This 1994 Mercedes Benz 500SL wears a Koenig widebody kit most likely fitted when new or very close to it. The car’s Japanese language ad might be much more informative to a native speaker, but when translated it seems to pose more questions than are answered–what does “even after the purchase in beans of it is a good car” mean? Apparently unmodified apart from cosmetics and a loud exhaust, we think it looks amazing in a totally over-the-top way. Find it here on Enthuno Mori in Tsukuba, Japan for 3.55m JPY (~$28,400 USD today). Special thanks to BaT reader Dr. D. for this submission.

Check out that custom grille badge. We always wonder, what kind of character would have bought something like this new? We’re sure the car has a very interesting past. Condition looks to be quite nice overall, however the seller does point out several small paint and bodywork imperfections.

Here’s a good shot of the exhaust. According to the seller “It should be noted that the muffler is equipped with exhaust sound (outside), I was out a good sound tickle man’s feelings.” Sadly, no video is included. The interior wears bright red leather inserts on the seats as well as door cards, and apart from an aftermarket stereo, cup holder, upgraded, white faced gauges and lots of added wood trim, things look largely standard inside. Currently, the passenger side window doesn’t roll down, and we gather that both A/C and the power top might be acting up as well.

Recent work is said to have included fitment of a new radiator, Bilsteins, H&R springs, spark plugs, belts, tensioner, motor mounts, brake pads, fuel pump, fuel filter and a few more things noted in the ad. Modifications aren’t mentioned–or if they are they’re not translated–but from what we can make out, things look to be all stock underhood.

Bring some mirrored Oakleys–it doesn’t get more 90’s than this.
