This 1929 Mercedes-Benz Gazelle (titled as a 1929 Mercedes-Benz SSK PEPL Convertible) captures the unmistakable styling of one of the most iconic sports cars of the pre-war era. Inspired by the legendary Mercedes-Benz SSK roadsters of the late 1920s and early 1930s, Gazelle replicas were produced primarily during the 1970s and 1980s as kit cars designed to bring the elegant look of these historic European performance cars to enthusiasts at a more approachable cost. Featuring sweeping fenders, an upright grille, external exhaust styling, and classic roadster proportions, the Gazelle delivers the visual drama of a vintage grand touring car.
Gazelle kits were typically constructed with fiberglass bodies mounted over modern, serviceable mechanical components, allowing owners to enjoy classic styling without the expense and complexity of maintaining an original pre-war luxury automobile. Many examples were built using readily available donor drivetrains from vehicles such as the Ford Pinto, Chevrolet Chevette, or Volkswagen Beetle, making them simple to maintain and easy to source parts for.
This particular example is powered by a Ford Pinto-based drivetrain paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, sending power to the rear wheels through 3.08 gearing. The combination of lightweight construction and a straightforward rear-wheel-drive setup makes the car enjoyable and approachable to drive, while still delivering the nostalgic open-air motoring experience these cars are known for.
The current owner has cared for this Gazelle since 1996, showing nearly three decades of long-term ownership. The car is well equipped with several accessories including a convertible soft top, clip-on side windows, a cockpit/cabin cover, and a full car cover, providing flexibility whether the car is being driven, displayed at shows, or stored.
With its distinctive 1920s styling, simple mechanical components, and engaging open-top driving experience, this Gazelle offers a fun and eye-catching way to enjoy the spirit of classic European motoring. It is an excellent option for someone looking for a unique vintage-style cruiser that stands out wherever it goes.
