300SL Kompressor - For Sale, too!
I've seen this car around town several times, an early 300SL with a "Kompressor" badge on the back, and have always thought "Geez, what a poser. Who'd supercharge a 300SL anyway?" Well, I was at my mechanic's today and, lo and behold, there is the poser car with a For Sale sign on it. Turns out that IT IS INDEED supercharged. It is a custom done job with a Powerdyne blower producing 11lbs of boost and a custom air-to-air intercooler. The mechanic says it really gets up and goes for a 300SL. Cost about $6500 for the setup. The car has 129K on the clock and is for sale at $15K. AND GET THIS: It is a stickshift (5 speed) as well. It seems to be in immaculate condition.
