Now I've seen clean salvage title cars, but that is just horrible. Not only was it a terrible idea to begin with, but look at the gaps around the headlights, it wasn't even put together cleanly.

Notice the gaps on the right side on the doors verses the left and the gaps around head lights. Bet the frames bent. Salvage title is ok if it was in a wreck. Wheels are to small. Want that engine in me te!!!!!

That thing has been knocking around for a few months. Had a buddy of mine run the VIN at MB. Came back with a HUGE WARNING to call mercedes about that car. Likely crash and then conversion with 210 front and rear. Has a ridiculous vortex supercharger on it as well. Stay away..

I've never heard of a carfax warning to contact a manufacturer...what on earth would trigger that? Theft? Intense ugly-fication?

Maybe MB wants to buy and demolish it to avoid further embarrassment?

I wouldn't be surprised...It really is just appalling who would do that.

Those body kits have been around for years. When I first saw one I thought it was a cool kit but then looking closely I didn't like the round to angular surface transitions. That dash extension is ..."special"

An owner once offered me his kit in exchange for stock body parts. Apparently he was tired of it...
