Chuck, I thought you might be interested to know that car is still in SLC. I related your story to the guy that's trying to find me a 280 SL and he said he's very familiar with the car and that it's still around but now in the hands of the previous owner's son. Oh, if anyone is interested (and has very deep pockets) he told me about a guy in Heber with two 300 SLs which he'd be willing to sell. patrick On 08 Sep 2007, at 21:36, Chuck Hards wrote:
Funny you should mention the gullwing.
When I was a teen, I often would see Tribune editor (back then) Jack Gallivan driving his silver gullwing Mercedes back and forth to work, near our house next to the U of U.
See? This thread is legitimate because some sports cars have "astronomical" price tags! LOL.
