There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes except a cheap pre-merger AMG Mercedes with the M100

Wonder what the Classic Center would get to restore that? $200k?

Might not be that much actually. If this car was mechanically sound, it would be a fantastic buy, would have to find a good parts car for interior bits and the door trim.

Highly doubt that it is an AMG.

Could be wrong though.

it's automatic.

didn't the 6.9 have black valve covers ?

this car has been mentioned here before over the past 2 years. the seller is both persistent and not getting any offers near his asking value. -CTH

VIN indicates a 6.9. That steering wheel is fugly. If it were local and offered at one third the current asking price I might grab it.

83 300D Turbo with manual conversion, early W126 vented front rotors and H4 headlights 400,xxx miles
08 Suzuki GSX-R600 M4 Slip-on 22,xxx miles
88 Jaguar XJS V12 94,xxx miles. Work in progress.

I hope nobody believes those are really racing wheels. They are just from a W124. LOL

Criticism aside and the sellers grandiosity, I'd take it away for scrap price. It really is a cool GEM.

Look at how bad the paint job in the door jamb is.

The AMG 6.9s I've seen claimed in the neighborhood of 375HP, not 500.

It's a 6.9 with an AMG appearance package, which really is not all that uncommon.

Ronal racing magnesium wheels, I wonder what he thinks they are worth, I think I have 20-25 of those RARE WHEELS!
