Nice Car.

Hard top worth $7500 and Ski racks are another $1,000.  Fitted luggage, say $2500.  So the asking price for the base car is $68,000.  Nice cars are selling for over $50k.  My guess is that this price is a litlle high, but getting it all in one package is nice.

Best,

Tom

In addition to our cars being completely restored from the hard top to all five tires they come complete with a 6 month-6000 Mile Bumper to Bumper warranty.

Very impressive. So is the luggage vintage/factory or aftermarket/repro?

The luggage we make is a replica of a possibly (?) available hard side set that was made in the "Karl Baisch" style that was produced for the Gullwings and other 220 and 300 series cars in the fifties and early sixties. They would be considered incorrect from a standpoint that the factory had changed over to the soft side luggage for the later cars made by Hepco. However; all the 113, 111, 112, 108 and 109 cars came with the mounting points in anticipation for hard side luggage in the trunk. Look in your trunk and you will see a clip or a captured nut holes on the bottom and the top; centered in the trunk area of your 113 car.

Beautiful stuff.  My wife likes the Louis Vuitton set.
