The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL was introduced in the United States at Laguna Seca Raceway in 1968. It had the sophistication of the 600 with New Generation styling. Performance was also impressive, with zero-to-sixty mph accomplished in 6.5 seconds.
This Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 was acquired by Dan Smith in 1990. In 1993, it was given a cost-no-object restoration using many NOS parts. The original engine was rebuilt and upgraded for performance with 10:1 compression pistons, port-matched and angle-cut heads, AMG camshafts, and custom exhaust headers. The result of these upgrades resulted in a significant increase in horsepower.
