This is definitely a crazy build! A 1956 Mercedes pickup of Morne Greeff and his company Mo’s Restorations (Moshinz) in South Africa. The body comes from a the 1956 Mercedes 180D “Ponton” (W120) sedan converted to a pickup when it was imported to South Africa in the 50’s. Morne literally put the shell of the 1956 pickup over a Mercedes A 45 AMG (W176) chassis and powertrain! That means in the engine bay is a turbocharged 2.0L M270 inline-four making 376HP (280 kW) and 475Nm of torque. This makes a 4WD Pickup that puts down is power through a AMG Speedshift seven-speed DCT.

It rides on an AMG sports suspension and 350×32 front brakes and 330×22 rear brakes. Covering those are widened Mercedes 18-inch steel wheels with classic hubcaps. Morne even retained the A45 interior including the steering wheel with paddle shifters, leather seats, door cards, and power windows! Crazy right?!
