Icon Derelict 1971 Mercedes 300SEL Sedan
The latest in Icon's Derelict series brings classic German engineering and American power together in a one-of-a-kind 1971 Mercedes 300SEL. The four-door Teutonic luxury sedan rides on a custom-fabricated chassis by Art Morrison with adjustable coilovers, fully-independent suspension, rack-and-pinion power steering, and Brembo brakes. Larger one-piece billet alloy wheels that mimic the originals were made specifically for the car, while wiring and plumbing were made from scratch for modern electronics and the power-assisted brakes. The interior features a modern sound system and HVAC, all cleverly hidden behind controls identical to the original Mercedes units, along with restored wood trim. Power comes from a GM LS9 V8. Every Derelict is a one-off commission, built specifically for the client, with prices starting at $450,000.
