Howdy folks, I'm totally new here (usually hang out over on the Pelican Porsche forum) and wanted to see if I might be able to gather some knowledge on a recent find. While helping my in-laws clean out an old barn on their property I ran across this vintage MB that belonged to my mother-in-law's father. It has been parked in a dirt floor barn for nearly 40 years.

Covered in and surrounded by years of junk these were the best photos I could get (I know they are bad!) I could not get into he engine bay or trunk area or any further into the interior until I am able to remove more stuff from around the car to get better access.

It has a badge on the rear deck that says "300" ..... Family members believed it to be a 1961 model however after doing some research just via pictures it seems like maybe it's a 58-59 300D?

Anyone able to tell anything at all from these photos? The body seems very solid overall however I have not been able to see the rocker panels or the floors yet.

I am hoping to maybe be able to get it out of the barn and asses it's overall condition. Not even sure where to start to be able to find parts for such an old model that from what I can gather also seems rather rare.
