I'm guessing that the under-hood photos are from a different car also.

Where exactly did that wierd top come from? An old LeBaron? Was the car a coupe or a cabrolet before it met its pain?

I don't think they made cabriolets in '88. It was probably a coupe. Can we say bowl of Jello?

For some reason, I bet that interior smells like a mixture of weed and mildew.

I'm gonna go see it, it's near me in Philly. I want $5 per picture, and $10 to clandestinely record my conversation with the seller.

That's cheaper than any comedy club you'll ever go to, and I am damn sure it will be funnier too.

Oh I cant wait! I saw this thing earlier and almost woke up everyone in my house. It was so funny I almost cried a little.

I was thinking the same thing... It looks like a junkyard mish-mash of MB, K car, and Fox body Mustang parts all put in a clothes dryer and tumbled until they stuck together in random places!

A buddy of mine in Philly sent me that link last night. I love this line:

ITS A MERCEDES A NAME THAT SPEAKS OF ITSELF, & ITS NOT A REGULAR MERCEDES ITA AN AMG WITH A V8 ENGINE.

Somehow I don't think that top down photo is of this car either...

I can't wait to see how he will invest some money ON his Ferrari (probably a Fiero kit car )

I'm curious as to what the MS-paint photoshop attempt was trying to hide around the headlights. Anyone else notice the really poor attempt at editing these photos? It must be that artistic vision of his.

Oh goodness...the window tint is actually white SPRAY PAINT. Look closely and you can see it - he left a little area to see the side view mirrors. Also looks like a bit of overspray on the windshield? I don't think I've ever seen a bigger piece of junk, especially a mercedes. I'd check it out since I'm in the area but honestly I'd be scared for my life even meeting the person who did this.

Oh, AND the cherry on top - the ebay free vehicle history report indicates the last reported odometer reading in 1995 as 75,000. Hmmmmmmm....

Heh, I once found a green w124 on fleabay with "Kustom" paint, wheels entirely too large, and a cloth "gucci" interior. It made me so sad inside.

That thing needs to be crushed.

I can't wait to see pic's of the "Ferrari"!

Oh boy... he updated the listing. looks like he wants about $10k for it!

" I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2004 FROM FBI SEIZED AUCTION, THE CAR HAD 1 OWNER BEFORE ME, I COLLECTED OVER 40 BULLETS THAT WAS IN THE CAR, ALL THE WINDOWS EXCEPT THE PASSENGER SIDE, THE TOP, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR & THE TWO FRONT SEAT WERE RAINED WITH BULLETS."

I've seen some disgusting messes in my day, but none as grotesque as this.

I like cars as they were designed, it would be arrogant for me to think that I could do better than the army of engineers that M-B has on payroll.

His story is full of holes just like this car was when it was shot up.Im guessing target practice not some glorious hollywood killing bad guys dead event.He mentions body work on door ritteled with holes ,(bondo).Price purchased from auction , 5k plus.If I was buying a shot up car ,(at an auction no less), the walk out price would be more like $500.Keep dreaming guy ,maybe your dreams of selling a story will come true .
