1929 MERCEDES BENZ SSK ROADSTER
Replica kit car
by
CMC (Classic Motor Carriages)
of
Miami, FL
This car was built in 1985 (Builder unknown).
The vast majority of the kit components,
fiber glass body parts
and the welded
square tube frame
were all supplied by CMC.
The engine is a 1974 Ford 2.3 L140 SOHC,
it also has a Ford C3 auto transmission,
driveshaft & differential, all possibly
from the same donor car.
The rack and pinion front end with disc
brakes is a mid 70’s
Ford Mustang II assembly.
These kit cars are to me a great piece of American automotive history.
Besides being a real head turner, it is a really fun car to drive!
