Maybe the engine is a legit 5.4. Has headers, maybe heads/cams. Ridiculous price for a crap car, but maybe someone can verify the engine is legit - pop a valve cover and look at the engine stamp to see if it is stamped 5.4.

I would get that if this was a 500SEC, but a 560SEC with a 5.4 engine retrofitted?
If that was the case this is an aborted effort from the looks of the engine.

Looks like a Koenig perhaps? If so, it would not match the "AMG" description.

From the profile view of the fenders its a Koenig knockoff

If it is a Gen I engine (aluminum valve covers not painted black), hard to verify since the distributor has been removed and there is no Warm Up Reglator (may have been removed). Could be a 5.4 transplant into a garage quality Koenig tribute hot mess.

It looks like an ABC widebody to me...
