This project has me confused. Who would put a Yaris motor into a classic Mercedes? So immediately you think this is a kit car of some type. But then you see some of the wear and tear you might find on an original. So maybe someone had a classic 190 rusting in their backyard and then totaled their brand new Yaris. The individual who wrote up the eBay listing didn’t indicate this was a replica and claims its estimated market value to be $80,000.<\/p>\n

Either way you have a 1959 Mercedes 190 shell with a 2009 Toyota Yaris drivetrain. Which means this is a front wheel drive car car now.<\/p>\n

The listing started at $29,500 with a buy-now price of $35,500. The listing ended without any bids. So either the owner needs to drop the price or learn to enjoy this vehicle for the rest of their life.<\/p>\n
