VIN Lookup on a 1994 SL600 ?AMG?

It is claimed to be an AMG, and it has the rims, but I am curious if it really an AMG or not.

The VIN is WDBFA76E2RF096953.

I am really interested in purchasing this vehicle, so the more information I could get on it, the better.

I tried going to the Russian site and https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/home.jsp, but couldn't get either to work.

Thanks!

Try taking the VIN to your local dealer. They can do a Master Inquiry and tell you if it was an original AMG. You're wise for asking - rims alone do not make an AMG.
Cheers,
Jeff
