This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E 3.4 AMG was ordered in Germany from the Stuttgart branch and received modifications from then-independent tuning house AMG including a complete Gen 1 Hammer body kit, wheels, suspension, gauge cluster, exhaust and 3.4L engine modifications. Finished in a rare factory Pearl Grey Metallic (122) over Black Patterned Fabric (071), power is provided by a bored and stroked 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six mated to a 5-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The car has been inspected and certified by Mr. Melcher, original founder of AMG, as an original car with a signed certificate. Extensive service in 2022 during recommissioning included all fresh fluids, filters, spark plugs, fuel pump, tires, underbody dry ice, and more. Factory equipment includes sport seats both front and rear, a sport design 390mm steering wheel and leather gear shift, sunroof, and automatic limited slip differential. Now showing 176k km (~110k miles), this 300E 3.4 AMG is offered for sale by the selling dealer with recent restoration records totalling over €35k, Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean German title.

The car received AMG bodywork shared with the 6.0 Hammer which includes a Gen 1 sculpted front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper and a three-piece trunk spoiler. The body kit shows original AMG stamps with pictures in the gallery. The bodywork is finished in Pearl Grey Metallic (122) with a paint-matched grille and side molding. Exterior equipment includes front fog lights, a power-adjustable passenger door mirror, a power tilt/slide sunroof, an automatic antenna, central locking and a dual-exit AMG exhaust. In 2022, the car was professionally repainted in its original factory Pearl Grey Metallic and the body is reported to be in excellent condition with no imperfections.

The original 17” AMG Aero I wheels have been recently refinished and show in excellent condition with original AMG flat center caps. A set of Dunlop Sport Maxx tires which measure 235/45 on all four corners were mounted in 2022. A spare tire is fitted in the trunk along with the factory tool kit and jack. The original AMG full exhaust was defect and has been completely refurbished by a specialist with high quality materials, and is pictured with correct stamps under the car.

The factory-optioned front and rear sport seats are trimmed in Black Patterned Fabric (071) with matching doorcards and headrests. Polished Burl Walnut wood trim adorns the center console, doors, and dashboard, and was refinished during the restoration. Interior appointments include a fire extinguisher, Sport Design 390mm steering wheel, climate control, retractable rear headrests and a Becker Mexico 2000 radio. The manual gear shift is covered in leather and shows the shift pattern engraved on top. The dashboard is in excellent condition and the headliner has been replaced. 

The 390mm sport steering wheel fronts an AMG-specific gauge cluster with a central 280-km/h speedometer along with an 8k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 176k km from new, approximately 110k miles.

The 3.0-liter M104 inline-six was bored and stroked to 3.4 liters by AMG in Germany and fitted with custom AMG camshafts which help the engine produce 268 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed Getrag manual transmission. Extensive service in 2022 during recommissioning included all fresh fluids, filters, spark plugs, fuel pump, tires, a rebuild of both front and rear axles with new suspension parts, and underbody dry ice. AMG stickers denoting the engine modifications are found on the valve cover and radiator support. The original rear AMG muffler has been fully reconditioned by a specialist and maintains original stampings. Underbody photos provided by the seller show no signs of leaks or corrosion.

The car comes with partial service records totalling over €35k during the last two-year recommission. An official signed letter from Mr. Melcher, original founder of AMG, accompanies the car certifying the authenticity of this premerger AMG. Originally ordered from the Stuttgart branch in Germany, the engine block shows the "AMG 3.4 024" stamping on the bottom. 

A video below shows a cold start of the AMG as well as footage of Mr. Melcher after authenticating the car as a real premerger AMG Germany car at MKB in April 2024.
