I have always wanted to build a Mercedes C-111, have a Corgi but that's not the same. Does not seem to be any kits available, just this horrid motorized toy from a defunct manufacturer. I just had to get it. It would be a ton of work to correct the body to begin with, but it's basic shape looks correct. Even Jay Leno could not own one, since Mercedes has kept all of them, so my idea is to double up on the sacrilegious aspect, and resto-rod it with using the chassis and engine, and some of the interior, from another legendary car that won Le Mans. What is your reaction to this idea?
1. You are crazy?
2. I'll buy that C-111 for double what you paid for it.
3. Wish I thought of that.
4. Why don't you build something normal like Fords or something?
5. Are you freaking insane?!?!?
