Mercedes-Benz AMG C8 GTR Streetable Legal Road Race Car

Mercedes-Benz AMG C8 GTR streetable / legal, road race car with thoughts of running the LeMans, Sauber, Autobahn. This concept is inspired by the C8, C9, C11, Mercedes Benz road race cars. It starts right up with these, has all the features of the modern cars, horn, heat, wiper, lights all functional. It steers with ease, all the wait is in the rear the car. This car is about 6 to 8 inches wider than your average car which makes it very easy to handle around the terns. It has independent suspension all the way around a V8 SBC 350 engine mated to a heavy-duty 6 rib 4 speed transmission with four wheel disc breaks, It has Gold Wing doors a Full Tilt rear body For accessing the engine compartment. A hood that opens in front to access the master cylinder and the aluminum radiator this is a one-off build both Frame and Body as you can see in the picture’s. I am 5.9 tall 250lbs so I would say it fits a big guy if needed with room to spare. It has some real nice auto meter gauges fitted into carbon fiber panels with a carbon fiber steering wheel and shifter knob to match. A nice up-to-date stereo that you can play music off your phone if you like, with a 3-point roll bar behind the seats also the seats are custom made black outer with alligator in the center diamond plated it has nerf bars on the rear with a fairly quiet exhaust system. I would say this car draws more attention than any car I have ever owned and I’ve had my share of wicked rides. This build is quite a few steps above average the picture show almost everything this car runs on pump gas 89 to 93 otc.

Modern-day automobiles are complex machines, so it’s always thrilling to see homemade creations. They’re not always the prettiest to the masses, but cars are built with love. One that’s for sale is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, the builder taking inspiration from the Mercedes Sauber C8, C9, and C11 race cars from the 1980s and 1990s. The final result is a wild machine that packs a mid-engine Chevy V8 and gullwing doors.
 

The seller calls it a 2011 Mercedes-Benz AMG C8 GTR, though it doesn’t share many resemblances to a Mercedes. However, you can see how the build reimagines those classic race cars. The car’s profile has a similar swooping appearance, with the low front arching over the front wheel and then shopping into a Corvette-like rear shape. The build is like a race car in that it’s mid-engined. A bulbous engine cover shows the engine underneath, while a small spoiler sits on the rear of the vehicle.
 

Under the hood is a Chevy 350 V8 that pairs with a four-speed manual gearbox. The ad lists no stats, but the engine sports an Edelbrock carburetor fed by a 25-gallon fuel tank, a hi-flow water pump, a GM HEI distributor, and more. A pair of Cherry Bomb mufflers with chrome tiles provide the exhaust note with chrome. Stopping power comes from four-wheel disc brakes. The seller is asking $75,000 for the build, though they are open to trades.
 
Inside, Autometer gauges sit in a carbon-fiber dash. The lightweight material is also used for the steering wheel and shift knob. Its bare-bones appearance isn’t without some amenities. It has heat, a Bluetooth stereo system, and cabin ventilation. The seller says the car is “legal,” and photos show it with a license plate. It has working wipers and functional lights. The horn works, too. It’s not a build that will please everyone, but most people don’t make an effort to build their own cars, either.
