Hmm, seems legit. I need more pics though just to confirm. That may just be an E320 with AMG kit and badges....

I emailed the guy, he says its a 3.6. I wouldnt have even cared otherwise. I would be all over it, but I have to get rid of 2 cars before i could afford it. Too bad it isnt the stick shift though.

Then you have another run of the mill lame-a$s C class, and this has an extra 500 RPMs. Its pretty easy to get a car from canada, like 1 letter, then the same stuff as any car, hell its not any worse than registering a car from another state. Besides, in a few years I'm sure these things will be pretty collectable. Pre mass produced ho-hum AMG's are actually cool. Even by current standards this thing puts down nice HP based on the engine.

Says the car is a 1990, but the interior looks a bit older than that.....specifically the climate control system.

Look at the beginning of the VIN (124051) denotes the 300CE from 1990-1992with the 3.0 engine fitted as standard. True, AMG could have done all the engine, suspension, exhaust and other mods to it.....but the modern AMG badge? Exhaust looks odd as does the trunk wing. Then there's the "updated" 1994+ hood/lights.

More pics are needed. Engine, engine number with AMG stamp, gauges and build plate before I would consider purchase.

Good luck!

No clue...

Look at the front and rear license plate holder spaces (euro, front) and (non-euro, rear)......interesting.

Have to agree with most. Car does not look legit. Won't believe it unless I see the engine compartment.

first tip off that its not real... simple.

1. The wing is not an AMG wing. as far as I can tell.
2. the exhaust would never be done that way from AMG. tips are simple weld on tips.
3. No rear AMG bumper, and probably no side skirts.
4. no pictures of the engine.

I would say that this is not the real deal. maybe the owner was told it was a 3.6 from who he bought it form, and just believes it to this day.

If it was real, one would post more than 3 crappy pics, one would post pics of the engine, sides, etc, and even post information regarding the engine badging which will have an HWA part number stamped on the engine somewhere.

I would make this a 300ce with AMG front spoiler, and 94-95 hood and lights.

My car is not a real AMG, nor would I call it an AMG. it looks like one, but mechanically it is far from it, and I don;t claim it to be what it is not, this car from what it seems, the guy is claiming it is this and that, but can;t provide any proff other than his word.
