W124 AMG rear Spoilers - authentic
AMG was in the US in the 80s/Early 90s. A guy named Richard Buxbaum had AMG North America on 233 West Ogden in Westmont, it was behind a Goodyear dealership as I recall. In fact Buxbaum pretty much started the AMG brand in the USA. Feyhl, of RENNtech, use to work for him in Chicago. Around the time M-B bought AMG Feyhl started RENNtech. Bill Taylor at Richmond Mercedes bought all the old AMG NA stock years ago off of Buxbaum.
There was also an AMG dealer called Performance Group International at 2310 Skokie Valley Road in Highland Park, Illinois in the late 80s.
A rear spoiler with AMG molded in was available, it was used on the Hammers and early W124 cars. Somewhere in storage I have one I think.
There was also a "wing" type spoiler that used a 3rd light off of some Mazda car of the period as I recall.
Only later, after M-B bought the name, did AMG go to a different style of logo.
There was also 8 different types of wheels in various sizes to be had. From 8.0 X 16 to 10.0 X 16 and various 17 inch ones. The wheel listed for the Hammer is a "8.0 X 17 Aero, Chrome, Signal Red Trim."
Kind Regards,

I decided to create this thread, so we can post everything and anything about W124 AMG spoilers.
I was digging around at my friend / mechanic's Mercedes-Benz junk yard, and came across a W124 with an authentic AMG rear wing spoiler. This one doesn't have the 3rd Brake Light, instead it has the old-school AMG logo on it.
I asked if I could pull it off the car, and he said sure, you can keep it too.
So I pulled it off, and got it for free. The bottom of it still has shiny paint, but the top has been sunburned pretty bad. It has the AMG embossed stuff and even says it's made for the W124. So I took it to PHIL THEARLE'S AUTOWERKS to get it prepped and painted original color. He's charging me $150 to restore to new. I'll post pics up once it's done next week.
I just thought it was a neat find, and wanted to know if anyone has more history / information about this W124 AMG spoiler.
I've searched the W124 forum using keywords "AMG" & "spoiler", but none of the threads have pictures anymore, because photobucket or image-shack accounts no longer work. That's what I hate about forum pages with dead-links, specially to pictures.

Nice find, I found one on ebay really cheap but it needed the end caps. No one wanted to sell me the end caps so i just choped it up and molded it somehow...

hmmmm, not sure what you mean by end caps.
This is all one piece... like a big wing spoiler. It looks like the ones on the old W201/W202 DTM cars.
I wish I would of taken a photo of it, before I sent it off to be painted....
I should get it back on Wednesday hopefully.
in the meantime, can you guys post up pictures of W124 AMG spoilers here....

I had a wing just like that on my W201, bought it on Ebay.de and had it shipped over from Germany. Back in the day, you could buy these and either run them wih the AMG "plug" in place, or cut the plug out and install a 3rd brake light.

all i meant was that when you have them for sale, they get sold with the quickness, therefore, you're good at selling spoilers. why, what did you think i meant, that perhaps i still hold a grudge?!?
don't worry, we don't practice guanxi on the forums...

ok,
got the AMG wing back today from PHILIP THEARLE'S AUTOWERKS
they did an awesome restoration (paintwork) job...
here are the pics on the "WWW.mbworld.org" server:
AMG center-piece logo:
and here's the AMG stamp on the underside of the wing:
This is going up on my garage wall as an art-deco piece.
Until someday, I get a real AMG W124 that needs a new wing !

make sure to log on to all 3 MBWorld url addresses.
It's an IT thing that I don't understand. Maybe the ADMINS can fix this once and for all.
If you are logged on to https://mbworld.org/
then you can't see pictures that were posted on
https://mbworld.org
and vice versa.
So, just substitute the "forum" with "www" and hit refresh.
It may ask you to log on again. Go ahead and log on again.
Then go back, and replace "www" with "forum" again, and refresh.
Now you should see all MBWorld hosted photos, since your now technically logged on to both sites.
Don't ask me, but it works.

300TE / 300E / 300CE
fit's all 4 door sedans: 260E, 300E, 400E, 500E, E300. Used, removed from car, has scratches but overall in nice condition, left corner was cracked but repaired. Will need minor body work, bonding to car, and paint. Has an AMG badge on the left and star in the center.
here are the pics, so they don't get lost:

Removing it was PITA. The spoiler is high density foam. I cracked one of the end caps before realizing how fragile it is and that I had to cut all the glue to remove it. I used a thin sawblade and lots of wood tongue depressors to shim it up to cut the glue between it and the body. It's a good thing I didn't care about saving the trunk lid as it got scratched up...
