Sweeeeeeet ride! I'm by no means a Benz-centric guy, but I think the gull-wings are about the most beautiful looking cars ever designed.

Ha, ha --!
The ironic thing is eBay's link under the Starting Bid: "Get Low Monthly Payments."
How could you have low monthly payments on $475 grand? Maybe if you put down, say, $455 grand and financed the rest? Though if you can do that, seems to me, you could shell out the whole $475 grand in one pop. (I know, they have that link on all the car listings. Just seemed funny.)

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
They are selling MY car.  I read that the Gullwing was responsible for bringing Mercedes back from the brink following the destruction caused by WWII. I also read a story about the Gullwing owned by Clark Gable. He used to drive it to the set of the last movie he made (with Marilyn Monroe). I've always been a fan of CG, could you imagine the cool level of owning CG's former car? WHAT A CAR!!!

Did they even offer A/C on the Gullwing? And if they did, would it have been any good? The way that the engine and the exhaust were set up in that car, it must have gotten pretty hot in the cabin. Hotter than the primitive German A/C units of the time could handle.

Not completely a hijack, but does anyone remember the story about the Gullwing with zero miles?
Guy ordered every part from the factory, and then piled them up in his garage until he got them all. Never personally got to put them together, but it was put together by a big-time restorer. Story was in the "Star" about 10-15 years ago. ....Which reminds me of Johnny Cash’s classic song, “One Piece at a Time.” The song is about an auto factory worker who spends years stealing car parts from the factory to build his own car. When he finally has all the parts and puts the car together, he finds that the parts he’s taken from different makes and models over several years do not fit together properly.... Now this is officially a hijack. I can go on with this dialogue with myself for hours. Stop me please.
