Would you believe us if we told you that you’re looking at a car that was found sitting in an abandoned field not too long ago? Purchased for a little over a thousand dollars, the owner Ruslan and his friend “maddrift” Mike managed to get the car running and back on the road in no time. What once seemed like just another beater, has been transformed into this daily driver. Still rocking the original Original AMG package, which includes all the body kit pieces, other then a little bit of scuffs here and there, the car is in great condition for it’s age. The fact that it was a show car prior to being abandoned probably has something to due with it! It’s truly astonishing what you can find if you look at the right place at the right time. Check out these pictures, they will do a lot of talking for us.

After fixing the car and getting it back on the road, Ruslan and his friend Mike started hunting for some wheels on Ebay, and bought these aggressive and rare Speedline wheels that the Porsches used to run back in the very early 90′s. Not knowing if they would even fit, they took a chance. After getting them, they went to work on the fenders to make them fit! Lots of rolling and pulling, these 18×12 and 18×10 somehow sat perfectly! As good as the wheels look, it’s always important that you have a nice set of brakes/rotors, so Mike managed to mount on the Mercedes S-Class Big Brakes, which is by the way a 4 pistons front & 2 pistons rear. You just won’t see a fitted 300E like this anywhere, in the US at least.

Sitting Right:
Re-barreled ’91 Porsche Speedline Wheels
F: 18×10 et+20 225/40/18
R: 18×12 et+20 245/40/18
Custom matched eibach suspension (springs/shocks)

The owner tells us that he drives it like this everyday through Puget Sound area, no air suspension. It turns head everyday and people notice it. We’re not surprised at all, this beautiful German machine is definitely a car to remember. The second I saw pictures from the Formula D in Evergreen I knew we had to show more of this car! With that said, check out rest of the picture and make sure you hit the Like button on top if you love it as much as we do.

A clean video that Jonathan made to go with the feature.

    I've never seen one this nice before, but I've always wanted one of these benzos. I had a 190e before and it was rather plain looking and slow. Anyways this is way better than the 190e. Although I still want one of those 190e 2.3 16v with the amg package, or the cosworth evo2.

    The passenger side, front fender is damaged right over the wheel (even after heavy photoshoping) and you can see in the very first photo, how it sticks out more than the driver's side. Not a hater, just pointing out what I can see.
