Vehicle Description
An Extraordinary Discovery: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster with
Less than 15k Miles and Stored for Four Decades with One OwnerThe
300SL Roadster presented here is an extraordinary find, recently
purchased from the estate of its long-term owner and fresh from
over four decades in static storage in Indiana. This 1960 model,
one of only 249 examples built that year, was delivered to the US
and was originally finished in the rare and very sophisticated
color of Blaugrau (Blue Grey), code DB166G. At one point in the
car's life, it was repainted in silver and the original blue
leather interior was re-dyed in black.The car was in the Chicago
area in the early 1970s and acquired by its previous long-term
owner around 1976. He was inspired to own a 300SL after driving his
brother's Roadster. Soon after purchasing his very own 300SL, he
parked the car in a warehouse where it remained hidden from the
public eye for the next 40 years.Today, this incredible
matching-numbers 300SL shows just 14,558 original miles on the
odometer and is offered with a factory hard top, soft top, and
jack. Accompanied by its Data Card from Mercedes-Benz. An extremely
rare and exciting opportunity to own one of the very last
unrestored, barn finds 300SL Roadsters in existence - a fantastic
car originally delivered in an excellent color, and one private
owner for over 40 years.Chassis Number: 198.042-10-002544Engine
