That is wrong on SO many levels. The toggle switches and putting a carburated motor in there?!?!? yeesh.. I also like the grammer. Sounds like a Nigerian money scam:

I second that on the window switches! What the hell were they thinking and why did they not just use the stock switches???? That's got to be one of the worst conversions I have ever seen. I imagine they are selling it with only 4K miles on the odometer because it drives like crap or something. They should have at least went EFI instead of carbuerated. I see the ABS pump is still there I wonder if they actually took the time to get it working or did they just leave it there unplugged. Poor,,,, Poor,,,,, CLK!

Looks like a plain old $500 motor to me, I wonder if it's any quicker that before? Those switches are killin me, and so is the climate control. Pretty low budget project...
Did you see the 28K price on the windshield? I can't imagine getting that much for one in perfect condition, this guys crazy.
Steering wheel to replace oem airbag unit?
Wth is that big box where my toes go?
Need one key for door (electronics are gone I assume), and one key for ign? Looks like a super easy to pick wafer type lock too.
Oh, and not even legal, at least here in Calif.

I will need to defend the carb tho, if I blew my motor (I have the same car, 99 CLK320), I would install a 377 or 400 chevy with a carb. I would use a Holley, not whatever he has (weber?). Never had any luck with fuel injection uc, efi is my cars biggest performance problem imo. Computers are for games and surfing the net, not managing fuel.
