1989 Mercedes 560sec Amg Wide body replica. I purchased this vehicle from the second owner who owned it in Nevada from 2002-2020 he purchased it with 93k miles and drove it until 2007 up to 138k miles. Then he had put the vehicle into storage for about 13 years I bought the car from him in September 2020. The vehicle went through a complete inspection before the purchase the owner had flushed all the fluids checked brakes etc. Mechanically the car does not have any issues only one thing the windshield washer fluid does not spray I have the part for that just needs to be replaced. I my self have gotten the fuel distributor rebuilt it has a 2 year warranty on the rebuild and after that the car idles perfectley. The a/c has been converted to the modern day r134a blows cold and easy to source if needed to be recharged and the car is now sitting on H&R lowering springs. All power windows/sunroof work fine and power locks no issues. I have three sets of keys 2 main and 1 valet also all the old manuals and some old maintenance records from 2004. Oil change was done at 142,300 miles. The wide body kit is a REPLICA NOT ORIGINAL AMG it is a Duraflex fiberglass kit that I had installed professionally and the whole car was painted after that with top of the line PPG base coat and clear coat FYI this is the same paint used as Ferrari and Lamborghini etc. The car does not have any check engine lights or anything of that sort on the dashboard no oild leaks undercarraige is nice and dry no rust it is a CLEAN title car in my name and was never involved in any accidents before the respray the paint was measured with a thickness mil guage and it was all original paint. Please contact me if you have any questions would be happy to answer. Youtube video links below. I have a bunch of more detailed photos will try to upload shareable link soon.

It would be nice to add "Replica" in a thread, because I nearly had a heart attack. :lol:

I have one of those Duraflex complete WB Kits purchased some yrs ago and never fitted it as the WB flares are too flimsy (thin) and my thoughts were they are only good for using as a template to fabricate the rear in steel or other like CF or thicker FG and the front flair would need reinforcing before instal (i hope his installer did reinforce those rear flares before fitting)
The coupe looks good in the pics except for US headlights & yellow indicators and those cheap imitation one piece rims & bog stock US spec everything else, but looks the part form a distance if you saw it cruising past

The car is on MB Market now.

From the pics and walk around video on MBM, I don't see the rear glass aluminum trim pieces that are fitted into the rear glass seal. Many other issues with this car - cracked dash, filthy interior. Car is a mess in many respects, but the rear glass seal is just horrible.

agree with the missing glass seal
will see if the owner replies about that issue on the auction
Interior can be sorted, who knows how the motor is sorted or not but still it could be a nice buy..

when u take these cars to shows no one cares if its original or a tribute or replica.....as long as u dont falsely advertise...if its done nicely and well sorted so be it
