Sorry for the delay. BAT auction wants more detailed pictures, etc. The process is taking longer than I expected. Hopefully will go live in a week or so.
Yes,
I just saw that yours sold on BaT. I called BaT yesterday wondering why the delay in listing mine. They mentioned I'm still a couple weeks out before going live. I guess it's better for their business if they don't have too many of the same cars auctioned at the same time. They seem to be very busy in general. Congratulations on the sale!
I think these cars are going to be more and more valuable as time goes by. It's the working mans Black Series/SLS. It's almost as if Mercedes-Benz threw the public a bone when they decided on no more naturally aspirated engines and then said "here ya go, we'll throw in some SLS parts on a few cars for half the price, have fun!"
It's not a Black Series, but that's kind of what makes it cool. Strange how that happens.
This car was hard for me to find new. I saw the quintessential 507 video originally posted in August of 2013 on YouTube, now up to 1.1 million views:
I fell in love. I checked the entire country back in September 2013. Most of the dealers would not even talk to me. I even had a dealer in Florida tell me to "never call us back." Apparently everyone in Europe wanted the 507 and were paying top dollar for them to be transported back from the U.S. to Europe. Mercedes-Benz was fining any U.S. dealer SERIOUS money for doing this. Every dealer I called thought I wanted to do this. Anyway, I finally found one on a ship in Sept 2013 with my local dealer.
It may take time, but come the day when everything we drive will be either electric or a 4 cylinder ICE with 10 turbochargers, the 507 will be a literal dinosaur. You can't put a price on the visceral effects of 507 normally aspirated horsepower.
I know how to drive a car. I raced competitively in BMW club racing and am still registered as an instructor. When the 507 gets down and dirty you can feel the whole chassis flexing underneath you. Too much motor for the chassis. On TOP of that I watched a program on TV reviewing the C63 back in 2014 stating that these cars had the most horsepower vs. the least tire contact patch than any car made in its day. Never drive this car in the rain unless you have the traction control on and you drive like your grandma. If you take the traction control off on a wet or dry day, and drive hard you had better have the skills of Jochen Rindt.
It's a cool car, and it's from Mercedes-Benz as THEY designed it.
Mine wasn't the one that sold on BaT! Was just putting the link in there to show that these cars are becoming quite valuable.
I had a Obsidian Black/Porcelain White 507 Sedan.
It was nice to see the 507 sedan finally getting some love in BAT. My car is similar to yours in Obsidian Black, but with black Napa leather. I still think these cars are under appreciated.
Sorry about that. I assumed it was you.
Another weird reason I think these car will become more valuable is because they were semi affordable when new. Let me explain. Because it was "affordable" most people are going to abuse them, wreck them and put on a bunch of miles. So few sedans were made that if you can now find one with low mileage, it will be even more rare. Also, because it is not a black series, the 507 will be more easily replicated with minimal funds, making the real deal more desirable.
GLWS - I miss my Magno.... and they're such a understated car....
but ourE63 is a far easier DD.....and silly HP for short $ compared to building a 6.3....
