jeez, that's a lot of hype for this car. Which frankly just does not excite me. Sorry Mercedes.

----Richard was my boss for most of the years I lived in Hinsdale Il. Some of the best years of my life. He was a great boss, and a good friend!....Bill S

Interesting story about it's creation, life and restoration back to original.

Fun chatting w/you and Stretch and other good fellers at MCACN about those times and cars!

Very cool story!!

I enjoyed reading about that car, great article.

I worked there the summer of 1985 and washed this car a few times.........great to know it is still around and looks great. I always loved Lapis Blue and didn't realize it was so unique. Like Bill - great memories for me as a 15 year old kid in a shop like that. I am fortunate to still be friends with some of the people I worked with there all those years ago.

I remember that car very well!!:beers:
Anytime I see a super rare car that went through Classic Motors, it reminds me of how incredibly lucky we were to be around all this bad assery.( Grand Sport 001, LS6 Chevelle Converts, AMG, Ultra low mile muscle cars and Corvettes, etc.
That shop had a tremendous impact on us as kids growing up.

So true
