Classic Car Overview

1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Concours-Level Restoration by Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, Irvine, CA This matching-numbers 300SL Gullwing received a complete concours-level restoration performed by Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Irvine, California - completed in June 2020 at a documented cost of $1,114,005 USD. The work was executed to factory specification using original finishes, correct materials, and authentically sourced components. A copy of the original factory build sheet accompanies the car, confirming its numbers-matching status. The restoration consisted of a total disassembly down to the last nut and bolt, followed by a rebuild of every mechanical and cosmetic component. During the engine overhaul, the original motor was upgraded to the desirable NSL-type high-compression sport camshaft configuration, a period-correct performance enhancement used on competition-focused 300SLs. Additional details include: Fully restored belly pans Complete factory tool kit Period-correct reproduction two-piece Karl Baisch luggage set Door window storage bag Period-correct seat belts Originally released from the Stuttgart-Untertrkheim factory on August 24, 1955, this Gullwing was shipped new to Mercedes-Benz importer Max Hoffman in New York City. The fourth owner entrusted the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center with the full restoration, resulting in a factory-correct example that retains the purity of its original specification while benefiting from tasteful, era-accurate upgrades. With approximately 500 break-in miles completed by the Classic Center themselves, this 300 SL presents today with virtually no signs of use - representing one of the finest restoration examples of a Gullwing available anywhere. By appointment only. Please call/text Lucas for more information. 786-448-5966. www.thebarnmiami.com
