This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E 3.4 AMG was ordered in new Japan as a left-hand drive example and modified by AMG Japan. Finished in Pine Green Metallic (254) over Black Leather (261), power is provided by a bored and stroked 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six mated to a 722.3 four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Additional AMG upgrades include Recaro Classic seats, 17" AMG Aero III wheels, an AMG M38 steernig wheel, AMG suspension, AMG exhaust, and a 300km/h gauge cluster. The car was imported in May 2020 and the seller acquired the car from the original importer in May 2021. Service upon import included all fresh fluids, new tires, engine mounts, transmission mounts, control arms and bump stops. In preparation for the sale, the car received a fresh oil change, air filter, battery, A/C service, and brake fluid flush. Now showing 110k kilometers (~68k miles) from new, this 300E 3.4 AMG is offered for sale with manufacturer's literature, AMG owner's manual, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The bodywork is finished in Pine Green Metallic (254) with all painted chrome including the grille, side molding, and bumper impact strips. Exterior equipment includes Euro-spec headlights with integrated fog lights, a power-adjustable passenger door mirror, Euro front fender turn signals, an automatic antenna, and central locking. No signs of rust are present on the body. Twin AMG exhaust tips are seen exiting the rear. The rear window features a Yanase sticker, a Japanese dealer known for specializing in premerger AMG vehicles, along with an original AMG sticker.
The paint-matched 3-piece 17” AMG Aero III wheels feature original OZ Racing hardware and were resealed in May 2025. BF Goodrich G-Force Comp2 A/S tires are mounted which measure 215/45 up front and 235/45 in the rear. ASR slip control and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are fitted as standard. The AMG suspension includes white springs and Bilstein shocks. New control arms and bump stops were installed in 2021. A brake fluid flush was performed in September 2025.
The interior is upholstered in Black Leather (261) and features front power-adjustable Recaro Classic seats which come with their original literature. Burl Walnut wood trim adorns the center console, gear selector, dashboard, and door panels. Additional interior appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, a power-adjustable passenger side mirror, rear headrests, a trunk mounted CD player, and a Panasonic head unit. The steering wheel has been upgraded with a Momo M38 exclusively for AMG and an AMG plaque is located on the ash tray cover.
The M38 AMG leather steering wheel fronts an AMG-specific white-face gauge cluster with a central 300-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 110k km from new, approximately 68k miles.
The original 3.0-liter M104 inline-six was bored and stroked to 3.4 liters by AMG in Japan 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 four-speed automatic transmission. Service upon import in late 2020/early 2021 included all fresh fluids, new tires, engine mounts, transmission mounts, control arms and bump stops. In preparation for the sale, the seller performed a full service on the car which included a top off of all fluids, an oil and filter change, new air filter, new battery, a brake fluid flush and bleed at all calipers, and an A/C R134 recharge. A new hood pad was installed in 2022. The AMG exhaust is stamped and made by Sebring with authentic period correct tips. AMG stickers denoting the engine modifications are found on the valve cover and radiator support.
The car comes with service records under the seller's care. Underbody photos showing the AMG suspension and exhaust are provided in the gallery. The Carfax report shows first entry upon import into the United States in September 2020 and an entry from the seller's acquisition in May 2021. This 3.4 AMG is now offered with manufacturer's literature, AMG owner's manual and leather cover, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
Perhaps the most bang-for-your-buck to be had today in the collector car world, the W124 AMG's have become widely recognized as some of the best AMG builds to ever be produced. The premerger era of AMG was the wild west of tuning and produced some of the most interesting cars. AMG developed the legendary Hammer 6.0L version of this car which was record-breaking at the time, beating even the most exotic of sports cars. This unique W124 3.4L was built by AMG Japan and comes in a stunning Pine Green Metallic paint and paint-matched multi-piece OZ Aero III wheels, an AMG gauge cluster, AMG exhaust, AMG suspension, additional interior wood, Momo M38 steering wheel, and Recaro Classic seats. The bored and stroked 3.4-liter M104 delivers an impressive 268 horsepower in a time when other straight sixes struggled to break 200. Interestingly, this car was ordered without the AMG body kit making it a top tier sleeper. Ordering perfomance enhanced AMG's without the body kit was suprisingly popular in period. No matter the owners preference, you could check as many or as little boxes in the AMG catalog as your heart desired, or as your wallet could afford. As collectors fine tune their appetite today, color has become one of the strongest determination of value; and rightfully so. We wouldn't mind if all of our cars were Pine Green. From the sleeper status to the well-appointed interior and beefed up 3.4 under the hood, this W124 AMG required taste and style to own.
