Spotted a SL73 tonight :O

So I was crusing to Mississauga tonight from Burlington, (this is in Ontario Canada near Toronto for those of you who are from the states lol). And I see an older SL crusing in the right lane, I get over to check it out and low and behold, I see SL73 AMG on the rear of the car, V12 on the side lower moulding... I nearly dropped my jaw out of it's socket, older guy driving it, had hid's and the badges were plastidipped or at least looked dipped, red. And had two led strips on the front. It's possible it was a fake, looked completely original though other then those to things, had wide what looked like amg monoblocks on it. Just couldn't believe it. Sooo rare! Two rare AMG's side by side. Tried to get a pic but it was way too dark. any who just was excited and thought I'd share

Yeah I remember reading how rare they are, if I ever see it I'll definitely get a pic, it was black too, nothing cooler than a black amg haha.

Thanks gents, I'm slowly getting things done, bags are in the near future . Need some wide wheels as well!

Hope this one wasn't real. Would hate to see one with the LEDs and plasti-dip
