1973 Mercedes 280SE

ewwwww.

That thing blows. Look at this dealer's *OTHER* cars for sale, almost all of them Cadillac and Chevy Impala low riders. HARDLY an authority on Mercedes history, I would think. This car should have remained stock, and at its stock height. This is what happens when rodders and customizers get their hands on a Mercedes classic. those guys should stay with their tubbed '32 Deuce coupes in chicken fat yellow.

Look again, this thing was made into a low rider too, or else the suspension is collapsed. It looks horrible in a two tone.

And no, it is NOT the last of the had built ones. Maybe closer to hand assembled, (though that would be more likely a '71 350SE cabrio, in my opinion) but there's a difference between hand - "assembled" and hand - "built"

Yeah, they ruined a nice old Benz.

Perhaps this is more to your taste in hand builts?

Linky no worky.

Try again - not sure what happened there!

The Swede · #7 03-21-2007, 06:12 PM

Works now, thanks.

That looks to be more of an art car, with lots of cultural influences. Fine by me -- an artistic expression.

The 280 is just pure nonsense. If you want a bad ass lowrider, do it to a '77 Coup de Ville, not an old Mercedes. Doesn't make sense.

^^^^^^That's just absolutely vulgar, a Mercedes Ponton automobile covered in mink fur, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and gold plate. ickkk

Lowered my ass.

I say we take the guy out and shoot him for ruining that beautiful old MB.

Not many MB's in "da hood" (at least not the kind you'd want).

Is that "Snoop-Dog's" car? What a mess, It looks like something King Tutt, would have driven, to the Pyramid job sights and back.... Reminds me of a carnival, Merry Go Round horse. Wow, Really Ghetto.

Wasn't my 88 560 SEC, AMG EURO, all hand built, or just hand assembed, or neither...? I've been told it was some sort of Hand-Job car, by some of my friends...HMMM.
I've gotta go shave my palms, see you all after... I can't see the keyboard where are my glasses...?

Hand jobs are $25.00.

Hand jobs, heh.

AMG motors are hand assembled, to a point. Check out the AMG propaganda on the Merc website.
