@TheMBManiacLater euro logs differed between gen1 and gen2 engines. The back half of the manifolds were a little larger to accomodate a larger downpipe diameter. With that being said, these heads will accept both early and later log manifolds, AMG m117, and MB tri-y's.
The blended ducktail is a nice Westmont touch, glws
I'm amazed by how much pano tops go for considering that the cars themselves struggle to break $10k.
@AmgkrisI think the silver/polished wheels are refreshing. White centers are a little too 80's for me, especially since the grill is white as well. I think black centers could look good.
Midnight Blue over blue interior is one of my favorite combinations – beautiful car, glws!
@T8KCtrue but its ready for more with the 722.6 :) The only instance I've heard of AMG swapping to euro bumpers was for the US-spec WB. This is a pretty unique build, glws!
I too remember when this was for sale in NZ years ago. I think what makes this example special are some of the details that it has maintained all of these years; the illusive 5.4 badge, modified dual snorkel, the painted outside edge of the wheels, slightly-aged center caps, and the amazing color-matching Italvolanti wheel. As much as I like period Recaro's I think the stock seats are refreshing. @48hp and @AMG5pt4, its nice to have a surviving example to reference :)
I've always preferred gen1 WB's over later examples. They are simpler, focused on performance over luxury + you can't beat WB Pentas :). I don't remember the last time a gen1 was sold at auction. GLWS, beautiful example.
@PhilippTtuvYes, I just installed one on a '92 8v.
These are really hard to come by stateside, especially complete – GLWS!
