For the past few weeks, Jesse has been on the hunt for a more practical and spacious daily driver. He’s been looking for something that can haul tons of stuff and a car seat. He’s talked about Volvo and Mercedes wagons and while both can be great cars, I keep telling him he needs something more unique, but still dependable for the coming winter. Well I think I’ve found him the perfect winter beater for hauling junk, heck it could even be used to pull our own finds out of barns. This 1961 Mercedes was converted into what can best be described as a luxury monster truck. Its chassis was borrowed from a 1978 Chevy Blazer 4×4, so it shouldn’t have any problems getting around this winter! Take a look at this monster Mercedes here on eBay out of Hardy, Arkansas.

While this might be a hilarious sight and possibly even a great winter beater, it seems like a bit of a waste of a Mercedes 220s. Of course I see the irony of a jacked up Mercedes and I appreciate the work that goes into building a machine like this, I just hate seeing a fintail modified to this extent. Speaking of modifications, the seller doesn’t give the exact details of how they built it, but I would assume the work done can’t easily be reversed. They didn’t provide any photos of the underside, the interior, or the engine bay, but they are willing to provide more photos to interested parties. It is currently powered by a 350 cui V8 and with 35″ tires, it is going to need as much power as possible to turn those big wheels. So what do you guys think, should Jesse get a plan old wagon or this beefed up Mercedes 4×4?
