I’m really happy with the listing. I’ve seen my pictures popping up in AMG groups all over social media so let’s see what happens! It is a super special car.

Glad I didn't see you on Johnson Ferry; I probably would have wrecked doing a double-take!

This is a super rare thing and a pretty early AMG at that. A few things to point out: - Super rare TAN Recaro seats - 50.1 AMG camshafts - AMG 300 kph instrument cluster - Monochrome exterior - AMG body kit - Full suspension refresh - Recent restoration in Germany - Euro headlights and bumpers I really enjoyed my time with the car when I built the auction and was addicted to how it drives. I just never felt a W126 feel like this before. Please comment or PM if you have any questions.

January 31st, 2026 at 3:43pm ESTsirmathrocks (17) 1@Stuttgart_Steel why flip the car so soon after getting it?January 31st, 2026 at 11:18am ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 1@DrAMG I was lucky enough to build out Al's auction with the photos and video on his 5.4, so I had some good practice when I did this one! The owner of this car actually went to inspect his car when it was live and fell in love with it. That's why he bought this one -- all because of that 5.4. Really says something. January 31st, 2026 at 9:30am ESTDrAMG (31) 1Beautiful W126 in a nice color combination. Has one of the early style center consoles with a built-in temp gauge. Reminds me a lot of Al’s old 500SEL.

I have a set at home that's missing a couple, so I'll scoop some of these up. Didn't know someone was making reproductions. And I learned a lot dealing with your old 5.4, so going into this auction had me a bit more confident since I know what to look for now and Jono was kind enough to answer what questions I had.

These are correct Pekalit reproduction caps - but the originals were smooth with no grain in the plastic. But, these are an excellent price - $5/ea if you buy 4 or more. The others for sale are $50! https://www.ebay.com/itm/115915252574?_skw=Recaro+seat+center+caps&itmmeta=01KG86R8CX8Z5YXT5FW7V91XM0&hash=item1afd16635e:g:q8kAAOSwMgNlAnzJ&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8O7PUuNWmJ%2B%2BUShgI9tQz%2FoiCGncluRrF6XrDn6mGLNNrhqu1rGaYNs%2ByeS6unmSTP3BFLZ3mRTH4woujRh%2BI3NEObps0n4LgPYsde1Kkelz%2FYO9hxpZy62QyBz26SygyK4RLcQ9YZez8XHedcJcZcH8VA1S%2FEGTkhkAzXRNKUoeIdVZqd5VvEpMTVFg81UlQm7SfrEIO8AeyWSMtY14jc1%2FA010C8WuJqii3BGu5IwdtdkvODFNN%2BxytiItPpuUPBaGTDqeVXCKmYpaVIVN5mc9tINKGmugT1NK7UoFBi7GuNN4mS1XbcHNvMHEdOmTiQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9yG4YaCZw January 30th, 2026 at 2:40pm ESTAMG5pt4 (152) 1Well, this car looks like my SEL I sold a year ago - Gen I 500SEL in Anthracite Grey 172. Interesting car. Solid lifters, cams, tubular headers, Recaros, cluster gauge faces. A few cosmetic issues - Recaro seat knob centers are famous for falling out and go missing (I think four/seat), center console shows signs o
