite vintage classic automobile.

No joke. Absolutely breathtaking.
