nice car but I doubt the new owner will ever drive it on public roads. I'll sit in the garage until the next buyer. lol...

it ain’t a car anymore it’s a smart investment

I drive mine once a month, in traffic and so forth

[@khaosking2937]

A true classic

[@lutomson3496]

still remember when these were cheap in the late 70s as they were so expensive to fix like the old Sl models were and I had a few still wish I had them!

[@bernardwarr4187]

You should of brought a handful of them?

[@vyntradesilva18]

One of My all time favorite car

[@OffensiveProduction1]

Got to see most of these cars go across the block this weekend down in Indy.

[@jonathanpatton4551]

Quite a bargain considering the much rarer Mercedes 300SLR just broke all records for a single car at over $140M

[@typer765]

For added context, that particular car was 1 of 2.

[@jonathanpatton4551]

@@typer765 yes the Uhelenhaut ( spelling ? ) was definitely a much rarer beast for sure. I just think the title is somewhat misleading for the video.

[@saltdaemon4453]

NOTICE, no more bidding after reserves are met.

[@jponz85]

@@saltdaemon4453 can you explain to me what that means when reserve is off?

[@kb24theMVP]

@@saltdaemon4453 I have the same question, what does that mean?

[@bernardwarr4187]

What goes up, keeping going up. A cracking investment

[@roughroadrunner88]

What happens to those rare gas operated cars when all is green. Will it decrease or increase value

[@SgHawk144]

Increase. If it’s something special it will hold it’s value, it won’t stop being special just because fuel is hard to get. As a lot have noted, cars like this one likely won’t get driven anyway. Your regular runabouts, accords etc. will drop . All guess work of course at this point.

Money was meant to be wasted💰💰💰💰🏁😎

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

Car market is crazy right now, that’s probably why records keep being broken...

[@d3r3r3k]

My god i would take a shelby gt500 1967 over this mercedes anyday

Me too if I wanted to drive the car. This mercedes is just an investment

INCREDIBLE;! When MB was truly world renowned

[@ashookchandra8191]

Yes, but since the mid 90s MB like all others went downhill never to rise again, today their cars and SUVs have all the gadgets that u really do not need, and cost a lot of money 🤑💰 but they purposely built these vehicles to fall apart fast whereas older MBs from the 80s all the way back to the beginning are still in great condition as if new, the time when quality matters, today it is all about quantity, disposable junk good for 1-5 year the most 😊👍💯💯💯

I think it's sad that people have that much money that they can waste on just a car when there's other more important things on this Earth

[@Iseenoobpeoples]

Dumb comment, so you never spend anything for your own pleasure?

[@Racso88e]

Your real sadness is being broke, Darrin. What does purchasing a car have to do with the earth and what things that are important to you have to be important to someone else? Why wouldn’t you make it an important thing to stop being lazy and broke?

[@OzarksWildman]

That Merc went pretty cheap

The most beautiful car ever made

[@Welcometofacsistube]

Lol ya no

[@Soundhound101]

I just don't get it. The age? The boomer nostalgic bidder? The sub '59 collectors? It's not super fast or beautiful. Some people have too much money. It's never going to see the streets. Storage or hauled.

[@dsc420247]

That's a lot of money for a car, whose door won't shut fully. 😉

[@ashookchandra8191]

That is because the person did not shut it properly can happen to any vehicle not just to this MB 😊👍💯💯💯
