Now doesn't that look nice. Probably needs a little TLC but the car looks solid enough.

For about $18k it might be a deal.

I wonder how they by-passed the SRS light by replacing an airbag wheel with an AMG non-airbag one. I did that to my 560 but its got the light lit.

Is the light a hard wired LED or just a removable regular bulb? Maybe they did the obvious.

The original Renntech and AMG mods in these cars all went for nosebleed inducing prices. In this case it's hard to tell what this example has in it.

It's hard to coax extra horsepower out of these, but some can be gotten with enough cash transfusions! Just like the od saying: "How fast do you want to go? How much money do you have?"

The 560 is definately an autobahn cruiser, though, it really comes into its own when you go over 100 mph. It's really engineered to cruise at top speed for as long as you like. It's not just political promises, puysh the pedal down and it'll GO!!!

....Definately a nice looking car though. $18k is a lot for a car that old, but then it's a lot of car with a lot of good miles in it.

"Recently at 90,000 miles the car went to RennTech and another $14K of tuning and service."
