CLK-powered 280SL at Amelia

Most interesting thing is the use of the rear subframe from the CLK to replace the swing axle. They also used custom 16" wheels for the bigger brakes but they take the full-size wheel cover -- nice choice. The wheels look pretty good. My quibble is that the radio does not look "modernized" with bluetooth... that looks like some modern radio which sticks out like a sore thumb. Crinkled leather around the dash piece over the gauges isn't great. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to scrutinize this car more deeply when I'm up there.

I like it!

Funnily enough, I have a CLK430 in the garage as well.

Lots of pondering going on.

Sold for about 150k.

The market values reasonably well-done restomodded Pagodas.
