| Totally Wicked Mercedes 500 SL Street Rod 05/08/2008 07:08. Multi-colored body panels aside, this looks like a stock 500 SL,
but there's a burly square-tube chassis and Corvette suspension
under the Mercedes-Benz sheet metal. The eBay ad never mentions why the builder—who works full
time for Jack Roush's NASCAR team—choose to hide
that hardware under a German drop-top, but he's done one hell of a
job. There's still plenty of work to be done
here—it still needs paint, an interior and a
powertrain—but as the ad points out, the lion's
share of the work has already been done. Full description and tons
more pics after the jump . This is a custom built Mercedes 500 SL Street Rod. The car was
built from scratch, all square tube frame, Corvette suspension,
this car is a Street Rod, not a factory Mercedes. The body as you
can... // Jalopnik
