+1 and it looks like it has the solid lifter/cams. I would have at least dusted the interior before I snapped the pictures.

This one will haunt me. In my back yard. Treasure coast is where I live, so at worst case scenario, this is within 30 minutes of my house. But I just bought a W209 CLK500 Convertible for my Fiancee' for Valentines day. I'm tapped out. But, I could still ask...

Silver on red or silver on black are true Mercedes color combinations, but rarely seen on a SEC. Wheels don't appear to be AMG, could be replica Aero I's (popular mostly on W124/201) but the motor appears to be legit from what the pics show.

Is that AMG welded tri-Y style manifolds in that pic above, where the EGR tube goes in? Sure looks like...

Those are legit, real AMG 8x16 wheels. Essentially 16" Aero I wheels. Rare here in the US, I have almost pulled the trigger on a set in Japan. Someone needs to buy that car!

just FYI .... Owner says car appraised at Barrett Jackson in 1993 at 40K he feels is worth more now. I did not speak with him he called back and left a message while I was at work.
TOO RICH FOR MY BLOOD

My 190 has the Aero I's, the ones on the car look different from authentic ones. First the obvious, no AMG stamping on the face. Secondly, the lip on this is much wider.
I'm attaching a picture of an authentics AMG 16x8 et11 Aero I. This is the W126/107 version and you can see the difference between whats on the car and authentic wheels.

Compared to whats on the car:

Has anyone called to get a price? Looks like a great project car.

i have a set of 16x8 et 11 early Areo Ones with new tires i put on them sitting on the being parted out Mosby 500SEC Euro that was once Chaddars from BW. I got the wheels off a car I bought when I was in No.VA. I will sell them.

My bad - those must be reps. No AMG logo.

Here is a legit set:

Mine are legit on the car. There is AMG logo pre merger , just hard to see in this pic at that angle, and all the offical AMG stampings on the wheels.
