AMG Widebody Tribute - Japan

Post by AMG5PT4 »

Spotted this for sale on Japan Yahoo:

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d247099722

Pretty color. Description states fender flares are copies made from original flares. Looks nice in the pics. Love the 9/10 five spoke wheels on a Gen II body (1991 car) - as nice as the OZ wheels are, they can't touch the five-spokers IMO.


comment
Thank you for seeing my auction.
Please tender after reading until the end

1991 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC blister specification
Bow Knight Two-tone (Original color)

We are looking for the next owner depending on circumstances

The owner from the last day made the current exterior specification from normal
For me, Stem Seal, Bilstein Short,
Power steering pump O / H, complete suspension, front hub O / H,
AT cooler hose exchange, brake caliper O / H ... etc.
We have reached the present

The fenders are not genuine, but at that time they got molded from the genuine article (FRP)
I have heard that it wears

Although it is a muffler, we are wearing X pipe (one off), never
It is not an explosive sound I will pass off the muffler that I cut off
Since it has a flange, it can be installed immediately

We will welcome current car confirmation
In the question column, if you can fill in the name, melody, mobile, name
I will reply without publishing it
It is an exhibition from Setagaya-ku, Tokyo

Since we are individuals, consumption tax is unnecessary
Those who can remit money within 5 days after a successful bid
Those who can change ownership within two weeks Please bid it
Since discount after it makes a successful bid can not be done, I need your help well.

We will respond to your inquiries well, etc.

I've seen that car years ago - what was interesting is I saw the pics well before Henric reproduced the widebody kit - some have inferred the Japanese copies were off of that kit. Not so with this car - as I saw it well before the Phonix was on anybody's mind. The rear fender lip is the giveaway.

For those who remember, the Canada 500SEC widebody that met its demise and was parted out was the same purple color originally.

Refreshing to see other color schemes and drivable examples.. The huge rise in genuine WB collectibility has only increased the challenge of driving one on a regular basis as it would be a bit of a nail biter.

The kit found on this example is based on the last iteration of the AMG WB styling. The front and rear spoilers are integrated Gen II euro bumpers design. The side skirts have sharper downward angles forward and aft. The rear quarter flares are parabolic rather than compound curves.

One replica that came to market in SD awhile back had this same kit, 3pc OZ and an AMG / Sebring exhaust.

The only Phonix kits that were ever actually installed to my knowledge: the red Gen II example in NY that was modified and messaged to the owner's taste and the Wheeler Dealer Wide Body.
