About this car
Sold on Bring a Trailer on September 18, 2026 for $56,000. The car is in Orange, CA. Its final price and sale date are recorded here as sold-price data, the same as a dealer's sold car. The full gallery and listing details come from the car's own auction page.
What the photos show
- red paint looks bright and glossy from a distance, no full repaint needed on sight
- close-up paint shows small chips and tiny raised spots on a front fender, budget for paint correction and touch-ups
- chrome bumpers, grille and hubcaps look bright and shiny, no chrome bill visible here
- black convertible top looks taut and clean, no top replacement needed on sight
- black leather seats look clean with no tears seen, no need to reupholster
- dash looks tidy with clear gauges and a clean white wheel, no dash spend visible
- engine bay looks presentable and complete, with bright blue plug wires that stand out as non-original looking, no big detailing bill
- underside is the weak point, rust spots on the muffler and rust breaking through cracked underseal on the floors, budget for rust treatment and underside work
- service manuals and a tool roll are present in the trunk photos, no hunting for those items
Money: at $56,000 sold, the shiny red paint, top and chrome explain a driver-level price, but the chipped paint up close and the rusty, cracked underside are exactly why it did not bring restored-190SL money.
