A rare Mercedes that was hidden away in a barn collecting dust for more than 40 years just sold for $1.1 million
A rare Mercedes convertible that had been parked in an Indiana warehouse for more than 40 years just sold for nearly $1.1 million.
The Roadster was purchased by its previous owner in 1976 and was tucked away soon after, so it shows less than 15,000 miles on the odometer. Seven figures is undeniably a huge sum for what looks like a dusty old sports car, but this isn't just any dusty old sports car. They generally go for at least $1 million at auction, and untouched "survivor" cars like this one can be even more prized than restorations. That's why it doesn't come as a surprise that after the car was listed by New York-based classic-car dealershipfor $1.095 million, the dealership confirmed to Business Insider that it went for the full asking price.
