That's mad bling bling.
$275,000??? Did they forget to put a decimal point in front of the 2?

I have seen this before and I am pretty sure it used to be owned by a member of the Rat Pack. I want to say Sammy Davis Jr, but it might have been Dean Martin.

Prototype my a$$!!!
With an OEM interior...it looks like a body shop creation for a celebrity in Las Vegas...with more $$$ than taste! No way Mercedes-Benz would have released anything of such garage-shop quality fabrication as a prototype! I guess because it is (was) owned by Wayne Newton that it's worth so much $$$$. If I were going to acquire a celebrity MB, it would be Hitler's Mercedes!

DEFINITELY more $$$ than taste...that thing is horrendous! Certainly looks like a car that a Vegas entertainer would drive!
 I would like to have that giant grille emblem to mount on my wall, though!  Mike

$275,000 for this piece of junk? Only Wayne Newton has such poor taste. Hope he did not pay $275K for it. If he did, boy he is more stupid than I thought.

Now I remember where I've seen something like it before.We have backstreet customizers over here whose combination of angle grinders,welders,beer and no sense of taste produce some sorry looking cars!!
