January’s auctions generally set the tone for the year within the collector car community. 2010 provided some strong results and surprises from mother nature.
Monterey week 2009 was another unforgettable week of amazing events. One of the highlights most certainly had to be the extraordinary exhibit of the Mercedes-Benz racing “Silver Arrows” displayed at the Classic Center’s pavilion.
Buyers of new 380SLs in 1983 were rewarded with a paltry 155hp. However, the nefarious “grey market” was the source for the fledgling AMG’s Mercedes exotica: 4-cam heads, tubular headers, big brakes and more horsepower. This AMG 500SL had it all including the ultra-rare 5-speed Getrag gearbox.
With exceptional Pagoda values rising beyond “affordable,” which SL just might be an emerging classic? Our vote goes to the early small bumper 107 series cars, particularly the non-US manual gearbox 350SLs.
