Rare, fast, beautiful, collectible. Not an ordinary R107, but one of the few European 500sl with AMG package.The car has lowered suspension, cross drilled rotors (I believe also larger brakes). All the side mouldings are new, at a cost of several hundreds. The original moldings are in the trunk, and these were painted the same color of the car, as most AMGs were.The car came from factory with Centra wheels, I bought a new set of penta wheels. Tires are great, 225-60-16, which give the car a nice stance.The soft top is light tan color, in good condition, replaced a few years ago. Plastic windows are clear. I did not have anyone to help me remove the hard top to take pictures.I believe the car has also an AMG differential and other things, but cannot verify it as I don't have the build sheet. The exhaust has a beautiful roar, different from all stock cars, but looks stock underneath. No leaks, rust free, starts at first, runs great, powerful and fast. I believe this car can be driven anywhere, it is very reliable.The tool set is all there. The emergency aid kit is also there, in great condition. The emergency reflecting triangle and jack are like new. Rare, rust free and low mileage R107s will be worth a fortune in the near future. This car is, without a doubt, a great investment for its rarity and condition.You will not find another like this. Nice 107s are being offered at even higher prices than my buy it now, and there is simply no comparison. The VIN does not show up in ebay because it is a Euro number. However, the car is registered and has a clear Florida title in my name. I did a Carfax and the report showed an accident free history.Mercedes EPC catalog show this car has the SA Code 256, Limited Slip Differential, which is very rare. Please note: Car is sold as-is, where-is. No warranties of any kind. There are no refunds or returns, so please make sure you do your research. I recommend you order a pre-purchase inspection at my house. That way you will get an unbiased report from an expert.This is a used, vintage vehicle in great condition, but not new. It is not perfect, and will show minor imperfections consistent with its vintage. On Feb-04-16 at 13:02:00 PST, seller added the following information: I have been asked about the buy it now option. Sorry for this, I had the car listed before with a buy it now, but decided to list it in auction format. If someone makes me an reasonable offer, I can send an offer through eBay, On Feb-09-16 at 14:25:16 PST, seller added the following information: PLEASE READ: I have been asked several questions and want to address them here: 1) There is no way to verify the true origin of these old pre-merger AMG cars. It is my understanding, and I am not an expert, that AMG modified cars and also sold the accessories for shops to do the conversions. There is no registry that I know of that can verify anything. Having said this, please bid on this car as a Euro 500sl with AMG options. I want to be very clear, as I do not want anyone to think I am misrepresenting the car. In a market where regular 560sl and 500sl's in good condition and with low miles are offered for $20K to $30K, I believe this one is more valuable and has more potential to gain more value. 2) The side moldings that were in the car are included. These cars were painted in monochromatic themes, but the rubber side moldings chipped over time and are impossible to refinish. I bought brand new OEM replacements and installed them like that, no paint, as in my opinion they look better.3) The chromed bumpers were also painted in these cars. Over time, even with good primer, the paint peels off. I had the bumpers taken apart and repainted. 4) The leather seems to be all original, re-dyed or painted years ago, looks good.5) I have been asked other questions about the car being show quality. It looks pretty good, but I cannot represent it as perfect. I believe a perfect car is a showroom car. A 2015 car with 15K miles is most likely not a perfect car anymore, so even more a 1985 car with 50K. LAST: If you are considering investing $13K (current bid today) or more, I suggest you hire someone to do a pre-purchase/pre-bid inspection to have the confidence the car is in the condition you expect. OR if you are close or want to come to the warm Florida weather, come in person to see the car. The only condition is that it has to be inspected at my house or office, as I do not have the time to take the car to a shop and wait there. There are plenty of inspectors that can see the car, test drive it, take pictures, and give you an unbiased report. I have done my best to describe the car accurately, but do not take my word for it, it is always better to have a professional inspection. The car is sold as-is, no warranties, no returns. Please only bid if you understand and accept these terms.On Feb-11-16 at 15:16:26 PST, seller added the following information: NOTE: PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO BUY THE CAR. THE NEXT BIDDER WILL REACH THE RESERVE AT $15450
