“The Barn Find”, the holy grail of every car nut, especially when it comes in the form of an all original 300SL Gullwing. This one is fresh out of 35 years of storage and available from Gullwing Motor Cars. Because of it’s rarity, incredible heritage, and potential value I’m sure it will be snatched up and brought back to better than showroom condition. And then sit in a garage. It’s essence, it’s soul lost forever. It’s dry and completely solid, it’s patina telling the story of every adventure it’s been on. Freshen up the mechanicals, throw some period correct black steelies on it and enjoy it for God’s sake! If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a firm believer in the phrase “it’s only original once”, this one has the potential to be the most epic “hood ride” on the planet, I would respect the hell out of that.
