I saw an episode of Fantom Works with Dan Short where they restored a Pagoda SL. I believe the bill was around $45k for repairs that a common sedan would also need. The Mercedes Benz Classic Center is offering two very well restored Pagoda SL cars for over $200K prices. The sedans will necessarily disappear without a thriving hobbyist community to maintain and restore what is left.

I am not investing with the idea that my car is a piggy bank. My blood and treasure maintain a vehicle that I enjoy driving. I consider myself a steward who saved a vehicle for enthusiasts to appreciate when they see it running down the road.
