Really jonesing for a Mercedes-Benz pickup, but
missed your chance for a G63 6x6, and can't wait for the X-Class? This may be
your opportunity.
In case you can't quite wrap your head around it, what you're looking at is an E-Class that's been stretched
and converted by the specialists at Binz into a pickup.
It's based on a 1999 E280 wagon of the W210
generation, complete with a self-leveling suspension and all the creature
comforts you'd expect of a Mercedes. Only it's been stretched by nearly two and
a half feet, leaving the passenger compartment largely in tact but adding a
pickup bed on the back, all lined in industrial-style diamond plating and with
a railing around the top.
One of only three made, the seller says it retailed
for the equivalent of about US$ 100,000 when new. But with the better part of two
decades and 150,000 miles under its belt, it's now listed for sale at 174,900
krone, or about US$ 25,000. Sounds like a deal to us, but you'll have to go all
the way to Denmark to.
