Vehicle Description
San Francisco Sports Cars offers you the rare opportunity to
purchase this 1972 Mercedes 300SEL originally owned by actor Steve
McQueen. It is hard not to feel a little bit tougher and a whole
lot cooler sitting in the very same seat that McQueen enjoyed for
the last 8 years of his life. And by his son Chad's admission this
special car was one of McQueen's favorites. When you drive this
Benz you'll immediately understand why.
With its massive 6.3 liter V-8 the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL was the
fastest production sedan of 1972. It was this speed and performance
that made it a must have addition to Steve's collection. The
Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 is also unique as the very first automobile
equipped with AMG's magic.
Marque expert Kienle Automobiltechnick meticulously restored the
exterior of this 300SEL. It was finished in 2013 and has been well
preserved ever since. Great care has been taken to maintain the
interior, and the leather seating is the very same that served
Steve McQueen throughout his eight-year ownership giving you the
rare distinction of enveloping yourself in the nostalgia of
McQueen's driver's seat. It presents a beautiful patina, and is
free of tears or cracks. The original wood trim, dash, and
instrument dials are as-new.
The McQueen connection to any item raises their price to multiples
of their typical value. The same halo effect surrounds this 300SEL
6.3. It is well recorded that it was registered to Solar
Productions; his production company. Other paperwork securely
places the vehicle in his ownership from shipment in 1972 up until
his death in 1980. And his son, Chad, recalls the day this
beautiful Benz was delivered to their home. Considering that his
touch turned all his vehicles into extremely valuable collectible
treasures, this one, too, will offer you unrivaled bragging rights
at any event ... and give you a wonderful vehicle to drive.
