look at this ebay auction. seems fake. did AMG make 300TE?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300te-AMG-4-matic-4-wheel-drive-7-passenger-CA-Car_W0QQitemZ4614630725QQcategoryZ6330QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

the only amg modification I can see is the badge..

Indeed campare it to a type R sticker for a jap car

it has the rear lid badge, the one on the front near the headlight, and the one on the center console wood. i think it is definately fake

Yes, AMG did do some W124 wagons but this is not one of them... definitely not.

seems logical

Carson, I believe they did. IIRC it was known as The Hammer. Someone on these forums have replicated one and posted pics too boot (either replicated or restored, can't recalled the details at the moment).

Non illegitemae carborundum.

Yes, AMG did a produce a W124 wagon. It was never officially imported to the USA.

The magazine, "Mercedes Enthusiast" out of the UK, did an article on them, as well as the other AMG modified W124.

In short, AMG took the 3.6-liter M104 and stuffed them into the sedan, coupe, wagon, and convertible, along with suspension and brake changes. 99.99% of them were automatic, between 1993-1996. The Mercedes EPC also shows that AMG did 3.2 and 3.4 engines into the W124, but I haven't seen any in a wagon, just the sedan or coupe.

I needed a new engine on my wagon, so I located a 3.6-liter M104 from a 1995 C36, and transferred the entire drivetrain (engine, transmission, differential, computers, etc.). I also upgraded the suspension to 500E components for everday driving, and Sportline components for the track/autox, and 500E calipers all around, along with the master-cylinder and dual-diaphragm booster for the 500E.

A 1993+ facelift completes the package, along with a Brabus front & rear spoilers, and Brabus muffler.

I have a 5-speed MANUAL tranny waiting to be installed . . .

:-) neil

All this time I had an AMG mod of my own and didn't know it... the badge must have fallen off ;=)

AMG W124 wagon was called E36. 3.6L M104

Today's (in Europe) V-6 E320CDI (diesel) W211 wagon equals it for performance.
