I didn't realize laying MBZ panels on top of a Chrysler made it a replica.

How's it not sold yet?

Wow, that makes the '50(?) Mercury on an '80s Thunderbird look good.

Scrap metal set on top of larger pile of scrap metal = scrap value

A real 500sl isn't even very expensive any more. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4686285778.html tempting.

It's probably a JOVI LTD kit from the '90's. They made body kits to make the Lebaron look like a SL. Later they made a similar kit using a Fox Mustang under the skin. Assembled properly they were pretty convincing.

That's cheap-ish, but from the compostable wiring loom period.
