Good publicity for the W126.

Well, at least it runs! I'd rather see it like that than in a junkyard. It CAN be undone, but how much are you willing to pay? Like someone else said, it's a mass produced sedan so it's not like a gullwing got gutted out. I probably see close to 10 W126s a day here in Houston, about 60% of them 300SDs.

I think I saw that car driving around in Sebastapol, near Bodega Bay once. Or it might've been another pen covered SD

Nah, BenzWorld wouldn't like that car at all. Now, if it was lowered and had monoblocks and Euros...

Yeah, now what really would've been creative would've been welding an upside down W126 to the top of it.

I hope this doesn't encourage someone.

There used to be a honda civic around here that was covered in lighters and spelled crack in rainbows in the back. I talked to the owner and he said he found everyone of the lighters in a crack house he bought and renovated. I am guess DOT said it wasn't safe to drive around as a pending fireball.

I think it would look better if he glued macaroni to it and painted it gold!
