Is it the Mercedes 300 "SLS" developed  from a 300SL and raced in the USA by Paul O'Shea?

Oh dear! Sorry! You meant with 'Thoroughbred', 'Thoroughbred Coach Builders of Florida'. I read 'thoroughbred' as an English word.

So I have to correct my previous answer:

Not Mercedes 300 SLR replica by 'Thoroughbred Coach Builders'

Based on a 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL, built some time around 1985 I'd say.
