you might be right, when I mentioned ( in a whisper ) the word "sell" he said he would not sell to just anyone, but someone that appreciates the cars , he had a lot of time and effort invested in them to let them go . I guess I gotta win his respect.

AMG parts cache discovered (many pic's)

To see the actual pic's I took, of them, you may have to register on benzworld.


But they are real, and still exist in time warp condition, with the parts. I have known the man that has them since 1985, near San Francisco...


There are two threads with pictures, that I took last year and this year on separate visits.

Aside from the benzworld posts, they have never been seen on the internet before, because their owner does not like computers.


There could be some other AMG W123 parts in there, besides the springs and W123 euro tail lights (new gray market euro take offs) that I verified, and saw, actually. Maybe some other ones, that would fit, (AMG ones, that is). Lots of brand new AMG wheels in their AMG boxes, untouched and not even inventoried yet.


First visit with camera.

2nd visit with camera. (This time I did verify some W123 AMG springs, brand new ones. And W123 euro headlights and tail lights too ..see actual pic's of them, hereinbelow)
