This bit of automotive perfection is believed to be the lowest mileage Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster on the planet. It has a mere 7,367 miles on the odometer, and it is for sale. Not that it matters, because it almost certainly costs more than you'll make in the next decade.

The same could be said of most of the 43 other vintage vehicles Gooding & Co. will auction next month at The Scottsdale Auction. The list of lustworthy rides will set any gearhead's heart aflutter,

as it has something for everyone. Joining the Benz on the block are, among others, a Porsche 904, a Ferrari 275 GTB and a Shelby Cobra someone found in a barn. Seriously. In a barn. We always thought that was a myth.

We can't afford any of these cars any more than you can, but, like you, we'd sell anything short of our souls to own one. Barring that, we'll join you in ogling photos of the 10 cars we'd most love to see in the driveway.

Above: This 1962 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster is barely broken in. The car, chassis No. 198.042.10.0003020, has been in the same family almost 50 years. It is all original, including the tires. It's even got the original bill of sale. How much? Gooding says the estimated sale price "is available upon request." If you have to ask...
