1959 Mercedes 190 SL | Heavily Modified by Jellybean AutoCrafters in Canada 

Yeah I know its a 190SL but this guy really did it justice!

Omg. Was loving it until I saw the corvette engine

Jellybean has done some amazing builds. They are one of the half dozen best autocrafters in Canada, IMO.

Thank's for sharing dennis! Love your show!

Performance, car's are made to be improved. The car companies can't be as cost effective by far. It's amazing that they put out what they do.

I love that car it’s very nice looking

WHOLY HELLA METAL!! That thing is SWEET!

Awesome build!!

That is a beautiful car

Beautifully done. My only change would be to dress up the vette motor to look like something Mercedes might have done...

Looks like a replica to me

Oh yes be great for the Sunday drive

cool

Humm! I don't know if I should smile or cry. Definitely, the engine needs a better upgrade; perhaps an LS3. The Corvette engine here may be good for only 200Hp, if lucky

This is a fitting classic....albeit a restomod!👍

Beautiful car My Uncle had one back in the 1970s and 1980s his was red with red interior.

Ok thats different, and still wonderful to look at. Nice find Dennis

Focal speakers

I think he missed the mark a bit on the engine. He should have put together a '59 Chevy mouse motor and maintained its vintage appearance, while updating its performance.

Gang’sta * mid 90’s corvette engine he wouldve been better off with the original 4 banger

Your standard custom car: Corvette engine plus body of your choice....

I have Model scale 1:18 mersedes 190 sl. like

Dennis said "we'll talk" when offered to drive the benz.... thats like sayin no thanks wtf dennis surely your not too busy for a quick ride!

What a shame! This beautiful car should be kept original.

Penticton

Wow Dennis...in Australian...Struth!

Fantastic except for the chrome wheels lol

Period chrome reversed wheels, spider caps and whitewalls could have looked better. They’ll give the car a more period correct hot rod look.

Pretty, but just needs a little more class. The speakers and woofers should be hidden. As should that modern head unit. The wheels themselves look odd on this car. Should have made a new wheel with the same design as the original 13's, just up the size. And the engine; oh man, definitely needed to stay Merc...

I prefer old amercan cars. For example Chevrolet Bel Air. Hemi is beautyful.😁

Getting famous off comments day 185, so I can live the dream, live everyday like it’s your last day🤙

That guy knows how to tastefully modify a car. I bet 9/10 builders would of destroyed the owners “concept” of merging the 190sl & corvette. Thank you sir for not grafting in corvette tail lights or something ridiculous like that. I honestly would rather have this car over a modern SL AMG. Well, On second thought. I’d have both. Lol.

I like the direction they went but they ended up ruining the car's appearance with the modern wheels and interior stereo stupidity. No thoughtful restraint.

I can appreciate an elegant car.. but I can never bring myself to like the massive mercedes emblem. It's gaudy .. just as I never liked the giant vw bus emblem. But I think of the bus as more of a cartoon-ish caricature , so the emblem isn't too bad. But on an elegant classy car, it just doesn't work. Unless you're into advertising your status, or how much money you have, I get it. But that seems douchey, because it appears to show insecurity imo. And it looks like insecurity on the manufacturers pat as well. Like it's worried about not getting enough advertisement.lol. I never liked huge a logo lettering on tailgates, and now giant ones on grills. Instead of it looking like a badge of pride, it looks like you're an idiot, who care more about advertising for a corporation, instead of just appreciating the lines of the car, or the quality. I think it a car is built well, it speaks louder though word of mouth. And has the security to not boast about itself. I know, I went to far.. but it's true. Giant logos are ugly man. I have to wonder if the designers ever wanted to not put the huge emblems on, and if they got heat from the upper management?

Ruined it!
