Could you please driving videos? Cold start.
Thanks everyone. I’m here if there are any questions.
@harry19thanks for the bids. I will definitely work with you the best I can. If you use a shipper I can work with them to help package it up.
Love it. But also scared to death of it. Lots of risk in this one.
I’m out. Enjoy!
😍
What are these off of? Are they refinished? Is that a factory colour?
@124guylittle bit. Lol. I guess that is a relative number. This car needs lots of love.
@heyedweirdo 2002 e55 with command/cooled seats/parking sensors, 2000 sl600 black on black pano roof, 1983 Euro 500 sel, and a few other Mopars.
Such a cool car. Cant wait to get it home. :)
Ok. Does the AC work properly?
@YoungclassicamgDo you have a paint meter? If so, could you check the passenger side fender? i could be wrong but the gap seems to be a bit inconsistent. Again, could just be the photos.
Have you checked the paint on this car with a meter? Do all panels seem to be original? Any sign of rust anywhere?
@Cascadiabenzwhat a fabulous comment. So glad you’re here to watch out for the poor souls that need your help. All of your comments are so valuable and appreciated. Keep up the great work crime fighter!!
@trashpanda911Engine was installed and checked over thoroughly by DC Motorwerks, please watch the extensive YouTube video that they completed on the swap and install. Everything is detailed out there. I might say they did a VERY good job. This car is so quiet when running I have to check the ignition to see if its actually on, LOL. At highway speeds it is an amazing cruiser. Look forward to your bid!
@hitch02 Astute observation. I did not notice that. Auto works on the Air, it blows cold....... I did not check the bladders in the seats. Look forward to your bid!
@Daniel75roughly 233k miles. Look forward to your bid!
Good afternoon all. Good luck in the final 3 hours of the bid. I’ll be here for the show! Can’t wait to see this beauty in someone’s garage.
@570TEgood morning. Please see my answer from July 8th below. Thanks again for the interest!! July 8th, 2024 at 3:17pm Smcase22 (10) Seller 0 @StudioDude Thanks for asking. It is from a 1985 Euro 500 SEC (I can post VIN is you like) that was local to Marietta (where I am located),. The owner was/is a Merc' enthusiast as well and a professional Porsche driver. He had the car maintained by a local speciality shop since he bought the car (I believe 20 or so years ago). He had it in storage and sold me the car, this is the car that I am going to use to do the AMG 'tribute'. The drivetrain is so smooth and original. I am still shocked that this donor car was only 1 mile from my house. I am not sure on the mileage as the speedo was not functioning on the donor car.
What a car. Very cool. Wish it were on this side of the pond! GLWS!!
@Smcase22Ugghhh. Sorry. Had my dates wrong.. lol
@CascadiabenzHey there Northern Neighbor, hot up there? 100 degrees with 100% humidity here... All photos are of the car with the donor engine. All items were inspected and noted to not be a concern at this time when engine was replaced. 100% a Euro 500 engine. Exact same year, 1985, amazingly enough it was in the same local area as me for the last 25+ years and owned by a professional Porsche driver who was a Merc' fanatic as well. There are over 243 photos and two extensive videos on this post. There is not rust that can be seen. Again, the best I can tell this car has been in Metro Atlanta since 1985 (export badge shows date as well). Thanks again for the interest. Stay cool up there!
@CascadiabenzSorry about that. My computer glitched. Answers forthcoming.
@CascadiabenzHey there Northern Neighbor, hot up there? 100 degrees with 100% humidity here...
Hey there all! Well, the final day is here. Bid early and often. Let’s get this beauty back on the road and in good hands! I will be here all day for questions. Good luck!!
@MBDanthanks! As far as I know. They seem to be.
@570TEthanks for the interest. Check my message below on July 8th, 2024 at 3:17pm for the answer on the donor car. Please watch the second YouTube video for your second question! Really appreciate your interest.
@flomanhey there. Please watch the second YouTube video. In short, the owner I bought the car from tried to start improperly. Thanks again for the interest!
