Up for sale is a wide body 1988 Mercedes 560sec AMG.  I acquired this car recently in payment of a debt and don't know a lot about it. I do, however, know that the body on this car is extremely rare and I have never seen another car like it in my life.  I will do my best to provide as much information as possible, and can try to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability. I cannot validate whether or not this is a genuine AMG Mercedes, or weather or not the body on it is original AMG. I know of no way to find this out, and it is the buyers responsibility to do all research on this issue before purchase.

The car has a clean Ohio title. The instrument cluster was missing when I received the car, so I inserted a spare that I had from another car, but it is not the original cluster, and it has over 200k on the odometer, as seen in the pictures.

The body/frame/chassis is what is being sold here.  In no way should somebody think they are buying a car that is drivable.  This car has no engine or transmission, or much of anything left in the engine bay.  It is bare, but very clean.  The interior seems to have been mostly removed at some point, as there are several loose pieces of interior trim. It seems like it is all there, but again, items like the dash, console, carpets, etc. are not secured in place fully.  The trunk has several extra pieces of trim and carpet that will be included. I do not know, unfortunately, why the original engine and transmission, interior, and other parts were removed in the first place. Pictures of anything that seems significant are posted.  If you require specific photos you do not see, please contact me and I will send them to you.

Everything on/in the car is included in the auction and will be sold as-is.  Meaning that every piece of carpet, plastic, etc.  that I have for this car will be included. In addition, the 20" wheels and nearly new tires shown are included so the vehicle can be moved.  They match the body nicely in size and shape, and have a nice deep dish that fits this car perfectly.

The overall quality of the body and paint is very good.  There are a few small imperfections in the rear bumper, and a damaged area about 3 inches long on the passenger front fender, with a hairline crack in the fiberglass in that area extending a bit beyond the damaged area.  The rest of the body is in really nice shape.  The vehicle is in the exact condition I received it in (other than adding a instrument cluster), and will be sold that way.  I haven't the heart or skill for a project like this, or I would already be driving it.

I can try to assist the buyer with loading the vehicle on a trailer, tow truck, shipping truck, etc., but all arrangements must be made by the buyer. Please contact me with any questions or to set up an appointment to inspect it. I should be able to respond to any inquiries within a few hours.  Thanks for looking!

Mercedes celebrates with World Championship edition SL63

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Mercedes has plenty to be celebrating at the moment, having just won the Formula One World Championship in spectacular style – taking the constructors' title by a huge margin and the top two slots in the drivers' standings as well. It almost goes without saying that the German outfit would celebrate with a special edition, and that's just what we're looking at here. Presented at a special celebratory Stars & Cars event in Stuttgart in front of 50,000 jubilant fans, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG World Championship 2014 Collector's Edition is based on Benz's twin-turbo V8-powered roadster but with some choice upgrades. Two versions will be offered: one in black with gold accents (displayed with the Silverstone circuit layout), the other in white with silver accents (and the Hockenheim map). One was designed by Lewis Hamilton, the other by Nico Rosberg. We'll let you sort out which one was done by which, but either way there'll only be 19 examples, each dedicated to a different grand prix circuit in the championship which Mercedes positively dominated – winning all but three, scoring eleven one-two finishes and landing on the podium at each and every one.

Mercedes-AMG developing halo car with new 12-cylinder engine

Thu, Sep 17 2015

The SLS AMG was once the jewel of the Mercedes-Benz performance lineup, a commanding supercar the presence of which could be felt a football field away. The AMG GT has taken that crown with its seductive 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine – a veritable bulldog cloaked in an alluring silhouette. But Mercedes was always clear: this was a Porsche 911-fighter. It was even called a "baby SLS." Now it appears in the world of three-starred performance halo-cars, Mercedes may be playing its own Game of Thrones. To be clear, the GT will remain top dog for some time to come, and that lineup "will expand," we're told. A Black Series is still at least a year or more away, and we could see another model in the AMG GT family beyond that. But a recent conversation with a Mercedes-AMG product planner in Austria revealed that a new halo car is in the works, one that will slot above the GT. It will likely draw power from a new 12-cylinder that's now in development, one that will be mated to an electric motor and battery pack. This ultra-hybrid setup could boast the greatest performance of any Mercedes yet. Crucially, it will have better fuel economy, good enough to justify its existence in an increasingly stringent regulatory environment. As for the new 4.0-liter V-8 in the AMG GT, you can expect to see a lot more of it, starting with the E63 AMG, sometime after the next Mercedes-Benz E-Class launches next year. Related Video:
