Car is all there, doesn't look to have had much if anything done since Before 2004 (tires are from 1998) and a lot of the time it did spend was outside. Corrosion under the rear window is extensive. It's going to require removal of the hat tray assemblage and a new rear window. Neither of those parts exist. The fender wells in the rear have some pretty serious Holes as well... I did NOT dig into the visible rust on the fenders, not my car not comfortable pushing/pulling/chipping away at things. Fuel tank and fuel system have been ravaged, not surprised. My phrase of late with a number of cars I have been PPi'ing has been 'everything needs something, but some things need More'. This car falls under that heading. You won't leave a single aspect of this car alone in an effort to bring her back to former glory. All that aside, again she is all there and the real deal. If you budget under six figures for a resto you're not doing the car justice IMHO. I'm watching closely, I do have Everything here that would be needed to sort her out at least. Also, Kudos to Marco for watching this beast of a car for years and having the wherewithall to go and snap her up. He's a great guy based on our time spent, a pleasure making your acquaintance sir!October 10th, 2023 at 3:19pm ESTAMGTuned (0) 0Yes still waiting for Jono's full reportOctober 10th, 2023 at 1:33pm ESTAli63 (12) 0Any commentary forthcoming from @BlueridgeMB?October 10th, 2023 at 12:56pm ESTSportcarpr (3) 2If you need a place to safely park some cash then I think you've found it haha. The dollar may go down but a car like this will only go up!October 10th, 2023 at 12:07pm EST$80,500 bid placed by @ChesterOctober 10th, 2023 at 11:29am EST124guy (106) 2Smart money buys this one! You can't find them like this anymore today. If my pockets were deeper it'd be no question. A dream car for the century GLWA!October 10th, 2023 at 10:31am ESTbenzgarden (44) 1@48hp, the door panels in the magazine car are different as well. October 10th, 2023 at 10:16am EST48hp (7) 1@MP91 The Ideal and Classic seats are very similar but those pictured in the magazine are Recaro Idealsitz, not Classic-C seats. The photos used in the magazine article are stock AMG catalog photos. Though the press car and the car being auctioned are very similar, they are not the same.. Regardless, beautiful time capsule and GLWS!October 10th, 2023 at 10:05am EST$80,000 bid placed by @Bgood5October 10th, 2023 at 9:33am EST$51,000 bid placed by @AbolfazOctober 9th, 2023 at 6:02pm ESTAmgkris (1) 1Hard to find in any condition . incredible !October 6th, 2023 at 9:26pm ESTMP91 (10) Seller 1Also you can see on the magazine pictures the Recaro seats where installed when the car was built.October 6th, 2023 at 9:16pm ESTMP91 (10) Seller 1Jonathan stopped by on Thursday, October 5th, to check out the car. During our conversation, one of the many things we talked about is the existence of the original AutoWeek magazine from July 23rd 1984 featuring this very car! Jonathan suggested I share this information with the auction, so here it is! When I purchased this car from the previous owner, she graciously passed the magazine along to me. She remembered how it had been gifted to her by the dealership where she purchased the car in the early 2000s. All of this goes to show the incredible history and story behind this iconic car!
