As found on another site specific to the AMG topic:
Quote:
One of the more costly performance upgrades available from AMG during the 80's was the close ratio five speed Getrag manual transmission. As many are familiar Mercedes did not offer a manual transmission except on European model 280sl and early 350sl but never for the M117 V8.
There are only FOUR known 107 500sl AMG's with AMG installed Getrag five speed manual transmissions currently in the US. If anyone knows of another aside from the following, please post any info you might have available.
1. Owned by an Ohio couple, enjoyed regularly.
2. On the market a few years ago by a collector car dealer in Beverly Hills, asking price $40,000
3. Three owner vehicle and currently owned by a gentleman on the East Coast.
4. Currently in Southern California, enjoyed often.
