So I saw this convertible 300CD, I have seen this one before, barely got a pic this time. And brown. I didn’t know what this SMS 570 was, but:
The SMS 570 Challenger (“570" refers to the car’s 5.7-liter Hemi V-8) begins life as a stock R/T. The car is then dismantled and rebuilt with SMS components at the company’s 150,000-sq.-ft. complex in Corona, California. The most important of these is the SMS 296 Supercharger system, which uses a Lysholm twin-screw compressor along with SMS’s Six-Pack Intercooler System. The last features six finned tubes that Saleen says make the system about 60 percent more efficient than traditional intercoolers. Combined with a cold-air intake and a free-flowing SMS exhaust, the result is 500 bhp at 5700 rpm and 500 lb.-ft. of torque at 3800 from 4.5 psi of boost.
No I couldn’t be bothered to get out and take a better picture. I was carrying groceries on the way to the car.
Oh that’s mine, blatant W123 prons

Yeah, apparently it was done aftermarket like the Sunchaser Toyotas. This might be the exact car here, it’s in Marin, can’t be two brown ones here.

Fascinating.
I somehow doubt that one has a soft top. On the windscreen frame there seems to be no provision for latches or anything like that.
I cannot imagine either how the top would seal against it, if there were one.
It seems Crayford conversions (just found out they also did MBs) were quite professionally done, on the other hand (the top looks pretty good once up).

I could see the top behind the back seats when it passed me, traffic ahead is the only reason I go a pic. No shortage of cash around here. I don’t think the plate was SPY on the car that passed me, so who knows.
