In the SL world when AMG was bought by MB, they made some crazy *** R129, one of them being the R129 SL73 AMG, They are extremely rare to find but they do exist, just do a Google search and you'll see what I'm talking about. There was one for sale back in spring but I think it was about 90-100k in Japan, and it had 40,000 kms

Also Renntech did a SL74 with a 7.4 liter displacement from modding the 600s, there was one on sale in FL on Ebay a few months ago, but idk what happened to it.

Also when Pagani Zondas were being made, for the "Zonda S 7.3" (this is after the first "Zonda" which was a 6.0 V12 and the 2nd "Zonda S" which was a 7.0 V12), they took the engine from the SL73 AMG, as the 65 AMGs engines were still being tested at the time

SL 55 and a GT 3000 vr4 Here's my car: http://home.online.no/~ludvs/index.cfm
Vath engine modification

German tuner Vath also has some modding for the sl.

http://www.vaeth.com/en/vehicle-refi...sl-55-amg.html

If you hold the mouse pointer over the V55K and V58K, you'll see what's been done to it.

I remember that when I bought mine in 2009 on mobile.de, I saw 2 of those for sale.
Also a couple of brabus sl 55 which had 550 hk.
