I, uh... I can't say I agree with "old money on the outside" 😆

But beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!

Beautiful Mustang coming to Barrett-Jackson!

What engine is that in the GT427 ?

I'm a Ford guy and I'm a bit flummoxed.

It blows me away they bought a brand new S63 to do this car. I often wonder where all the money comes form in this hobby !
I am totally blown away they had the confidence to cut up a modern luxury car with all the wiring and subsystems etc. and mate it up like this. Heck just integrating those headlights sounds extremely difficult and requiring some very specialized knowledge of MB systems.

Its one thing to build a custom frame and drop a body onto it, that's been done many times, heck I've done it 3 times in my carport. But I'm really amazed when builders drop a body onto an existing unibody. Every time I"ve seen it done it looks incredibly difficult. There's a good youtube channel called Melomotive that is putting a Porsche 356 onto a 718 unibody and it looks soooo hard ! Kudos to these builders.

And for the record I'm digging the green Mercedes. Love the color love the execution but count me in as one who could do without the cheesy tacked on out of place wing.

ah well, see that's what confused me - I thought it was a modular engine but was wonder how they got the cubes - answer, its not a 427" engine !! Where do they get the GT427 name from I wonder.

The Pontiacs had much nicer interiors than their Chevrolet cousins.

Agreed.

Had a ‘70 Buick 455 Gran Sport convertible. IMO the GTO interior was way more interesting then the GS’s.

Also way preferred my ‘74 TA’s interior over the one I had in a ‘73 Z28.
