There's a gullwing here in Tampa. I see it in an office building lot (the covered, "VIP" section), but it has no badging and is driven almost daily, so I'm doubtful of its originality.

How much do one of those Mercs go for these days? I always dream of owning one.

nlakind · 09-21-2008, 10:16 PM

on the lower end they run about $900k..i know a couple years back the japanese were coming to the states & buying them & importing them back to japan & those were autioning anywhere from what i said at $900k upwards of $2million...

it all depends on a few things i think; market, quality of the restoration, orignality, etc..

i was talking to a guy at the gullwing show, he does frame off restorations in oregon & for his work he charges $250k for a frame off resoration! that is A LOT of money for restoration...but in the end, worth every penny!!!
