1959 190sl in auction (11/1)- very strange

Seized Vehicle Auction - 11-1-2013 10:00 AM

I wonder what the story is with this 190sl. I am familiar with this auction place. It is a low-grade auction company that sells DUI cars. This 190sl is out of place.

It might be worth going to just to see what it sells for.

I sent an email to Wayne Carini about it. Maybe he will come down and make a show episode out of it!

The top isn't original but that's fairly minor. Considering the top and how bad these cars can get its probably a 70s or 80s restoration.
