Vehicle Description
While a genuine 1920s Mercedes-Benz SSK might set you back between
$15-20mil, this 1929 replica is much more affordable. The original
SSK was built between 1928 and 1932 and its full name was "Super
Sport Kurz" or "Super Sport Short". Its excellent performance led
it to become one of the best competitive sports cars of its era.
The last car designed by Ferdinand Porsche before he went on to
form his own company, the SSK was the fastest car of its day. With
a massive 7 liter straight-6 supercharged engine, it had a top
speed of 120 miles an hour. Fewer than 40 were built and many were
raced and crashed. It's estimated that only four or five complete
originals still exist.
Our SSK replica is titled as a 1990 replica car and features a 1.6L
Chevette 4-cylinder and automatic transmission. The car fires right
up and the transmission shifts ok. The fiberglass bodywork is
complete and in good shape. A light cream exterior paint with dark
brown fenders shows well. A bit of patina on the tops of the
fenders but is clean overall. The carmel leather interior is in
great shape and shows very nicely as does the wooden dash that is
free of cracks. A wooden steering wheel rounds out the interior as
does instrumentation that appears to be functioning as it
should.
195/65R14 tires are mounted to period looking chrome wire wheels
with disc brakes hiding behind the front wheels. The car also
features coil spring suspension, full soft top, full tonneau, rear
mounted full size spare, and dual horns. With just 10,507 miles,
this unique replica has seen little use. Nicely kept, its ready for
another owner to show it some love.
