[MBZ] That Gullwing
I called about that gullwing for sale @ Aston Martin Dealership. $320,000 and it's probably sold. I would of thought maybe $150,000 tops in that shape. I remember a pristine 300SL convertible for sale in the late eighties for $90,000. Guess these cars have really appreciated. Dimitri __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

A very nice red unrestored but non-rusty GW sold at the televised Barrett Jackson (?) auction for $325K last week. The seller also had a matching 300SL roadster that fetched about the same $$s. Both were one-owner cars!

very much doubt you could by this barn car and do a proper restoration for $325,000. but I guess that holds true of most restoration projects when compared to buying a car that someone else has done the work on.

Hi Andrew, Those were spectacular GWs all right!! The fitted luggage was especially impressive - with the lower suitcase curved to follow the shape of the luggage area. Although the Gullwings are better known I believe the Roadsters were better drivers. I hear the GWs get oppressively hot due to lack of ventilation. The Roadsters are pretty attractive also IMO. I believe the auctions aired last week were from a year or more ago - the new auction starts on the 13th.

Larry, Thanks for the info. Is there an easy way to search the Barret website to find completed auctions for a particular car year and model, e.g., Mercedes 1970 280SL, without flipping through those dozens of web pages?

Hi Andrew. On the left hand menu, bottom item, click Results and you will be allowed to enter MB and 280SL - I entered Mercedes Benz and SL and got 2 results - both 1970 280SLs and neither had a price but different Lot #'s. You may need to play with the search criteria a bit.
