Anyone heard of a Mercedes SL 73

I was down in Florida about two weeks ago and saw the sickest Mercedes I have ever seen. I drove by it a couple times, it was a SL 73, looked just like a regular SL but with sick stock rims. It was red with red and black stock mercedes rims. I honestly can't tell you much more other then it was SICK! I did a little research and found that there used to be a 1995 SL 73 and it had the engine they used to make the GTR a V12 and all this other crazy stuff, really fast. This car though had the body of a new SL roadster so I don't know what the deal is. Has anyone ever seen or heard anything about the Mercedes? I would love to know more about it!

zoot, since he said : "This car though had the body of a new SL roadster so I don't know what the deal is"

i'm guessing its one made by renntech since they are known to upgrade the cars in such fashion.

Benz ricers lol


Of course there are a few, most of the time it involves emblem swapping i.e. s430 for s500 or s600 etc lol

It's a V-12, 7 liter from Renntech, they used to make them in the old body style; mid-ninety's. The car ran a 12.1 In one of the car mags. It was like $300,000. Mike Tyson had one.
