I am pleased to offer this incredible 1957 Mercedes 300 SLS recreation. This car was lovingly built by an engineer who used to live in Stuttgart, Germany and who worked for Mercedes in the 1980’s. He did a fantastic job on a recreation that you seldom see in the wild. VIN # is 62211.

Car comes with a clean Nevada title. Car is titled as a 2023 Mercedes (special construction).
According to my research, Mercedes only built 2 SLS’s in the mid 50’s to race in the U.S. Good luck ever seeing a real one.

Personal Impressions:
I sold this car to the owner when it was a project. He lovingly recreated a very rare Mercedes and frankly, I never thought that he would sell it. An opportunity has come up and that is the reason for the sale. This is not an off-the-shelf kit car. This is a car that was built by a German engineer who fabricated many of the parts based on the original SLS specs. This is truly a rare buying opportunity.
