* What does the sticker in the door jamb say next to "IMPORTED BY:"?
* Automatic or manual?
* Stock exhaust or AMG exhaust - the tips look stock, that'd be an indicator.

In 1983, except for individuals bringing AMG cars in themselves, Classic Motors in Chicago was the largest importer. In that year, even the Beverly Hills AMG etal were having Classic Motors bring the cars in, certify them, then roll them out across the country. Anything could be done to the car - a simple body kit, a suspension drop with new springs/shocks, and engine mods which for the r107 was polished/ported heads/intake and a hotter cam.

The door jamb sticker will tell me the most; what does your car have that doesn't look stock? Interior shots and underhood shots would help a bit.
