Guy seems to be throwing in the towel over a pithy fuel pump relay. Either that or more issues (one assumption is compression shot due to oil starvation?) found w/ the motor.
Even so, with 172K miles, missing hardtop, the interior work needed, may be ideal for a R107 enthusiast looking for an AMG, though a project....
I have a 1983 AMG Mercedes 500sl. The body is in great shape. It has a 5.0 V8 with AMG engine upgrade. The interior needs restored and it needs a top. It is an extrememly rare AMG Mercedes original numbers matching car. I have verified ALL AMG modifications. Very impressive original car. It has new fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, transmission, I've had the gas tank out, cleaned, and blown out the fuel lines. I had it running briefly a month ago, but I think the fuel pump relay has failed. No big deal there. I estimate it would take about $2000.00 future investment to have this car really nice. Probably needs a basic tune up and fuel pump relay to run. The car had sat for about 7 or 8 years when I got it in June of 2011. It was imported to Bill Dovell Motor Car Company in Columbus OH. I'm not really looking to sell it, I'd like to trade it for another car or truck. It's a really nice piece, I'd just rather work on a Jeep, Dodge, or Chevy. I'm open to trades on several different kinds of cars including, but not limited to: 1996 Dodge Ram, Corvette, Jeep Wranger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Camaro, Trans Am, Jaguars with 350's, Porsche. Let me know what ya got to trade, I'd like to see it.
