Yes, he did. One of the two Coupés built was his "commuter" car.

Imagine Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg bidding on one at auction.  It would easily be the most expensive car ever sold.

 Not the most expensive cars, but I am in Germany currently. Brabus Classics has two W113 SLs for sale asking 298,000 Euro each.
