Another Winner

Some of you probably remember some of my oddball or disgusting Mercedes-Benz related ebay finds from the past few months. Here's another

its good to know "the paint's still in good shape". (nice to see that color's on the engine, also. )

There should be a law against that sort of car abuse.
The only up side is that no one would ever steal it from you!!

HEY!!! My first car was that color!!!

1963 Chevy Impala SS - Although, the hood was flat-black and the thing ran like a raped-ape.

327ci, 3spd, 100# Racing Clutch, Hurst shifter, Lake-pipes DIRECTLY off the headers.

Yep, I could have cared less what the color was, just as long as I had gas in the tank and the GF along for the ride...or I was heading to get her.

My $.02:

The green car was done correctly, the car is jambed, they painted under the hood, it has staggered wheels, and a 430 front bumper. The car doesn't have AMG written on it, nor DUB. Far from the worst I've ever seen.

The Koenig SLC is awesome, 80s stuff is so much fun. If I had spare money right now I'd be bidding on it.

All it needs is a full-body pinstripe that looks like the salt on the rim of a margarita glass!
