Two-Tone Blue-Silver Metallic Parchment Leather Interior Parchment Carpeting & Floor Mats Burl Walnut Wood Trim 3" White Walls Stainless Steel Exhaust Original Hubcaps Lifting Boom |
When I first met Paul Bracq (the MB Grand 600 designer), while owning a 1969 Chevy 396 El Camino, I jokingly asked Paul -"Wouldn't it be fun to build an MB 600 Benzomino?!". Paul replied, "Why not?". It took only 3 weeks after Paul Bracq got back to Bordeaux, France that I had design renderings on my desk. And so I got started on the project. One year later the BENZOMINO was finished and my wife, Ruth and I drove the car with an M-100 engine test set-up to Charleston, South Carolina. Specifics: * Two-tone color scheme - metallic blue and metallic silver * Parchment leather interior * Parchment carpeting * Parchment floor mats * Burl walnut wood trim * White steering wheel * Becker Mexico cassette player with 10 disc player * 255 x 70 x 15 wheel and tire package * 3" white walls * Original hubcaps * Stainless Steel Exhaust System * Detailed engine compartment with polished intake and valve covers * Serviced fuel injection pump and cold start valves, alternators, hydr. pump, air bags and air valves * A special lifting boom has been installed to lift 1,000 lbs easily, like a 6.3 liter M-100 engine * Manuals, tools, jack and spare wheel with hubcap Paul Bracq personally critiqued the design in Charleston, SC during an M-100 Lode Star Fest and it inspired a 2nd car to be built - the EL BENZO. |
