Prohibitively expensive to acquire or restore, the Mercedes 300SL has mostly been relinquished to the categories of trailer queen and investment grade. A few companies have attempted to make the Gullwing experience available to the replica market, however the brand has taken harsh measures to prevent their production. Very few 300SL replicas are found on the market, making this Gullwing a rare bird.

Offered for sale on eBay is a 300SL replica built using a 2002 Mercedes SLK32 AMG donor. The seller states that all driveline components are from the SLK, which was in good condition with only 76,000 miles. A supercharged V6 pushes out 349 hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque through a 5-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The fiberglass body appears to be finished well with silver paint and an adequate amount of trim work.

The modern red interior and late-model AMG wheels give the Gullwing a unique resto-mod look that probably won’t be seen on any other example. It’s a sleek combination that would definitely turn heads. However, the price tag may turn heads in a different fashion. With a listed price of $225,000, this resto-mod style 300SL may have a tough time finding a buyer.
