I posted this in another thread, but thought it deserved its own thread.:cool:

only one question?

why?:eek:

IIRC, the conversion was by Binz....not MB. I drove one of those around the parking lot at an MBCA Xmas party about 7-8 years ago.

I'm not sure what I think of it. I'm generally all for the weird and different. Sort of a high-end 2WD Subaru Baja look to it. I think it's the "standard" rear door outline that keeps catching my eye, should have been squared off on the trailing edge even if only sheetmetal for continuity.

Nonetheless, it'd make a good $wamp Yankee with Money ride. :D

You're right Swamp. It looks better with the rear door adjusted and made into a suicide style.:cool:

Looks like one of those funeral flower cars.

Binz makes a lot of funeral coaches and flower cars too, so your eyes did not deceive you...awkward looking thing, the proportions are all wrong. I have to imagine that the workmanship if good though.

Here's a few quick proportional changes too :D:

Ehhh, still doesnt flow..... All Mercedes designs usually flow really well, that one just puts a dam in the stream.

:repuke: This is what that makes me do.

I just threw-up in my mouth a little bit.

Get ready for more reflux ... I found an article on one of the others that were made: :D

Too bad they haven't made this one yet:

Perfect for the German redneck. Just needs a case of long-necks and a hunting dog.:rolleyes:

This I'd buy.

needs some rifles, fishing poles and a white trash owner.

Think whoever did that was smokin rocks

i thought the chryslerized hatchback thing was the nadir of benzness;
boy was i wrong.

It needs sidepipes.

Some Mercedes owners DO live in trailers! :eek:

I.E. - Redneck trailertrash... :rolleyes::D

Nah, we hicks prefer stacks. :)

Not a limo . . .

C220 . . . Pickup!

Can you dig it?

I kind of like Chads version with the suicide doors. Like a classy El Camino.

It's different. I like.

I think it would look better as a two door (like an El Camino), the shorter length would flow better.

you beat me too it. I think someone had too much time on their hands...

Someone dig up a picture of Carl Middlehaus's Benzomino. Thats how it should be done.

Thanks, I forgot about mbgrand600. Having succesfully 12 stepped my way threw my lust for 300/600 series I can now go look at the site.

Theres a reason it only has 16,000 miles on it....any owners can only drive it at night to avoid detection.

Being "beat" by over a year . . . is that really being beaten to it? :D

It looks like a Toyota with a W210 nose grafted on. :thumbsdow

It'd make a great delivery vehicle for your seed company!! Get it!!

I worked for a large construction firm in SF for several years and the boss might have been a candidate for one of these. He had the most poshed out Dodge pickup I'd ever seen, the bed of which was rarely used. He was the kind of guy who was always looking to look deluxe in the customers' eyes and this Binz would have given him the look of a real construction dude with room for clients.
