Mercedes Benz 300 SC Coupe
It has a four-speed gearbox and four-wheel independent suspension with coils springs and tubular shock absorbers. Since new, it has been treated to a professional restoration and finished in a dark-blue exterior. The gray leather interior and wood work have also been treated to a restoration that has brought them to concours condition.
The car came equipped from the factory with an authentic Becker Mexico radio, built-in luggage, and an optional folding rear seat.
It is one of only 98 examples produced.
It was offered for sale at the 2006 Gooding & Company Auction held in Pebble Beach, CA where it was estimated to sell for $225,000-$275,000. The car was offered with a reserve, which did not seem to matter, as bidding settled at $275,000.
