Yes, the donor was a Mercedes-Benz. Now, this was the easy part

Let's give you a little clue: builder is from Dortmund and the family business is still active, but there's no word on this car anywhere on their site.

Was the builder a Mercedes dealer? (like Rose still is!)

No, the guy who built this was involved in, let's say, the auto-parts business. Not a mechanical part, but a part. Today the company, which bears his name is being run by someone else. He's still active in another field.

Another one goes to the Black Hole

any more pics available?
Was the builder active in the tuning scene?

I never heard about this guy, just found this article from 1971...
It says that the guy who built this planned a yearly run of 15 units. I doubt it ever happened

Was Hans Gunther Schmid, of ATS wheels fame, from Dortmund?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #35 on:** January 21, 2010, 12:17:25 AM »

I don't know, but this is not from him.

Is the company 9FF Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH of Dortmund?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #37 on:** August 16, 2010, 12:25:09 PM »

No, it was a rather unknown company, and as I see it, the family is loosely connected to the automotive industry today

This is the 1969 RIBEC, built in Dortmund, powered by a Mercedes Benz 600´s modified engine.
It was supposed to be built in little numbers - obviously it turned out as a one-off...

I´ve found the same pictures in a 1969 "auto motor und sport" magazine:

Wow, very cool! You've found it!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #40 on:** August 18, 2010, 12:25:19 AM »

Congratulations!

There's a small tipo: Walter Ribic built this car, you can find his bio at Ribic Systems.

And you are probably right, Swiss Automobile Revue probably just took over the article from AMS a little late.

Anyhow, two very well deserved points have been added to your tally!

Allemano · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:16:45 AM »

Contacted the Ribic-company in Dortmund. Maybe I get a phone call of Mr. Ribic later...
