Price: USD $389,5001956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Recreation by Tony Ostermeier with Just 10k Miles: Widely Known as the Best 300SL Gullwing Recreation Ever Built
This stunning 300SL Gullwing Recreation was built by former Mercedes-Benz employee Anton Tony Ostermeier, whose Gullwing Car Company was based in Gardena, California. Ostermeiers Gullwings were built on a modern Mercedes-Benz W124 300E chassis and thus featured modern Mercedes running gear including a fuel-injected 3.0 liter inline-6 engine, automatic transmission, as well as modern suspension and brakes. They also had air conditioning making them very practical road cars. The moulds were made from the body of an original 300SL Gullwing to ensure accuracy, while the panels were made of aluminium reinforced with fiberglass and steel. Indeed, Obermeiers remanufactured components were of such high quality and accuracy that they have been used on authentic 300 SL coup s and roadsters. Silver with red full leather interior, this particular example is gorgeous inside and out. The look and aesthetic of the car are shockingly accurate. Even the seasoned enthusiast would peg this as a genuine 300SL based on a quick walk around the car. Its in beautiful condition and the attention to detail is extremely high. The interior is quite accurate as well, although it does give a few clues as to what lies beneath the skin, including a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, air conditioning vents, and the automatic transmission shift lever. The engine starts instantly and runs smoothly. The power steering makes for easy maneuverability and the power-assisted brakes are very capable. Mechanically excellent, this Gullwing drives like an absolute dream. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a car that captures the stunning presence of the 300SL Gullwing and at a small fraction of the cost of an original. Finding one of these for sale can take years. Impressively accurate in its presentation, the car is effortless and modern to drive, making it ideal for anyone seeking to enjoy the aesthetic experience of the Gullwing as often as possible.
