1982 500 Sel Amg, Can't Find Parts

[gungfurob]

I Can't Find Parts Because No One Has A Listing For That Car. Perhaps A Vin Code Could Tell Me, But I Can Only Find Out That It Was Made In Germany And That Says It Was Built In 79 And Is Gas And Has Seat Belts. Did Amg Do Anything To The Engines In Those Cars ?
If Not Then I'll Just Change The Engine, But It Seemed Very Fast When I Drove It Home Running On A Few Cylinders Due To Blown Head Gaskets. Does Anyone Know How I Can Find Out More About This Car?
It Says Amg On The Steering Wheel And Has Amg Wheels But Thats The Only Indication I Can Find.
Besides Smoking The Tires On Only A Few Cylinders. Thank You , Robert (gungfurob)

do you have a vin or chassis number? i am in san diego as well, i could look at it if you want see what i think

Wdb12603712014585 Is The Vin

according to the vin, it has engine number 117.963 12 001477
and trans 722.311 02 133701
and it is a 126 chassis, and i think all of them were made after 1980? europe may have different year releases than we did here. it would be nice to see it to see if it is indeed an amg, some put body kits on and concidered that amg, if it is a genuine article, they would have modified engine, body, suspension and lots more.
