That is a video I have watched countless times. Hate me if you want :wink, but I love what they did with that SEC. Before I sold my own 560SEC (because I am moving to China) I had thought about doing something like you see in that video down the road. I would never do it with a low low miles example, but something over 100k, yeah, why not make is your own?
Question is, who in the U.S. could pull something like that off? I actually talked to three local and semi-local places here in Eastern North Carolina and they all admitted they had never touched an older Benz. Some Beamers, but they were mostly American car guys.
One can only imagine how insanely expensive a job like this would be, but the luxurious feel would be killer. Only doable on a car one intends to truly KEEP. When I return from China I am seriously going to consider this. Once I find another SEC, that is.
