i am pretty sure that is a kit car.

the dash, wheels and engine give it away also the bumpers and taillights.

it is a close copy of the body as far as i can tell from the pics but the details let it down.

the painted hubcaps really scream "not a real 300sl" also they were first built in 1957 iirc so i dont know what gives with the 52 year.

i saw a 300sl gullwing up at auburn fall auction last year that looked spot on from the outside. hyman motors had it. had a late model six with five speed iirc, about 200k asking price.
