1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing – $4.62 Million
Popular among car collectors, the 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing is a rare, classic, and iconic beauty. It’s been featured in a number of film productions like Gone in Sixty Seconds in 1974 and Batman and Robin in 1997. With its antiquity and charm, the value of the car can reach over $4 million in the market. The Gullwing was built for long-distance driving and is relatively fast, reaching a top speed of up 260 km/h—just be sure to fill the gas tank if you’re driving one. The grand tourer was considered the fastest car of its time. After its debut at the 1954 New York Auto Show, the car was an immediate success.
As suggested by a Mercedes distributor in New York, the Gullwing is “a race car for the street.” It’s powered by a 3.0-liter engine that can deliver 240 horsepower (optimal variant). According to Barazi of CarGurus, the car was the most technologically advanced vehicle to hit the market in the 1950s. He also added that because of that, people will be paying a seven-figure price for it and more for the aluminum alloy version.
