1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 AMG Is Bad to the Bone



If you’re the type who likes a little bit more flare and performance packed into your late ‘80s Benzos, then this 1989 Black Pearl 560 SEL AMG is well worth the look.

Looks like an imported model from Japan? Never knew the Germans would have Japanese writing stamped on specs and maintenance decal?🙃
Looks like a very Bad Boy though....

Oh, hell yeah; still looks awesome! Not to mention, reruns aside, I keep getting flashbacks of some illicit Miami Vice drug deal goin' down @ some secluded warehouse on South Beach. The favorite sedan of every Miami Vice wholesale drug trafficker swimming in cash.

Generally unaffordable to most of us during that time period, but look at AMG now. Done gone relatively mainstream in 2016....hell, we even have Junior Varsity AMG 43s.

Who knew?
