1969 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL Sedan

There Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL was a refined luxury sports car that was equipped with a 6.3-liter V8 engine, four doors, and a host of amenities. When introduced, Mercedes-Benz made the claim, the 'fastest production sedan ever built.' It featured a tuned suspension that offered exception handling, power-assisted four-wheel vented disc brakes for sure stopping, and a four-speed gearbox.

This example has been treated to a recent restoration. It was ordered from the factory with a long list of upgrades and special features. It was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $20,000 - $30,000. It was offered without reserve and sold for $16,500 including buyer's premium.
