Yeah thats very true, but Im all for creativity..... id like to see what he could to with an early 70's 280SEL 4.5.... he manages to customize cars rather tastefully without butchering their original designs... the silver Corvette Stingray he did being a perfect example.

He might throw in a GM or Ford powerplant, but from an aesthetical point of view I would find it VERY interesting to see how he customizes the car....
Maybe a super nice paint job (2-tone?) Custom wheels (maybe 17" inspired by the Mercedes "bundt" style alloys) larger brakes, a custom interior incorporating alcantara, a little more wood trim, and some chrome, and some sort of performance exhaust system...

The possibilities are endless with that guy! The final product may not be every MB enthusiasts cup of tea, but it certainly would be different!
