This Mercedes-Benz ML60 RS RENNtech is now available on a No Reserve auction with The MB Market. Originally an ML55 AMG from the factory, this W163 is powered by a 6.0L M113 and comes with a letter of authenticity from RENNtech.

@ArmenianThere's a shop local to me that can do a quality job on the headliners. They all do eventually begin to sag so it kind of comes with the territory for most of these cars. The shop is King's Upholstery in Roanoke, VA but I'm confident there would be a shop local to anyone that could also do this. When I've had it done in the past it was $400-450 including the sunroof.
@KorkmazI actually did this to my 1992 500SL and it was very simple. Can be done yourself in little time. I swapped to the all glass face euro headlights.
@iamthejd77Confirmed per the seller the wood is original in this car. I was actually fortunate enough to see this car in person and it is in amazing condition.
I want this just so I can use the reverse markers that pop up on the rear corners. Long live the 90s!
@naccerVery helpful information on sourcing this fabric! I'll have to see if they have the fabric I need for my Euro S123 driver seat.
This is one I would personally want in my collection. Hammer looks with an engine good for 500k miles every day of the week.
Congrats to buyer and seller! This is a clean R107 and I was super tempted myself!
@MBZTECHThanks! I was able to take another video showing the A/C and heat in action so hopefully this helps to show that the entire system is working flawlessly... did my best here. The video has been added to the listing.
@MBZTECHHey! I was able to spend some quality time with this car while taking photos and videos for the listing. The Eco button was purposefully on when the videos were shot. It was 39 degrees outside so there was no need to have the AC engaged. The AC does in fact worth flawlessly just to confirm. I'll try to take another video with the AC on this weekend.

@ferrari400i Great speaking with you on the phone earlier about the ML. For others wondering the same, all electronics work on the ML including windows, sunroof, AC and heat. The brakes and rotors are in great shape and recently inspected by my mechanic to ensure there were no outstanding needs prior to the listing. The brakes are Brembo all around, branded RENNtech, so they are still available if the need was there to replace them in the future.
@selski You definitely can. I've owned a number of RENNtech vehicles including a few currently in addition to this one and they've always been super helpful. Typically, I'm able to get any parts needed from Mercedes as it's still an M113 under there. If there is a RENNtech specific part that's needed they will be glad to assist.
Thanks to everyone for checking out the auction for my ML60 RS RENNtech on The MB Market! I'll be checking periodically to answer any questions and am excited to see this ultra rare W163 RENNtech find a new home! The opportunity to own an authentic RENNtech build from this era, especially in the form of a W163, is almost nonexistent in today's market.
@albanianbenz That would be a pairing you couldn't find anywhere else! One for when you want to go fast, and another when you want to go really fast.
@albanianbenz Same same, but different, but still same.
