Antti Rahko has designed an amazing limo, called the 'Mercedes 300 Turbodiesel Limousine,' completely from junk and it is up for auction on eBay for a whopping $950,000.
The Mercedes 300 Turbodiesel Limousine consists of two bodies of Mercedes welded together along with parts from 40 different cars. The junk beauty weighs more than 3,000 kg and has a seating capacity for ten people. What's more, it took ten years to give a shape to the 29-foot long Mercedes 300 Turbodiesel Limousine.
The car has won the 'People's Choice Award' Art Car in Florida twice.
