Your thoughts on this?
This came up as I'm sure many of you are aware of.

What are your predictions? What will be the final going price for this specimen?

This is definitely a rare bird. Probably the only in the US with that color. It does have an accident on the title, but considering it has the pano roof and rebuilt top hydraulics, I think it'll still fetch a high price.

My guess: $28,450

If I were to sell my 99 SL600 in great condition with 72k I would ask $21,000 so that car I think would bring about that.

I would assume around 6k+ to bring it to new condition. As I have done this to my 99 that I bought with 48k on the odometer.

11 hours left @ 14k
I actually had a bid placed @ 11.4k
Guess it's not mine!!

Do you think it's one of those auctions where bids come flying in the last 15 minutes?

SOLD for $24,500. Figured it'd go a little higher but still a solid price for a one-off.

Knowing the car came from auction... I'd say the seller cleared $8-10k here. Pretty substantial for an R129 but this thing is one of a kind.
