Hawaii Benz-pics

I saw this when I was staying in Kona on the big island last week. Pretty bizzare.

I'd like the white walls and maybe the hubcaps..

I love it....if I lived in Hawaii, I'd have one made for me just like it, but built on a W126 chassis.....and I'd troll the main drag and pick up Japanese tourists for narrated tours around the island.

I think it's pretty cool myself. I might change a thing or two. But if I lived in a beach community I could see cruising around in something like that!
