About this car
1956 300SL Gullwing at Gullwing Motor Cars in Astoria, NY. The dealer's own page marks this car sold — it stays listed under the SOLD banner for reference and is left out of the price averages. Harvested from the dealer's own website on Nov 2, 2026 — confirm availability at the source before travelling.
What the photos show
- cream paint is dirty, flat and peeling on the boot lid, a full repaint is unavoidable
- body panels look complete and the car sits whole, that saves hunting rare Gullwing parts
- chrome looks dull and aged, budget to restore it with the paint
- plaid cloth seats look intact but tired and dirty, a proper retrim is likely
- engine bay is complete with its intake in place but dusty and aged, expect a full recommission bill
- can't judge the underside, it is never shown and on a car this stored that is a major unknown
Money: no sold price is on file, so value is in completeness as a restoration base, not in condition, and the repaint and recommission bills are large.

Condition: 1952 Mercedes Benz 300 Adenauer This 300 has been in storage since the 1970s, it's remarkably solid and we preserved for its vintage. These are neat cars with an in person presence that the photos don't translate well. The 300 share many parts with the 300SL and were actually more expensive when both were new. This car is obviously a restoration candidate but will be stunning when finished. We are happy to help buyers worldwide with shipping a freight logistics. A local viewing is welcome and encouraged with appointment.
