@superdiscochino, imagine a timeline where Don Yenko was building tricked out Saab 900 SPGs.

I drove this nasty thing 100 miles in two days.  I love all my cars, but I am so obsessed with this car right now.

After extensive work on the fuel system and tracing several vacuum leaks, this thing is running great!  Misfires begone!   I swapped out the factory 13″ wheels for a set of 14″ wheels which were donated from Bad Benzo, and fitted some proper snow tires on all four corners.  This thing is a literal tank in the snow!  It also weighs about 3,200lbs, but it goes exactly where I tell it to, and it won’t get sideways no matter how hard I try to toss it around!  I’m in love with this car. Yeah, yeah, I know, driving a classic in the snow… salt… rust… I’ll be honest, this thing isn’t very pretty underneath, and the body repairs were less than stellar.  I’d like to enjoy it for a little bit before I take it off the road to restore it.

I made a little progress on the 1963 220SE in the past few weeks. Under the yellow vinyl was original Euro spec cloth seats in almost perfect shape. Because I have a filthy dog who likes to get everything dirty, I swapped them out for red MB-Tex out of the 1965 220S. (See happy dog with muddy paws sitting on freshly cleaned seat for reference)
