The Yankees are currently super busy selling off their assets to bolster an already strong farm system. But if you want to take a step back into the past for a moment, check out the 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL above, which was owned by Yankees great Roger Maris.
Yes, Reggie Jackson usually dominates the eBay automobile market for us, but today Yankees fans can splurge on a car owned by the former two-time MVP and three-time World Series champ. As an added bonus, you also get an autographed card allegedly worth $400 — random but cool.
Details from the listing:
Excellent running 450sl owned by the great NY Yankee legend ‘Roger Maris’ who hit 61 homers in 1961 and broke Babe Ruths home run record. Paint is all original and the interior is in excellent condition(exception is small crack in dash-see pic) This car has always been a Florida car and driven locally.
Aftermarket CD am/fm with remote and plugs for other devices. New master cylinder and brakes recently. Garage kept in Florida(all it’s life) and comes with autographed and authenticated signed baseball card.(worth $400) I also have the original signed contract(not a copy) dated and signed by Roger Maris when he purchased the car. This is a great piece of history and a fun convertible that will give you plenty of driving pleasure and a great investment for the entry level classic car collector.
You can check out the car, Maris’ signed documents, and baseball card in our gallery below.
