You know, with the Grille swapped for an OEM one and the chrome thingers taken off the trunk, the car wouldn't look half bad.

The clothtop is in horrible shape however.

I think the car has some interesting and unique touches, but is executed poorly.

Well it is a 124, so there is always potential.

Buy it.

Great MB and AMG build quality!

Ask seller for pictures of the V8, carefully shoehorned into the engine compartment.

Saijinny - note the sarcasm

Luv it, luv it, luv it.....especially the trunk treatment...

Great looking Merc ( more like Mercury )

"Hanz" the German mechanic much like Dr. Frankenstein, must be proud of his creation..." It Lives "

One can only dream of cruising with the top down, chrome glistening on a warm summer night.....:

I'm waiting for the first-time-poster who comes on here asking for advice after he's bought it .

We could ask 2Phast to run the VIN to check for AMG options.

Beverly Hills, or North Hollywood AMG Distributor???

Love the chrome "shark's teeth" on the trunk!

Maybe "Hanz" built U-boats?

Picture added. Likely a fake, different image size/compression quality, and source.

Yes, but even a student like you can afford this.
Oops, no! Bid just went up to $152.50. Dang!!

Engine pic is similar to the very tight shot of the rear tonneau cover.

Lol, I'd rather not. I've gotten some nice, new toys for Bucky and I think he'll be sticking around until such a time as the engine/transmission decide to **** out.

Hmmmm,

AMG V8, 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, blows away Mustangs...

Someone should scoop it for an engine swap!

Engine compartment shown in the new photo is from a W140. I asked the seller to post a photo of the actual engine compartment. I bet there's an M103 under the hood. Probably a 2.6L, lol...

C'mon Dave, not crazy, just a very crafty and sophisticated con-artist

he very carefully took a shot of a stowed convertible top from another car too.

The DMV lists the car with 75K miles in 1995.

Did you look at his eBay history?

Sells cheap junk that's not working and he buys video gear. I'm nearly certain these pictures are faked somehow. Hmmmm...

Yeah, I spotted the ragtop photo as a fake too, but I'm more interested with what's under the hood. He makes a big deal over the V8 conversion but I'm not convinced there's anything non-stock under the hood. The convertible top, well, yeah that's just deceptive, but not a flat-out lie. I don't think you could pay me to take this car. It's way past any hope of resurrection. At least it wasn't something rare or valuable!

The blue seats, mismatched door panels, and white dash look phenomenal together.
He's got that interior decked out
