Atlanta will be way less cool if this goes out of state or to a different country. February 27th, 2025 at 4:11pm ESTBlueridgeMB (270) 1@SDPsupercars Well said Sir!!!February 27th, 2025 at 4:03pm ESTAMG5pt4 (152) Seller 4Thanks for all the comments and support. If this SEL sells, I will truly miss it, but I know it will make someone else just as proud to be the caretaker as I am. Inside 30 minutes to go!February 27th, 2025 at 4:03pm ESTblakleyleonard (351) 1This is a car I've followed for many years. The amount of documentation with this car and all of the work put into it over the years is incredible. Kudos to the seller for keeping this authentic AMG in such stunning condition both aesthetically and mechanically. A true piece of AMG history that can be properly driven and enjoyed today without worry. Collectors and enthusiasts know the value is in the details and this car leaves no stone unturned. Best of luck to all bidding today!

Stellar pre-merger car. GLWAFebruary 27th, 2025 at 3:53pm ESTSDPsupercars (5) 2There are cars that simply come into your life, and then there are those that leave a lasting impression and change how you enjoy the hobby forever. For me, the 5.4 SEL AMG is one of those unforgettable cars. I’ve admired this car since I was a kid—reading about it on forums and hearing stories from owners about hunting down NOS parts in Yahoo Japan, even going as far as buying two just to keep one pristine. The owner’s relentless attention to detail even introduced me to Bluerdgemb, where I apprenticed for a summer. That experience changed my life, teaching me how to care for and prepare a car at a high level. I also purchased a white 1994 E500 from the same seller, and I can’t say enough about the impeccable quality of his cars. Back to the 5.4 SEL AMG—the owner built this car with the intention of keeping it forever, and it shows. He’s been an ambassador for premerger AMGs, taking the car to concourse events all over the country. I even heard he flew to Affalterbach, Germany, with all the paperwork in hand, impressing the employees there with his dedication to detail. Not only has he taken the car to the racetrack, but it was also photographed for Numbers Magazine. When I was pursuing a career as a photographer, he supported me by letting me bring his car to the studio. People often forget the impact these cars have on others, but I can honestly say this car changed my life.February 27th, 2025 at 3:15pm ESTPatinaCollective (27) 3@LT77 The AMG certificate is called a Conversion Confirmation, and states that this car was originally converted by AMG, in period to the Specif