@flomanThanks for the compliment. It really is a beauty! Watch the youtube video if you have a chance, it details it all out there. The mileage seems to be very true to me. It was in storage for many years and did not see many miles. If you review the Carfax you will see that it was only driven a few hundreds miles a year in the early 2000's. When you sit in this car you will think it has 7000 miles.
@StudioDudeThanks for asking. It is from a 1985 Euro 500 SEC (I can post VIN is you like) that was local to Marietta (where I am located),.

Hello fellow Benz fans. Selling this Euro 500 SEC is bittersweet as I originally bought to complete an AMG wide-body 'tribute'. After several drives and staring at it in my garage, I have decided that I just can't do it to this car. This is the nicest 40 year old car I have ever seen. Hoping it goes to a Merc' fanatic like myself (I have a few, handfuls:)). Good luck with the bidding, I will be in town and very available for questions. Let's keep this gorgeous C126 example pristine, and on the road!
I was going to go to 30. Surprised this car sold for 28.5. Nice win.
*sparks about to fly........
@MercedesmlHow much to the Savannah Georgia Port?
Nice work @aking. That was fun to watch.
Out of this world is about to drop a bomb.....
BOOMMMMMMM
That was out of this world.
Fight is on..... I'm pully for @nimble (Rocky theme)
Hammer. Dropped.....
Next bid in 30.5 minutes. :)
Anyone have an idea of price on getting this shipped across the pond?
@SchoenauI didn't study that well. Seemed to be at my very quick glance.
@Schoenaucheck the Cars and Bids listing. Videos and photos.
@5280M3Well. Who knows. This type of interactive bid process only works if everyone is interacting.... But, it can be daunting to some, I get it.
@gsxrNope. Didn't even get a response. Lots of google history on this car if you google the VIN.
Just messaged you. Would like to see the car today if possible.
How many safety airbags are there? Does it have side curtain air bags? Thanks
I’ve got all day.
Cart for hardtop included?
Hard to see imperfections as mentioned in add. Can’t tell if it is a reflection or a scratch etc. would you say the entire top needs to be repainted?
Wanted to chime in. This car is absolutely bad ass. If I didn't have a garage full right now I would take this home. Absolutely bad ass car. Best add I've seen on this website. GLWS!
Can you deliver to Atlanta?
@GASmotorcars if high bidder will you work in my trade? 2022 Raptor w 37 package. I'm local in Marietta.
Are there any other paint issues other than the ones noted in your photos/video? Per the Carfax it only shows one oil change since you have owned it. Have you done any other work to it? If so, do you have any receipts?
Are these the original wheels? If not, do you have the original OEM wheels?
@khatchIs that the same paint issues in #80, and #81? Were these added recently? Or were they there at the beginning?
In picture #79 it looks like the paint is fading pretty bad. Is that indicative of the entire car? Just on both drivers side doors? Any idea what caused this?? I have never seen this on a Merc before. Was this car Ceramic coated maybe? Acid washed?
@Davestyle and now you're paying $13k. Enjoy!
@khatchI would too. This was an $8-$9k dollar car tops. Good for you!
@DavestyleWhats the point? BID BID BID BID, can I see the car.... Ok, normal.
I see those now. The Dash Pad will have to be replaced. Do you have the pad or just a cover?
I see a few cracks in dash. Is it in bad shape?
Can you post the invoice for that work. Where was the work done?
Notes say there was previous paint work. What was done?
Was the cracked wood veneer cracked when you got the car? I haven't seen this before.
Can you please send close ups of the wheels blemishes? hard to tell if the paint is peeling or if there are deep scratches. Thanks.
Wasnt this car just sold on here??
What is going on with the rear bumper cover? Is that oxidation? Cant say I have ever seen that before. E55 is one of the best Merc.'s every made. Driving one is just a dream My buddy has one I owned that is over 200k miles and just keeps pugging away. GWS!
I have all night…..
