With the same private owner since 1963 and just 21,674 miles showing on the odometer, this fully matching numbers W198 Coupe was born painted DB 40 Black and today retains its superbly-kept original 1079 Red leather interior befitting such an otherwise low mileage original car. Today, this 300SL Gullwing presents in DB 180 Silver Grey Metallic paint over said factory-installed 1079 Red leather with original headliner in place speaking to well maintained storage and care throughout its life. This Gullwing is one of the last unknown, true survivors in the W198 Coupe line and is an extremely desirable example born black over red.
