Beautiful ride! Scored by a guy who knows EXACTLY what he is getting.
It's REALLY rare to find one with that much documentation and history going to such a worthy custodian of the car.

It was *very* wise to jump on this one. A lot of research and a little bit of luck. Like with your 280, sometimes it's just wise to go for it, when you are certain of what you are getting.

A geared for performance, mint, low mile, unwrecked 107 manual 500 is the holy grail, this is the best of the best. Knowledgeable will SL owners will bleed with envy. This one is so good, that you could make a credible argument that it's an investment, I would say.

You've very quickly acquired a wonderful stable of unarguably authentic vintage original AMG gems.

I would like to see the dyno figures for this one.
