An iconic shape in automotive history, this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is made all the more special by Levine's ownership. The musician has owned and enjoyed the car for the last six years, often photographed driving it around Los Angeles. Complete with its matching-numbers engine, the Gullwing is finished in a timeless silver over a blue leather interior and represents a unique collecting opportunity. The 300 SL Gullwing is estimated to bring $1,000,000 - $1,400,000 when it crosses the auction podium in Fort Lauderdale this weekend.

Presented in Grigio Alloy with Bordeaux Daytona-style seats, the modern classic is equipped with a 454-brake horsepower V-8 engine, seven-speed dual-clutch automated transmission, retractable hardtop, carbon fiber rear diffuser, aluminum brake calipers, and shows less than 4,100 miles from new (Est. $120,000 - $140,000, offered without reserve).
