ahh thats great

@TheAMGKit I think what he means (as the new buyer) is that he doesn't plan to re-sell it....

sold but not sold? go on and explain

Thanks everyone, 
Car is not being sold!
Heading to a 2 car collection with a 2018 s65 cabrio.
I’m smoking big joints in this thing, don’t you worry LOL. 

Its shown Sold up there 
So congrats 
I hope its heading to a keeper  
Enough reselling this car 
Its an amazing collectible car 

You don't know when reserve was met unless the seller discloses this, which isn't common. Same as BaT, C&B, etc.

seems that way.. 
do they announce when reserve is off?

@Pizdets4u, congrats on the win! If reserve was not met it would say "Bid To $xxx". 

Was the car sold to me? I didn’t see a reserve met? 

What a race. Where is the car headed?

Congrats 

Where is the reserve? 

If I didn't buy the E500 i would be all over this

This is simply GORGEOUS!! How lovely! Executed so well. Wow. Quick question: what brand of floormats are those? They appear pretty plush/deep pile, like Rolls' lambswool mats. Thanks.

What a beautiful time capsule. I love it.

Those seats are infinitely comfortable as well. Such a great addition.

Good luck to all parties. 

Interesting. A/An (non)-AMG clone completely refinished with non-original interior commands six-figures?  Car is well done no doubt.  A looker.   An M156 would go well here.  I imagine sourcing original AMG motor/exhaust parts of this era would be a difficult journey.  Glad to see our 80’s & 90’s era Benz lines are commanding a spotlight in this generation of ease & EV.

An interior/exterior walkaround video has been added to the listing.  Thank you.

I am in the pro Zebra wood camp. I wouldn't change a thing about this except swap in a cammed, supercharger M156 with long tube headers.

I saw this car in person (and the E500) at Legends of The Autobahn.  As amazing as it looks in the photos, it looks even better in person.  I agree "love / hate" on the wood tone, but regardless, super beautiful car.  Congrats in advance to it's next steward. 

If only some effort had gone into sourcing some actual AMG drivetrain components. 

Is there a video where we can see and hear the car running? 
Also, where is it currently located if we wanted to check it out ?

This is a beautifully done car with some love it/hate it wood treatment (zebra wood style) done.  But the interior and exterior and mechanical work seems very well done (have never seen this car in person, though).  No question the car is a clone WB and has never been purported to be an original AMG car.  IMO, the biggest misstep in the original build was not adding performance to the package.  Lots of eye candy.

@anton28 just have to Google the VIN....

What were the last few sale amounts from the previous auctions besides the BAT sale? 

This car was sold on BaT in 2020 for $245k!

This is one beautifully rebuilt SEC! A walk around & driving video would really promote bidding--love to hear how this machine sounds! Good luck to all!

@TheAMGKit the same car has been for sale 3-4 times? Or another reimagined car in this spec? 

for sale again?  what is this the 4th auction in 2 yrs...come on already...buy it and drive it

Do you mind giving us the name and address of the place that rebuilt this car? I would like to do some work on my pre-merger 560 sel

Wow, the ultimate SEC car is on the market, this is by far the nicest AMG car Ive ever seen. Ill let the community discuss her history, and the amazing price this car has and will sell for. The ultimate SEC being sold on the ultimate MBZ site, good luck to all !

This is the best c126 I've ever seen. Very jealous of the winning bid. 

@thembmarket That makes sense. The photos turned out perfect and both cars will bring BIG money, sadly out of my price range

@Jrad1600 We had both cars shipped to the same location in California for Legends of the Autobahn prep as well as arranged photo shoots so both listings could be live together while being displayed at Legends tomorrow. 

AMAZING car. I'm a bit curious as to how this is from a different seller than the E500 that went live today. Both cars have pictures in the exact same location, but this car is in LA and the E500 is in AZ?

Ok - just wow!
