About this car
This 1956 190SL is offered on eBay by beverlyhillscarclub in Los Angeles, CA. The asking price is $29,950. The car is finished in Silver Gray over Black, a manual gearbox. The listing does not state a mileage. On a 190SL, look for rust in the floors and around the battery box, and check that the carburetors are set up properly.
What the photos show
- White paint is peeling and rust is breaking through on nearly every panel, so this is a strip-to-metal repaint after major metal work.
- Front and rear bumpers are rusted and bent, so rechroming or replacement money is certain.
- Soft top fabric is gone and only a rusted frame remains, so budget for a complete new top and frame work.
- Black seats are present and not torn up, but they sit in a gutted cabin, so a full interior retrim is still coming.
- Cabin floors are rusted through with visible holes, so new floor metal is unavoidable spend.
- Dash is complete with gauges and radio, but the wheel and trim are corroded and worn, so dash restoration money is coming.
- Trunk floor is surface-rusted across its whole area, so trunk metal repair joins the list.
- Engine bay is heavily corroded, with rusty air cleaner, pipes and inner fenders, so a full engine rebuild and bay restoration should be assumed.
- Underside photos show floors and structure rusted through in large sections, with seat springs visible through a hole, so structural metal work will dominate the budget.
- Steel wheels and hubcaps are present and the tires hold air, so wheels are the least of the money worries here.
Money: at $29,950 the price buys the 190SL identity, not the car — the holed floors and underside mean restoration will cost several times the asking price.
