Beautiful example. GLWS!



1982 Mercedes Benz 500SL AMG 5.0. A rare factory five-speed from Affalterbach.
This 1982 500 SL AMG 5.0 is powered by an AMG tuned 5.0 liter (M1117) -engine paired to a 5-speed manual transmission and painted in black over parchment leather interior.

Originally ordered by Richard Buxbaum from the factory with performance first options namely the limited slip differential (258) and ABS braking system (470). From the factory the black 500SL was sent to AMG in Affalterbach for performance and styling upgrades.
The AMG installed upgrades include Power Increase (CM12) including ported and polished cylinder heads, AMG performance camshafts and exhaust. Styling includes Front Spoiler, Lower Body, Blacked-out Chrome and black BBS aluminum wheels.

This low milage car is one of a limited number of ordered by Richard Buxbaum’s for Classic Motors, in Westmont, Ill. First sold in 1982 this 500SL AMG 5.0 remained with the first owner until 2007 when it was acquired by current owner.

During ownership, the original Orthopedic front seats were replaced by period correct Recaro seats along with new sun visors in 2007 (see receipt). The exhaust has been replaced to a single pipe from mid car to back, and
the original steering wheel has been changed to a smaller AMG sport model. Wheels are AMG Penta models (16 x 8) with Toyo Proxes 245/45/16 (F\R?). The original hard top and set of original black BBS basketweave wheels are included with the car.
