I don't know. I think it's what it's said to be.

I've incorporated parts from 5 different 123/126 MBs into my 300SD. Were I to tell a buyer about that, I guess I'd just sound like a salesman? This kind of upgrade (seats, interior etc., with a stronger motor if not a new one) is exactly the sort of thing old Audi Quattro folks do all the time- that's my other obsession- so I don't know but I think it's probably just the bizarre story of what happened.

if you were big in the dot com boom like some of my buddies were, you could tell tales of the Astroturf party, the 911SC dukes o' hazzard shenanigans, and the Scotland castle hijinks. I witnessed the first two, didn't make it to Scotland.

What if this guy was just telling the tales of an MB misadventure? I built a 1989 Audi Quattro with the interior from a 1990, and 1988 axles, diff, and driveshaft, to say nothing of the 1993 rims- drove it home to AZ from NH, too.

If I tried to sell that, would you call shenanigans?
