The car is finished in Black (040) with matching lower cladding and chrome trim around the windows. Features include authentic AMG-stamped side skirts, front valance and lip spoiler, as well as painted chrome trim on the grille, bumpers, and badging. Euro-market bumpers remain mounted along with European-market headlamps and a metal sunroof with tilt function. The seller notes clear spidering in the paint and a minor crack on the rear passenger fender arch caused by chrome fender arches which have since been removed. Various rock chips can be seen on the nose and the body shows minor door dings which the seller believes can be removed with paintless dent repair.
A walk around and driving video of the car has been provided by the seller below.
The 80’s were a really good time to be alive. There was big hair, rock and roll, neon lights, Miami Vice, and no one had ever heard of Twitter or Facebook. You could also turn your flagship S-Class Mercedes-Benz into the most sinister looking land yacht in town thanks to the good folks at AMG. And this is pre merger AMG we’re talking about here; Where there were no limitations on how you could modify your car as long as your checkbook could back it up. When it comes to embracing the attitude and style of the 80’s, this black 500SEL does it extremely well. The AMG body kit along with the painted Penta wheels and monochromed bumpers, grille, and badging transform the W126 in the best way possible. To add to that, this is also a Euro spec which packs a heavier punch in power under the hood from the factory and the recent service performed should be a huge added benefit. While some versions did get the upgraded 6.0 engines, values have now rocketed into the six figures for those and at a fraction of the price you can still get the look, feel, and experience while allowing your indie mechanic to take care of all service needs. Sounds like a winning combination to us.

New Bosch spark plugs installed yesterday@JWCT I think a recclear in certain spots would definitely make it a look much better@Youngclassicamg , do you think this car could be recleared in places without a repaint? Thanks$13,500 bid placed by @dmashour
@Youngclassicamg the exhaust is custom german company called Vogue that got bought out by Top gear and the tips are AMG style the car is almost 40 years old and I have not driven it that fast I have taken it up to 80 and it was fine there was a weep on the valve cover gasket and I took care of that rotors and pads about 50% but they are inexpensive to service under 300 for everything when replacing a bulb on the cluster I noticed the importer left a sticker that noted the speedo was replaced at 8000 kilometers. goodluck thank you !$11,050 bid placed by @MercedesDad
- Could you please confirm if exhaust is aftermarket (non-AMG, nor Mercedes. I read "Top Gear USA") with the only AMG parts being the tips? - How does it drive at 100mph? Any rattles, vibrations, pulling on each direction? - Any leaks present after parking the car for about a week? - In your opinion, how much left on rotors and pads? - Any documentation to support the mileage? Thank you!@Checo Thank you!This thing is so mean....love it! Good Luck$10,800 bid placed by @Mrbenz
