Looking for a classic? TC on a MB

Came across this ad on CL. Thought it was a weird combo...

Rat Rods are popular. Maybe this is the start of Rat RV's?

Never mind, Cousin Eddy started that fad..

Rat rods ARE all the rage.
That would be an AWESOME rig to take on the Hot Rod Power Tour!
Especially with an LS swap.

I think it’s pretty cool and it’s quite well done.

Needs to be cleaned up and redone a bit, it’s got same aging, although actually the current thing is “patina”, leaving things looking like “barn finds” but with all fresh running gear underneath. That’s what’s cool now.
But here, anything like this even well done gets trash talked.
That’s fine, no harm done, you guys just don’t “get” stuff like this.

Not quite a classic, maybe an abomination would be more appropriate. 🙂

Yeah, we've got spoiled looking at $150,000 MB Sprinter ClasC, but I think 50 years ago that was a real head turner and very desirable traveling vehicle.
Those engines although with low HP, have huge torque and can deliver 35 mpg.

Yikes. That’s even worse than I imagined it would be.

:):)

[gbopp]

Definitely unique.

Somebody did put some work on it.
Heck, this is ClasC - you post in wrong forum :B
That MB would be worth fortune with original body.
190 engine >>> we are talking whooping ca 40 HP.

Definitely different but I would not drive it.
