Eeek !

Power and number of gears are a bit optimistic and rust on the trunk lid corner. The stick on SLR air vent is a nice touch :)

I sent the seller an email last month when it was on EBay. He responded that there are no AMG mechanical upgrades. Just an SL With AMG stuff on it.

I like!

but upon closer inspection... the undercarriage isnt anything special, and that awful spray paint can job on the aux fan and radiator suck! Im also not a fan of painted headlamp doors, or modern emblems on vintage cars (the SL45 part, at least modify an old script).


Otherwise, the seats rock and as much as I hate thoes faux cowl vents, it looks supprisingly good in that location...

For the most part....I likey!
 
I really like the wheels and tires.
I don't think a 73 model would have a 4 speed auto though?
I don't care so much for the more modern seats.Now a pair of period Recaro's...That would be super cool.
Too bad there weren't engine mods done as well.I suspect if there were the price would be 2-3X higher as these engine parts are made of "unobtainium"

At least detail the engine bay. Its almost laughable that they left it looking like that under the hood. Silver powder coated valve covers with a red air cleaner would work.

I like everything except the fake vents and the fact that he didn't use a straight edge to mount the emblems. It would be better blank, IMO.

It's very nicely done. I'd gladly trade my C230 for it. :)

True, but it doesn't look too bad. At least it has proper AMG stuff on it. (Minus the engine:rolleyes:)

Like this? Paint only. Wish it was Powder.

That's a lot of cool for 10k...I wouldn't call that " pimped " by any stretch

Mistress 06-14-2009 07:28 AM
A- I was a crow in my last lifetime so I am naturally attracted to shiny stuff and I think this car nice...

Dee8go 06-14-2009 07:34 AM
That's not my favorite model of SL, but I kinda like that one. Of course, I DO like my cars somewhat pimped out . . . .

300EVO 06-21-2009 12:26 AM
I just like the fact that it "has NO lick fluids" as I generally don't like licking car fluids!:rolleyes:
