A hot rod of the end of the days
This section is about a project car called "Gurthang". Gurthang is 1976 W114 230 ex-hearse from Germany. The car didn't come to me straight from a funeral home, it allready had other non-professional owners.
The most unique part of the hearse is the front of it. The coach builder Rappold made "a facelift" to the car so it looks like the S-class model W116. Some sources say that Rappold made these facelift models only on the basis of short wheelbase, but this one has long wheel base, meaning that it has been built from "lang" (114.008) chassis.
You can find answers to your questions from FAQ, keep the eye on the progressing of the restoration project and take a look at the photos. By the way, the car doesn't really have those cromed wheels - at least not yet. ;)
