I would have bought it, but State Farm’s quote for collision, even with $1000 deductible, was too much.

I was going to go cheap and buy this 1967 GT 500 -
for a mere $1 million - a tiny 143rd of the price
of that Mercedes - until I decided to pay the rent instead.
Just a cool $1 million. (The car, not the rent.)

Dang! Another missed investment opportunity!

Eleanor Builds:

Here's another one for a mere $189,995.00.
(Hmpph - Pocket change. I leave a bigger tip than that after good dinner...)

For that sort of money, I’d want something more practical ;)

And green smoke can be seen emerging from the cathedral, a clear sign they have elected a new leader of the More Money Than Brains Club...

Just wait til he finds out what taxes and insurance run. He’ll have that car sitting in his yard with a for sale sign before long.

I would rip out the motor and put in an electric drive system. Gotta save the planet, y’know.

Top speed 290 km/h, or 180 mph. Still a fast car, even by today’s standards. The production 300SL could do 165 mph.

My bid was just below the selling price as I had allowed funds for Dave Kindig to bring it up to today’s standards.
