For sale, 1985 Mercedes 500 sec AMG
I love this car but I'm selling my project because I have the opportunity to work over seas and I have to let it go. It has a fantastic history and I'm heartbroken to see it go.
No rust, original AMG Penta rims. AMG headers, 5L ece high compression motor, and rear differential. Here is your chance to own a real piece of history! Come see and make an offer !

If you look closely, not a 1985 but its a Gen2 1986 500SEC. Note the E/S shifter switch, later fuel/cold start system,. and climate controls.
Formerly owned by Gil Moore, drummer of the band Triumph. The car has just been purchased by a good friend of mine and is on its way to California.
Love the Gen1'ness of this Gen2 car. BTW it was an early 9/85 build car, so as we all know Chicago AMG's policies at the time....it got a mix of parts.
There was a BW thread on it back in 2011 when someone else was looking into it.
I will update when it is here and a closer look...and yes a California BAR sticker inspection and emissions is on par and ready. The car should then become a CA resident then.

I was fortunate to jump through hoops and get a hold of Triumph heavy metal drummer Gil Moore from Canada who has reached out to me today - previous owner of this AMG. Nice guy!
He's currently recovering from laryngitis, but will be back in touch soon to catch up on the history/documentation on this car.
Pic of the car back when he sold it - note the plates.

Being that this is a transition car (Gen2 with Gen1 bodykit) I'm still trying to figure out what front lip spoiler would be correct for the car - did AMG mix Gen2 spoilers with Gen1 skirts, or strictly go with dog ear spoilers even on a Gen2 car?
The Gen I dog ear has a contour/relief for the euro gen I bumper rib. So without modification, don't think that would make sense. Gen II euro lip spoiler or a modified sedan non-dog ear spoiler might fit the bill. keep us posted.
