SOLD: 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

March 23, 2016 by Scott Grundfor

With only one owner for the last 57 years, this superb AACA National First Prize SeniorĀ  Award Winner 300SL Gullwing has perhaps the best, most detailed associated record keeping of any 300SL in the world

1955-Gullwing-27

Matching Numbers. Chassis # 1980405500767 Engine # 1989805500686. DB 534 Feuerwehrrot (Fire Brigade Red) with Light Grey Correct Roser Leather. Fitted Luggage. Leather Interior. Becker Mexico Radio w/ Reims Short Wave Attachment. Duel Talbot Mirrors. Factory Concave Grill. Original Tool Kit and Bag. Original Jack. Original Belly Pans. Offered with Mercedes-Benz Zertifikat.

Originally delivered to dealer William E. Randall of Fort worth Texas in its original colors of black with red interior, this 300SL Gullwing was purchased by Stanley L. Drexler of Denver, Colorado. The current owner, also a former Gullwing Group president, purchased the car from Drexler in 1960 and has owned it ever since. Over the last 57 years, he has tirelessly maintained this wonderful example and exhaustively documented the care and servicing it has undergone.

This 300SL Gullwing is a shining example of what true care and stewardship can yield. It is unequivocally one of the most thoroughly maintained and cared for SL’s we’ve seen. Since 1960, every receipt has been retained, all stats on the cars use including gas costs, mileage per year, etc…has been fully documented.

This Gullwing scored 97.25 at Legends of the Autobahn in August 2011 and won an AACA National First Prize Senior Award in 1999. It is fully serviced and needs nothing.
