Haha, that's awesome. Such an odd combination, but cool nonetheless.

Haha, that's awesome. Such an odd combination, but cool nonetheless.

Literally my exact thoughts on this car.

I was trying to figure out who has a 73 Benz and a 97 cobra sitting and thought it would be a great idea to do a 4v swap in this thing. Haha surprised the 4v doesn't rip that old Benz apart

Mine as well. I like it. Nice looking body style. Ford V8 power. :thumbsup:

Strange that I'm thinking of buying this thing?

I dont think so. Thats a cool looking little car...has sort of a regal look to it.

Growing up, my neighbors had an old BMW. That car was cool. The interior quality was really good. Had the same color leather as this mercedes.

Reason for this swap?
It's easy!
Have you ever had to get a Mercedes Benz engine overhauled?
The engine work on a blown engine (I am assuming the original engine was shot) would exceed the value of the entire car. So why not drop in a junk yard Ford V-8 and enjoy the car for another decade.

you know people did do engine swaps before the coyote engine came out lol!

That is actually a good price for that car, very clean! I wish it was local.

 

[04owmach]

He also swapped most of the dash out of the cobra in too. Not sure if you guys caught that too.

that engine doesn't deserve to be inside such a piece of shit car

 

[TaraFirma]

He'd prob take $3500-4000 cash for it if it was waved in his face.

I'd have bought it if it was a Termi swap. Interesting none the less.

that engine doesn't deserve to be inside such a piece of shit car

The car it can out of was a bigger piece of shit lol
