Legit Hammer Wagon?

I saw this on bring a trailer and it seems pretty interesting. Anyone think it is the real deal? Calling POS...

That engine is definitely the real 32 valve AMG V-8.

Thats a real Hammer Wagon.... One of the more rarer copies, as its got a 32V engine as opposed to the 16V.


IMHO, its overpriced.

Hmmm,,, Looks like an AMG 32V Wagon to me.... I've personally seen a REAL Hammer sedan and the interior is way different than your stock W124. Stitched leather everything, Recaro bucket seats front and rear. Hell, even the headliner was leather.

Most of the so called "Hammers" I've seen are nothing compared to the real one. (Well, other than the 32V heads)

It's real...owner is Aaron Ruskin in LA.
He owns a sedan, coupe and the wagon all 6.0L 32V engines.

The wagon was a Canadian delivery diesel which was then sent to AMG Westmont for the conversion.

If I recall the sedan and coupe were both done by BHMA.

2nd that. Its all about the documentation, which all three of Aaron's cars have. Of course, Aaron is a bit out there with what he believes the value is, but sooner or later he will figure it out.

The auction ended with no bids at his 25k starting price. His sedan at least had one bidder at 25k

Last year I was willing based on the provenance of the sedan...

Things change, market much softer, so his pricing will be harder to obtain.

That's why I decided to build the widebody replica of 1AMG !!!
