Not quite, the Gull wing was my dad's dream car, he finally bought one at auction for his 50th B-Day (22 years ago now). He started collecting whiel he was restoring a 1932 Cadillac V-16 a friend gave him after it was being used as an herb planter on a farm in Bolivia. During the 9 years it took to restore the Caddy he got really into cars and went to auctions frequently.
an herb planter? haha nice! what kinda herbs.. no seriously thats really cool so what does he currently have/own?

What a way to ruin a very rare classic. My dad has a 52 300sl Gull wing, beautiful car, but this is a travesty. That car is why too rare and beautiful to do this to it, just plain stupid. :thumbsdown:
if it was any joe shmoe chip foose butchering the car, i would agree. BUT this was done by AMG. so its a limited edition run of just 10 done by the factory; IMO this gets top marks.

Nice but the modern wheels do look a bit odd on that car though.
+1 look-wise
