- 3.0L straight-six with mechanical direct fuel injection
- Colour
- Green over dark brown leather
Chassis 6500090 is among only 53 examples of the Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Roadster, the range-topping variant of a model that shared its chassis, engine, and suspension architecture with the legendary 300 SL Gullwing. Introduced in 1955, the 300 Sc added direct mechanical fuel injection to its 3.0-litre straight-six. This example retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, and engine, carries evidence of an older American restoration, and is finished in green over dark brown leather.
