It is for sale, has been with the same owner (who recently passed) since 1962. BTW, the 1956 300D next to it is for sale, but he is keeping the AMG 500E

When is the last time you saw a Gull for sale less than $100K in any shape??? If you think there isn't much there, what till I post the pix of the 1974 factory RSR tub

If I had this car, and the money necesary to restore it, my first and only call would be to Paul Russell, www.paulrussell.com
His work is easily the best in the world on vintage Mercs. there's a reason that Mercedes themselves call Paul Russell to restore their cars... he's also done more pebble beach mercs. than anyone in the world...
Check it out!
damn that looks like a life-long dream of a project! Congrats, and Good Luck!
