Re: Fun with the C2 - Mercedes
Hmmm... You may have spotted a very rare car. If those wheels are original, that's a Le Mans type 1956 with a racing fuel tank, tall rear and a cam. I owned a white one with red leather in the 60's. There were only about ten made. Kept fouling plugs in heavy traffic. Bought it for $4,700 in 1964 and sold it for $5,600 in 1966. (That was a "home run" at the time.) Thing would be worth $500,000+ today easily...
