Everything looks good besides the engine is a SOHC 2V motor not the DOHC 4V. That makes me a little nervous because somebody could have replaced the 2V 6L engine with any other engine and you would have no idea unless you get inside the motor to confirm displacement. Body kit, wheels, interior all look good. Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. Just out of curiosity, is the car still in Japan or is it exported elsewhere already? What's the sellers asking price?
It looks like a „barn find”. I want to do a full detailing, full service and all the things to make it great again. After that we’ll see. Maybe I’ll sell it. Keep an eye for mbmarket and BaT auctions…
You definitely need to confirm the engine is a 6L. You will not get anywhere near what the car is worth unless you can prove the displacement. There are too many of these floating around that have stories or (I'm assuming like this one) that lack any sort of paperwork from AMG. It looks like a great starting point. Please post up some pictures once you get it. I absolutely love these cars and it's great to have another forum member with one. I love my 2V 6L coupe. It's fantastic. The power is so smooth and the rumble from the exhaust just intoxicating. Mercedes really should look back through their history books and build cars like this again. All they make now are comuter banks on wheels that don't even drive that much better than a mid level Chevy.
What you just wrote about modern mb cars is sad truth… I own some old mb cars and they are great.
When 560sel will arrive I’ll post some pictures. And of course I’ll do check of the engine.
Congratulations OP. The car is a real AMG. Coming out of Japan they won’t have replaced the engine as no need for it. No resale market for cars in Japan and those bent eights just don’t fail. Looks rough as so many of them do after being forgotten.
As far as I know, the center console storage is just a preference. I don't know if there's any way of telling what "should" be there (IE what came from the factory).
It’s here. I’m doing the interior work now. Seats, wood, Etc. I ll send pictures on weekend.
Right now I can confirm that the bumpers, side aprons, the steering wheel are all genuine. Don’t know about the engine. Still waiting for my mechanic. I also contacted amg Classic in Germany and in Poland for certification process.
The engine number is the same on the B pillar plate and on the engine stamp. How can an engine number tell if it’s AMG?
my mechanic wants to open the engine to measure the bore. Anyone knows if the gaskets are same like in 5.6 m117? If not first I need to find the right gaskets.
Hello Everyone.
I Took some time but finally I can share the photos of the 560sel. The engine is in the middle of restoration and it looks like....
ITS 6,0 AMG ENGINE !!!
the cylinders are 10cm wide, and the pistions have an engraving "AMG tuning". Its 2V engine. The engine serial number matches with AMG plate on B pillar and Mercedes Benz EPC data card.
The AMG Aero set is genuine - ABS plastic, no fiberglass. Every piece of that set has AMG serial numbers. The alloy wheels are AMG OZ, three piece 17-inch. The steering wheel is M38 Momo. The exhast system has sport manifolds and downpipes with middle muffler and rear muffler which looks ilke AMG - its pretty rusted and it needs a repair. There's also a wood trim set on doors (real wood with
Check out the pictures:
The car is absolutely legit. I already have AMG archive certificate for this car. It’s in the middle of restoration. Engine work, new paint, new lacquer for wood trims, etc.
