FS: One-of-a-kind Mercedes “Benzamino”

While attending a preview drive in Charleston, SC, I spied a most unique vehicle parked near a major thoroughfare: a pickup based on a W124 Mercedes-Benz wagon. Some people still regard the W124 as the best all-around car the company ever made. A quick Internet search will find a few other "Benzaminos," but this could be the only one based on the W124. Also unlike the others, the intent with this conversion–performed by an independent repair shop that specializes in Mercedes–appears to have been to make the end result look as close to "factory" as possible. No badge on the tailgate, so the powertrain is unclear. If it were a diesel, though, the ad would probably mention this. A final difference: this one's currently for sale. $17,000 or best offer takes it. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
