I hate pimped MBs - even chrome wheels, but remove the spoilers and the piping on the seats and that is a nice car! Looks like the power seats in back seriously reduce legroom, though. I like the headrests W/mirrors and the picnic tables. Thanks for posting it.

I am suspicious on how the seller answered the question about why it can't be sold in CA. Would bet that it has failed emissions test not the 49 state compliant BS.

Dash looks hokey, did they add wood on top of the old? It sticks out a lot. See wood around shifter too....

Brings back a lot of memories. A Gemballa at that level is very rare, and it certainly shows the "over the top" 80s in full swing. Neat car, a tad tasteless.

If it can't be registered in CA, why does it have CA plates???

It doesn't look as bad as I was expecting. Just a little pimpilicious . . .

Looks like it has Transport (Repair) plates.
