History This has always been a rust-free California car. I purchased the car about 5 years ago from the 2nd owner, and over time I restored the car. Everything on the car had been completely gone thru prior to the fire. The list of things I did is extensive and it pains me to list everything, but here is a brief summary. I have a 3-ring binder full of receipts (including the original receipt from Barry Taylor Enterprises where the AMG WIDEBODY conversion was done) and I'm sure I'm forgetting some things Exterior *New 040 black paint and body *Newly refurbished AMG 5 spoke road wheels *NOS Lorinser / Sebring muffler *New BFG GForce Sport tires (sized to correct / original AMG spec) Interior *Custom AMG-Style door cards with grey gen2 inserts into black door panels *Completely refinished all wood trim (by Madera Concepts in Goleta, CA) *Refurbished speedometer cluster with genuine gray-face AMG speedometer *Mint black crack-free dash *New headliner *New package tray / hat shelf *New Alpine head unit, new speakers Mechanical *Rebuilt transmission *Installed 2.82 rear differential *Installed OEM Tri-Y headers *Plenty of work was also done on the engine (all by Enrique at MR MB Motors) but with the fire that may or may not mean anything going forward __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ These issues will need to be addressed -- Mechanical -- New wiring harness How much of the engine is salvageable is unknown, but assume everything that bolts on will need to be replaced. It had a strong-running stock 5.0L, now would be a good time to drop in that 5.4L!! Cosmetic -- Most everything from the firewall forward, with the exception of the front bumper, AMG front spoiler and possibly the passenger side widebody fender. It will also need a new windshield. My plan was to buy a gen1 euro parts car, source most of the missing bits, and go from there. But plans have changed... Asking $10K. Reasonable offers will be considered. I am NOT looking to part the car out at this time so PLEASE do not ask. It is in storage, inside, in SoCal if you want to see it in person. However, it's not around the corner from me so I can't take pics of every nook and cranny. The car rolls and stops but doesn't run NOTE: ALL PHOTOS HERE ARE OF THE ACTUAL VEHICLE. *I have included photos of the restoration, including the interior and all the paint and bodywork. *I have included photos of after the restoration, complete interior and exterior. *I have included photos of the fire damage. The car sits as it looks in the fire damage photos, though I have removed the hood for safety. It still is minty from the firewall back The TRUE Euro VIN for this vehicle is WDB12604412000356. eBay will not accept this actual Euro-VIN so I inputted a VIN from a 1988 US-spec 560SEC to complete the listing. Please check my 100% feedback and bid with confidence. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have via eBay, email or you can call me at 818-749-7764
