My brother John and I recently purchased a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing replica business from Hermann Quint. As you may know, Hermann built a first-generation replica from an original Mercedes 300SL and built 30 cars in the late 70's / early 80's. We plan to create these cars with the same enthusiasm and commitment to quality that were Hermann's trademarks. He will also be helping us build the first cars.

We are in the process of "ramping up", but we put together a quick website to get started: www.m-wingmotors.com. Please send any questions to info@m-wingmotors.com. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Matt Mazza

if you need some parts for your 300 sl, just have a look at
www.niemoeller.de
the make almost everything for the 300 sl and other MB classics.

@seagull: i thought that keinle does only restoration, anyhow niemoeller is here in germany the common spareparts seller.

bye james.

i am only replying to this subject cuz i couldn't find the right one, and it gets the most hits. so, my questions is does anyone know if somewhere there is a company that manufactures either production of specialty cars of the 1995 ford gt90 concept or the 1996 ford indigo concept. thank you

can somebody tell me, if there is a company who makes repro/replica parts for the 300sl Gullwing?

bye James.

Sorry for the reply to the older thread, but I can't seem to find a current thread on this topic. Any who, I have been searching for a 300sl gullwing Mercedes kit... I know of a pretty nice one from Lonestar Classics here in the Dallas area (where I live), but it is a roadster. I saw the thread from the m-wingmotors.com guys, but it seems a little strange that they don't have a phone number on their page.

So I guess I have two questions, are they legit, and has anyone purchased from them

Thanks!!
Clint

This is Matt Mazza from M-Wing Motors. Just wanted to let you know that we are indeed legit. We are currently in the process of refining the body and tube chassis and will have a body on chassis in a few months. We have made several changes in our build strategy in the past few months, including:

- Changing from Corvette-based (shortened C3) chassis to tube chassis (original 300SL specs with modifications: new drivetrain and additional upper structure to support pillars & door hinge assemblies, etc.)
- Change from Corvette C3 to C5 suspension,
- Change from small block Chevy to LS1 motor & modern transmission

Our website is therefore slightly out-of-date but we will be updating it soon. FYI, our production facility is outside of Philadelphia in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Also, we are currently focusing on turkey cars but expect to offer kits in the future (difficult to predict exact timeframe at this time.)

Thanks for your interest and feel free to E-mail directly with any specific questions.

Sincerely,
Matt Mazza

Hey Jaysherman, thanks for the info, I am just a little nervous about the negative comments in the forums that I have read about TB.

Do you or Gullwing have any picts of your kits/work so far? and James, I'd be really interested in hearing about your experience with a long distance purchase from TB since (I think you said that) you are from Germany. TB seems to have more bad coments than good ones, I don't know them at all so I just need to go by what I read.

Thanks all!!

Sorry for being the hard a** but I have read so many stories of people being burned and there are too many operations that came and went in VERY short while, so I am just being verrrrrrry cautious (did I say very yet?).

Thanks for taking the beating; keep the info coming and the more pictures, info, videoed testimonials , the better.

No problem - we are well aware of the scammers out there and we are taking our time to do this right. We will definitely have more pictures to show of the work in progress.

Some background on the photos currently on the site: these are cars built by Hermann Quint. We purchased the business from Hermann and have been building the car from his design, using the molds and plans we purchased. We have also been making some modifications along the way, which I mentioned in my previous posting.

Stay tuned and thanks for the questions. We are glad to hear from you.

- Matt

I'll have both eyes and ears open.
