That is a sweet little Merc. The only scary thing about it is what Ford stated in their description of exactly what you are buyiing :
" This property was not built to meet any state or other local regulations that would allow it to be registered and licensed as a motor vehicle for use on public roads and such use may violate applicable laws and regulations including those relating to emission requirements and motor vehicle safety standards. The recipient acknowledges that the concept auto show model cannot be certified as compliant with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards applicable to motor vehicles and that it cannot be licensed as a motor vehicle for use on the public roads. This concept auto show model should not be left unattended with its electrical systems operating for extended periods of time "
Which in essence means the car will never be more than a trailer queen. If you can't drive it than all you can do is transport it to shows or simply park it in a garage and admire it.
At least road pigs have the opportunity to be repaired and put back into service for driving pleasure. But a 'concept car' can only be locked away in a shed or museum and stared at. Errmmm... I guess it could be considered an 'investment' because it is a concept car... but you would only ever be able to sell it to another person who plans to stare or ooogle at it ( at least in the US or Canada ).
At least the two trailer queens that Sandy has are drivable by Sandy or anyone that he may sell to in the future. But I would find it very annoying having such a cute car and never being able to drive it legally on the road ( although I did swap my Mustang Cobra's plates on to the McLaren during the initial rebuilding of that car in order to take it to the transmission shop to get a new trannie dropped into it ;)
