Oh man, 350?
Long time ago a really cool smart guy I knew had a real one - but it was decades before I knew him. Kept it on blocks and never drove it. Story is that one day in the mid 70s his son 'got into his scotch' and took it out for a drive, ended up offroad and into some trees... Met some people who were around back then who remembered seeing it getting towed and how drunk the son was in the tow truck passenger seat.
Surprising to me because I grew up with the gullwing being an absolute icon, but figured at some point in the past it was just a car. Well my friend treasured his like nothing else, to him it was a huge deal even in the 70s.
Can't imagine paying 350 for a fake. The entire point of the 300sl is the truss chassis, special motor and all the period awesome.
