Replying to: fintail (May 17, 2009 7:33 pm)  What tells you its an SC and not an S? A 300SC is extremely rare. The SC motor is the same basic engine as the 300SL Gullwing, so it's no slouch (but it is detuned). A 300SC is worth a substantial pile of greenbacks, maybe even 1/4 mil. A 300d maybe $80K or so if it's really nice.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 18, 2009 6:34 am) I've seen nice Adenauer cabrios for under 100K yeah...I think I have seen 300SC cabrios offered for like 400K.

Replying to: fintail (May 18, 2009 7:10 am) Yes very rare...49 cabriolets and 53 roadsters, and yes again, they can bust $350K---or at least they USED to---don't know about 2009. The 300S roadster is also nearly as rare --- 141 made, and the cabriolet 203 made. But everyone really wants the SC.

Replying to: fintail (May 18, 2009 7:07 am) Been a bit distracted ... had some minor flooding in the house over the weekend (busted pipe), so have been dealing with damage control and insurance companies and such. Anyway, the one I saw was dark brown on the outside and immaculate.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 18, 2009 7:52 am) The gullwing market remains strong, doesn't it? I'd think one of those big flashy things with 300SL genes might be able to ride out the storm.

Replying to: fintail (May 18, 2009 9:11 am) Saw a very convincing-looking Gullwing FAKE the other day...I had to walk up to it, within ten feet or so, to realize it wasn't real. Of course, I could have just bent down to check for the tubular frame but I'm too lazy.

....four-door hardtop version of the 300S/SC (it was pillarless but had a third window behind the back doors)? I remember that being the wedding limo in my cousin's wedding (1982-ish), I had never seen one and fell immediately in love with it.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 18, 2009 9:34 am) I once saw a gullwing on I90 just east of Seattle. I have to think it was one of those fakes...but from a slight distance in motion, it was pretty convincing.
