This can't be real.. is it?

This is not a w126.. but an S600 w140. Read the "features" of this car. Is this a movie prop car... or someone actually did that?[:0]

Either way... this car takes the cake for the title of being most "MAFIA"

Looks pretty real to me, but i don't know about the "machine gun." Is that legal? [:0]

RE: This can't be real.. is it?

hm...looks real enough to me. but the fit/work is a little bit shoddy for "$350,000 OF GADGETS AND GOODIES".

i remember a company in the US that built these systems, my friend had a suburban outfitted like this, but he lived in el salvador and actually needed it.

RE: This can't be real.. is it?

I've seen car companies online do it, but they have done it seemlessly with a helluva lot more fit-and-finish. Airbags should have been kept in place - like there's no other place to hide a gun and pa system - car was probably in some kind of collision with airbag deployment or something.

IMO it's only neat if those systems are there and you can't really tell. That looks like the bridge of the old Battlestar Galactica. We're only missing the cylons now.

RE: This can't be real.. is it?

Cor blimey, now thats one tricked ride! I know that here in New York that if you were discovered with a vehicle that even had these capabilities (notwithstanding if they were actually armed) that you would be looking at legal repercussions. I know that most any district attorney would feel that this was more than enough to establish intent. Not to mention the laws against concealed weapons.

If indeed this vehicle did check out, then you would have to keep the special features on the 'qt' for sure.

RE: This can't be real.. is it?

Those updates/modifications were obviously made when the car was new in 1994. So you cannot expect them to be up to date. That car has technology years ahead of anything I have ever seen in a car that old. Look at the monitors. Those things are as thick as a telephone book!! And that Alpine remote, are you kidding me??
