Hope you will have many great memories with this beauty. Thank you everybody for your kind words and bids, I really enjoyed the process of my first ever auction. Take care everyone!June 18th, 2024 at 5:45pm ESTDW168 (34) 2Congrats to both buyer and seller.... It was a hard fought battle to the end.June 18th, 2024 at 5:42pm ESTMBcharmer (10) 2@Louie1072 Congrats! Killer win for a killer car. Hopefully we'll be seeing some pics of this online in the future?June 18th, 2024 at 5:41pm ESTDW168 (34) 2I totally agree @MBcharmer, just the time and labor alone would be well worth it to get this one....June 18th, 2024 at 5:39pm ESTMBcharmer (10) 2@DW168 I can't imagine trying to build something like this. Even a narrow body car with a real kit like this would be astronomical today. Someone is definitely getting their moneys worth here!June 18th, 2024 at 5:39pm EST$135,500 bid placed by @Louie1072June 18th, 2024 at 5:39pm EST$135,000 bid placed by @RalphJune 18th, 2024 at 5:38pm EST$132,000 bid placed by @Louie1072June 18th, 2024 at 5:38pm EST$131,000 bid placed by @RalphJune 18th, 2024 at 5:37pm ESTDW168 (34) 0It will be near impossible to get many of these cool Gen 1 AMG parts now....June 18th, 2024 at 5:37pm EST$130,500 bid placed by @Louie1072June 18th, 2024 at 5:37pm EST$130,000 bid placed by @RalphJune 18th, 2024 at 5:36pm ESTDW168 (34) 1Are we going to see $150k?

I drove it to the photo shoot (forest road) and saw it being serviced and Dyno'd.. The power was calculated with a 25% Drivetrain Loss (not Hartmut's handwriting). The owner does not spare any expenses in maintaining his collection, and is an outstanding person to deal with! If you have any questions about the maintenance or service, don't hesitate to reach out to RENNtech. Good luck to bidders - we'll be watching.June 18th, 2024 at 12:46pm EST$68,000 bid placed by @JasonLJune 18th, 2024 at 11:04am ESTBologna1 (8) Seller 2Good morning everyone!
