Check out this 1995 C43
So I was browsing my local craigslist and came up with this rare gem. What cracked me up was when he listed "Engine is a AMG inline 6 and is healthy and powerful" and then "4.3 V8". Didn't know they came with both haha

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG + Ultima Can-Am sold)
The 43 was first available in February 1998. I doubt a 95' version could even have been a very early test mule...

Or someone scammed him. Looks like a 97 C230 judging by the bumpers and tail pipes.
Don't be surprised how many people can be fooled by a badge. A friend of mine is constantly picking my brain about AMG's and is interested in buying one. He works at a Ford dealership bodyshop, with presumably a bunch of other "car guys."
He was telling me the other day about a "C class AMG" they were all freaking out about came in for some crash repair. It was "just a couple years old" so I say "C63."
"Nah, it wasn't one of them. It was a C300 AMG."
Turns out, he had spotted it as a total fake and tried to tell the shop guys it's not an AMG. All these older "wiser" car guys "informed" him that he's wrong, it's obviously an AMG, it has the badge, the floor mats, says AMG on the brakes and wheels.
I will never forgive MB for allowing cars to leave the dealership like that. I told him he was right the first time: it was not an AMG, end of story.
