I posted about it on Reddit., and the 500e forum. I made an insta for both my r129’s. @retroredbluNovember 16th, 2023 at 12:30am ESTSwissBliss (40) 0Any update @ammaraj24 ? Please don't continue the cycle of not verifying and selling to another poor schmuck later...September 8th, 2023 at 12:12pm ESTammaraj24 (12) 0I understand that everybody is a little annoyed that the 6.0L status of the car wasn’t tested. I must say though that @slammer500 took a huge risk himself when he imported this car from Japan without having a stroke test done on it. And there are countless other stories of other people buying pre mergers without knowing 100% if the engine checks out. Sometimes you roll the dice and you end up with a gem. This car looks too legit, in my mind I have no doubt of its legitimacy. Since @slammer500 rolled the dice himself many years ago, I think its not too crazy for me to do the same. Let’s all be positive and enjoy the unpredictability of the pre merger game.September 7th, 2023 at 10:02pm ESTSwissBliss (40) 1. @ammaraj24 - I will be following you on reddit for sure.... (Have never been on Instagram once in my life, not today, satan) VERY interested in how this turns out! September 7th, 2023 at 8:46pm ESTBlueridgeMB (270) 2Takes a bit more then just a crank, but that's ok;) Buyer either did himself a solid or a major disservice. Winning bidder will find out in very short order I'm sure! Fingers crossed for you!September 7th, 2023 at 5:59pm ESTYoungclassicamg (99) 0solid buy really nice car enjoy ! September 7th, 2023 at 5:34pm ESTALeventhal (5) 0@ammaraj24 Good luck! Worst case, put a m117 crank in it to stroke it - that's how AMG did it anyway. You paid about half the value of a real one, so you have room.September 7th, 2023 at 5:32pm ESTammaraj24 (12) 2Ok everybody, I just took a huge risk.

The wheels and body kit alone adds so much value to this R129. Whoever wins, I'm jealous. A 6.0 M119 would be nutty. Also good photographs! Makes a world of difference compared to the guys that shoot with their cellphones.

All signs lead this to be a legit 6.0 but you never know. I took a gamble on one and it paid of for me. Goodluck to all September 7th, 2023 at 5:23pm ESTammaraj24 (12) 2Screw it, I’m a degenerate gamblerSeptember 7th, 2023 at 5:23pm EST$42,000 bid placed by @ammaraj24September 7th, 2023 at 5:21pm ESTR129hoarder (71) 0@AMGAddict @SLAMMER500 Good luck with the auction and well done handling yourself. AMG Addict: As Prodigal said, thanks for stopping in. We all know how you feel here. Good luck to all bidding. September 7th, 2023 at 5:21pm ESTSLAMMER500 (3) Seller 0@amgaddict. I just clicked on your profile. Did you sign up solely to bash on my auction and promote your own email? September 7th, 2023 at 5:20pm ESTSLAMMER500 (3) Seller 2I believe whole heartedly this is a genuine, original PRE-Merger AMG 6.0 car from AMG Japan. I purchased this car without a stroke test being done from another collector in Canada. I wish everyone the best and feel confident the next owner will be over the moon with their purchase, there is nothing else like it on the market. September 7th, 2023 at 5:14pm ESTAMGAddict (0) 0Eating popcorn watching the ridiculous bids so far. Guys this ain’t all original you’re bidding like crazySeptember 7th, 2023 at 5:02pm ESTALeventhal (5) 0@ProdigalPetrolHead Yes, I do hope the winner keeps us informed. I'm even torn on whether to roll the dice myself. Do I trust humanity or not? ;) @BenzClassic I bought a real 500sl 6.0 on BaT that was built my AMG on a new car at Affalterbach (not a later conversion) and had the paperwork to prove it. But, it has been "upgraded" to the second gen AMG bodykit and larger wheels. I was able to source the correct body kit and wheel and have it all painted and installed. Cost me about $25k all in. Not worth doing financially if it's not a real car, but it can be done. For sure.September 7th, 2023 at 5:02pm EST$38,000 bid placed by @JJEHSeptember 7th, 2023 at 4:57pm ESTBenzClassic (0) 0I'm already dying to know the results here. This is a superior looking R129, maybe the best looking one I've seen. Early AMG body is so much more rare and better looking than the facelifts. I imagine it would be very expensive and difficult to replicate this even from a mere aesthetic standpoint. September 7th, 2023 at 4:49pm ESTProdigalPetrolHead (0) 1@ALeventhal Hopefully the winner keeps us informed and for their sake, I hope beyond everything else they find it IS a 6.0. Absolute worst case- the winner is getting a VERY cool 129. Good luck to all! September 7th, 2023 at 4:44pm ESTALeventhal (5) 0@ProdigalPetrolHead Well, of course you're literally correct that not every euro r129 decodes like that. But, every euro 500sl from the right years, DOES. And, if you think about it, they MUST, because MB could NOT have known when they issued the VIN which cars would be later converted by AMG Japan.September 7th, 2023 at 4:43pm ESTALeventhal (5) 0@ProdigalPetrolHead The optimist in me says this
