The airbag has likely been gutted, removed. Nothing will deploy.
It is against federal law to remove an airbag from a any vehicle originally supplied with one from the factory. This is tampering with a safety device. At the least they will deny state inspection or registration. At the most fines can be levied against an owner operating such a car on a public road. I hope any potential buyer realizes this.
Also, thank god this is a rare example of a tasteless modification to an SL. Some cars are not so lucky and are subject to this kind of ridiculous hacking on an all to regular basis.
