Mercedes 190 with Toyota Yaris Motor
I am scratching my head on this one. 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 rusting in their backyard and their brand new Yaris was totaled. The individual who wrote up the eBay listing didn’t seem to indicate this was a replica/kit and claims it’s estimated market value to be $80,000.
Either way you have a 1959 Mercedes 190 shell with a 2009 Toyota Yaris drivetrain. Which means this is a front wheel drive car.
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.
