August 8, 2012 - Rare Rear





With a rare rear like this, rules become mere suggestions, or so it seems with this 1963 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster.  The 300 SL was produced from 1955-1963 and included a coupe and a roadster.  Less than 3300 of the series were built making it truly a collector's car.  When originally introduced in 1955, the 300 SL coupe had unique gull wing doors and with a top speed of 161 mph it was the fastest production car in the world.  The aerodynamic horizontal 'eyebrows' over each of the wheel wells was just one of the unique characteristics of this classic.  
NOTE: A brief internet search found this same year and model priced at $695,000.
