Mercedes Grosser 600 found in a Dutch barn with 0 miles on the odo
Posted: May 17, 2013 in Things that goThere are countless old Mercedes lost to the sands of time across the world. So when one as rare as this shows up in a some dudes dirty garage, it’s worth paying attention to. This case is especially interesting. Most of the time barn finds have at least some kind of mileage on them. This one though? It’s sitting pretty at 0.
Whether or not that number is accurate will probably be a mystery forever. What we do know is that this ’65 600 will be worth a pretty penny when it goes up for auction. It was originally shipped into America back in 1965 before making it’s way to the Netherlands in 2007. Considering it’s a California car with low miles and the fact that it’s been garaged for the past six years, means it’s likely in great condition. Looking at the pictures, the interior is basically flawless.
Which is faster? A pared-down, bare knuckle track toy, a state-of-the-art (kinda) superbike or a front-running rallycross car?
I wish they had done this with a Panigale. The HP4 is slow…
