Out of curiosity, do you know what engine modifications were performed by AMG?

Now this guy knows his stuff. Much like a Porsche 935, built way back in the 80's, this car isn't worth squat.

You do realize what it is he listed for sale, don't you? There are plenty of collectors and enthusiasts that would match any reasonable price. The W126 coupe -- even without the additional and rare AMG modifications* -- is regarded by many as one of the finest automobiles ever built by Daimler-Benz. When it's maintained properly, each component is absolutely bulletproof, even decades later. It definitely isn't the throwaway car you're suggesting it is.

* AMG modifications weren't readily available in the 1980s, as the company had not yet become a Mercedes-Benz subsidiary. That wouldn't happen until the mid-1990s. They were a largely independent customizer; hence, their modifications were truly rare and very special, especially in the United States. You didn't just pick up a "stock E55" from your local showroom in 1987.

That kid needs to get back in his c class go away.

I don't know what that car is worth but I would *guess* $20k-$30k and maybe more.

Beautiful 560 SEC AMG! This car is worth far more than $5k! I have seen a couple bring $15-35K on eBay.
