Gazelles and MG-TDs are too common.

Gazelles and MG-TDs are too common.
Get a Cheetah, especially one that's missing its roof, and you'll be the only
kid on the block with one.
And with a 8.2L big block Chevy in a 1700lb car with rear weight bias,
acceleration is exhilarating...
Turns out I mis-remembered - he has an MG-TD replicar kit for a pinto or
something chassis, not the faintly resembling a Mercedes kit.

Looks like modern owners aren’t that caught up in the details as I continue to
be amazed at the number of these that are on the market. I think I counted
nearly 30 individual listings on my morning national Craigslist search.
Many are half done, poorly done, and cheap. So MMM, the entry point
If memory serves, the SSK was technically only a chassis ala Cord and
Duesenberg. The manufacturer partnered with a carriage maker and sold
completed vehicles, but they were hand built, not mass produced, so they
weren't all exactly identical. They were sport / race cars, so the bodies
were
Yeah, but the $1,000 one is more what I had in mind, budgetwise...

I thought the brand new one (the first one Dan linked) looked interesting for
$3500...which I think is less than the kit sold for in 1985 without the
drivetrain.

Not even much of a replica if you have a look at photos of the real 1929
Mercedes SSK.

OK - I just sent him an inquiry - if he does have one to sell, I'll put you
two in contact and get out of the middle.

Rather odd that they advertise them as being Mercedes. Not much about
them is Mercedes. A hoodstar maybe if someone springs for it but
nothing else.

IIRC, a neighbor has one of those kits and the chassis to put it on that he
bought as an abandoned project. He's trying to clean up and reduce the
number of cars he has to focus more on airplanes. I can ask if he wants to
get rid of it cheep if you're really interested in creating Maxwell . . .
Yes, but how many of them are Maxwells? ;)

I just looked at my national Craigslist search at lunch. And out of maybe 300
ads for a Mercedes between 1959 and 1967 I got over 20 of the Gazelles in the
results.

I'm halfway tempted to get a Gazelle, get rid of the Mercedes emblems and
put "Maxwell" on it instead in honor of Jack Benny...

Chevette floorpan?
Never heard of that, or any unibody chassis being used for that matter.
I think the Fiberfab Gazelle was a custom chassis with a Pinto drivetrain and
suspension.

You can’t imagine how many of these I see for sale on my daily national
Craigslist search when I’m looking for finnies. Lots and lots, maybe 10-12 in
a day’s search.
