WTB: W126 SEC AMG (long shot I know)

I know it's a long shot, but i've been looking for years so I figured I would join this forum and give it a try.
So heres the " wish list"
A 500 or 560 SEC from 1984 to 1991. I know AMG was an independent tuner back then, so I am looking for one with what we now would call the "sport pack." AMG Bodykit, Pentas or BBS rs wheels, sport suspension (dreaming right?), full color treatment. The SOHC engine is fine, due to reliability issues I hear with the DOHC one.


That being said, I do have a pulse, and a wide body SEC with DOHC..... Can't say no to that!

Do you want a Euro Car or US Car?

Gen 1 or 2?

Have you checked eBay, as several are for sale and there are a bunch on AutoTrader as well.

A genuine widebody AMG with the DOHC engine will set you back a cool $30-$35K

Well to be specific.

A Gen 1 euro with SOHC engine with 2 row timing chain conversion.

I would love a gen 2 euro (maybe 1989-91) with SOHC but understand the is very rare due to the federalization/cost issues.

The full on AMG widebody is a dream, but due to running costs and rarity of parts ( ie. 3 piece wheels) its a bit too much for me. Looking to drive the car on a semi-regular basis. (sunny days)
Color would be white with tan interior ideally.

I have looked on ebay and haven's seen anything of late. Do you have any links? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'll post pictures in a new thread in the w126 forum, introduction of the car and me ect to the forum ...but as of right now, my new baby is getting shipped. As a "teaser" i have a few photos from the dealership it was sold at.

p.s I'll look in the stickies, but how do you post the pictures in the text box, as opposed to attachments?

560 SEC AMG Clone
I am not sure how I missed this thread, but glad I found it. These must be photos from the old SEC coupe site. I would love to have a GTG of this magnitude in the near future.
