300SEL 6.3
New to me : SLS

Hello Folks...got this a few months ago...24K miles for 144K.
Feel like I paid a bit more for this but I really like the options on it.
Alubeam Silver, B&O, Alacantra Steering, Carbon Mirrors, Carbon Engine cover, Amg 10 Spoke Wheels, Ceramic Brakes, Carbon Fiber Trim(H73) and AMG Performance Suspension.

Car was bone stock with zero mods which I like and came with a full 3M wrap in the entire front and sides.

What do y'all think?

PS ...also attached is a pic of my other benz ...a restored 71' 300SEL 6.3. I thought the two make a good combo...the first car AMG raced and the first car AMG built inhouse.


Few pics attached

Both cars look great. The SLS came loaded with all the options. Great job. CCB’s are 👌🏻 not too many SLS’s have them. Enjoy the new ride! (And the old one too)

I have almost the identical spec (mine is imola grey)! Great car and enjoy the cc brakes but be careful if it gets cold where you live--I was in Dallas, it was probably in the 30s or 40s, and rolled right through a stop sign.

Welcome to the SLS. Drive like you stole it and never look back! I LOVE mine years after buying it still. If you are in CA bring it to my Supercars by the Sea show at Huntington State Beach IG & FB @supercarsbythesea

I am in the Dallas area. Still getting used to it. Fun to drive and low on drama especially compared to a 488 or a McLaren. Those engines and exhaust setup "scream" a bit more. The Sls stock I feel is a little understated from an exhaust note standpoint.

Congratulations!

I love both of your cars. The SLS in Alubeam/Brown is my favorite color combo! Congrats on the purchase!

Spectacular GW!!! You have a very special c color combination. Consider joining the GWG & showing it off while parked next to the '50's Gullwings. I will drive my SLS to the next GWG convention.
