Classic Mercedes-Benz 280D gets crazy with blown small block Chevy

We've all seen and heard about classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles that simply refuse to die, as these tough yet smooth sedans were built to last and have spawned a cult-like following around the world. If you are a Mercedes fan who thinks you've seen it all... prepare to be shocked by this Benz from down under.

This wild project car is anything but subtle, packing a blown small block V8 that will wake up the neighbours (and possibly rock the whole block) at the stomp of its throttle! This brutish Benz is armed with enough power to take down the entire AMG line-up and we love that someone was crazy enough to build it.
