This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300Sc is one of 98 examples built with the coupe body style and was manufactured at the Stuttgart and Sindelfingen-based Mercedes-Benz workshops entirely by hand. Additionally, this is one of the few examples of the 98 coupes to receive the factory sunroof option.
While residing in the Charles Beattie collection, it received a refurbishment. Ownership later passed through several California-based Mercedes-Benz collections, before entering the care of its current owner in 2005, another California-based collection. Since that time, the car has been further preserved, with over $70,000 spent on various mechanical refurbishments, including transmission and engine rebuild.
This Mercedes-Benz has a black exterior, original Becker Mexico radio, a full array of Karl Baisch luggage, and a factory jack and emergency light bulb kit. The 2,996cc single overhead camshaft inline 6-cylinder engine uses a Mechanical Bosch Fuel injection system to develop 175 horsepower at 5,400 RPM. There is a four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, and an independent suspension.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2022
