AMG badge on a 380SL

[Botnst]

On a recent visit to my mechanic I saw a nice looking 380SL with an AMG badge. I don't know what year the SL was but if I remember correctly the 380 was only out a couple of years in the mid-1980's, which seems old for an AMG car -- but whadda I know? That's why Im here.

The mechanic was busy on a bill payment so he just said that the engine was modified to give it a lot more acceleration and that the suspension was quite different. All I could see was a rear spoiler, big tires and a sort of cadmium-colored wheels that looked like fake spokes.

Didn't look inside, sorry.

I'm just looking for comments, the owner apparently likes the car a lot because it sure is shiny and ding-free.
