1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL
This car started its life in Palm Beach, FL. It was purchased by the 2nd cousin of the current owner for $6,600 in 1970, and it's been in the family ever since. In the 1980's it made the voyage from Florida so that the family could begin an amateur restoration, but that was never finished due to a death in the family. After sitting in an unheated cement block garage for nearly 30 years this car was rediscovered, and the owners are determined to restore her to her former glory.
