The thing does not look like a Merc but hey, what do I know about the things. Styling seems a bit... American? I dont think the 300 had a 6 banger, maybe someone added a cylinder to the engine, you can do that right? The 300d was being made in 58' so were good there. A 60,000 dollar car with no doors is a bit sketchy... 30,000 miles is nothing on the legendary Mercedes 5... er 5+1 OM617 engine. Sounds like a spring chicken but some things don't add up.

What do yall think?

1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 D

The 300D before the W123 chassis was actually a gas-powered 6-cylinder "limousine," that had the same 3.0 liter six cylinder as the legendary gullwing SL.

Did it have a inline 6, 3 litre V8? A zero door sedan? Does it really matter with only 30,000 miles?!?!?!?!?!?!
