Anyone ever done this or heard of it being done? How much do you think getting one of these would be?

Mercedes-Benz slk55 Amg Auto Salvage Auctions

The brakes and engine are what I would mainly be after.

Or this one

http://www.salvageautosauction.com/v...exas/id/0/pg/1

it says value 30K and repair cost 20k. Are they just trying to say if you invest 20k then you could sell for 30K? Minimum bid is $200 and bidding ends in 6 days with no bids so far.

 

Click on Actual Cash Value and this comes up.

Sweet looking car.

 

Even for $5K that would be a screaming deal. Good luck if you decide to bid!

 

It would be awesome to have the whole donor car!

Just out of curiousity... Since you already have the SRT why not go for the 5.4L supercharged like the E55 or something????? The 5.4 in the SLK is NA and you already have the plumbing for the supercharger....
