Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) just to buy the Merc in the first place???

A well sorted SC will always be worth something. The "more" water cooled cars Porsche produces the more valuable the (unmolested) air cooled cars become.

Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

They are selling the Fiat Spider that was ''converted'' into a Ferrari for the Ferris Bueller movie, and it is on Ebay right now.

Looks like it will get some fair coin, and it was well done.

I once heard that C-class stood for "'Can't' afford a real Mercedes"...so if you are going to pass a Honda off as a Mercedes, why choose a C-class, even an AMG?

I thought it was made from an MG. Do you have a link to the eBay listing?
