Wow..... Nice gauges and steering wheel. Plus the badging is pretty neat

Damnn, they should have spent more time on using a benz AC compressor to stick with original climate control and perhaps integrate better looking gauges but other than that that car must take down some AMGs.

What a POS
A salvage car that probably was stolen and was either wrecked or had the engine blown.
Or the valuable stuff (engine / tranny /electronic modules) got yanked out at the salvage yard and this person buys the body shell.
Since GM V8's are plentiful and cheap that's what went into it.
Since the I/P cluster and A/C controls use the MB ECM, the guages, speedo, HVAC were useless with the Chevy engine, therefore the boat guages.
But the thing that really tops it all off are the console switches and the jury rigged A/C controls.
Also, noticed the headlight switch and the non-Smartkey iginition switch in the pictures?
A lot of the electric stuff got yanked out of that car...
All that car is worth for now is the body panels and interior trim pieces frankly - it's just a bunch of parts.

They b edumakated...
This is a rebuilt car with a rebuilt title. It was showed at the local car show where we traded our Rolls Roys
Airbag on driver side is not there for a obvious reason due to having a new shiny racing steering wheel
AC only blows from 2 side vents so it does get warm in there even though AC works great.
