Hello MBWorld, my name is Matthew and I am from eastern Canada. Just wanted to introduce my self and my new ride.

I have been in love with Mercedes ever since I was a boy, especially AMG cars, but never owned one. After owning my share of Audi's, BMW's, and domestics, it was time to step it up. I was in the market for an E50(I do a lot of importing from overseas), when I came across what appeared to be a true W210 E60, it was up for auction within a few hours of me noticing it, so I did not have much time for research. To make a long story short I bought it.

It is a 97, which means I cannot import it to Canada for another full year, but it will be stored at a friends lot in the mean time.

I am waiting on a lot of pictures, should have them by tomorrow, but here are a couple.

My question to all of you is, how can I verify that it is the real deal???

 

it looks like it could use some cleaning, but welcome! It looks to be a real E60 as the fenders are flared.

 

Why is the "60" so much bigger than the "E" was this a part of the design?

 

I don't think it a "true" AMG. I believe its an an E55 that somenone had bored out to 6.0 liters and/or slapped with a supercharger. Not a true AMG, but if done correctly I'd want one any way!

 

I also noticed this. The trunk was replaced on this car, I will not know why until we receive the service records.

 

Well its most definitely not an E55. After looking up the VIN, it does have code 957 - AMG - ENGENEERING PACKAGE, so I would assume that it is a true AMG.

I am still waiting on more pictures, but I am almost sure it is the the real deal. It does however need a bit of TLC.
