Man those are some nice looking LO's! $4500:

Something here does not vibe. This is the same car I posted months ago:

http://www.mercedes-amg-classic.com/for ... f=48&t=431

At that time it had the black interior with white piping, and 16x9 / 16x10 AMG Pentas on it.

Someone claimed it was a Lorinser, and would look good with Lorinser LO's on it.

Now the copy of the ad still states that it has the 16x9 / 10 AMG wheels; but the pictures show it as Lorinsers.

There is NO way there were two 87' 560 SEC's in Orlando, both with Black leather / White piping, and the same body kit.

I don't get it???

do you have pics from that previous posting? This latest cl post looks interesting...

[DanielSL]

The interior pics were identical. The same actual photos. The cell phone, the steering wheel, the piping are all identical.
The parking lot of the rear facing shot is even the same parking lot as the last listing with the Pentas on it.

I am so confused by this car and this post.

If you look at the date stamps on the CL photos; the two interior shots are dated 10/25, and the two exterior shots are dated 10/15. Also, the passenger side front tire has used tire shop chalk on it marking the size of the tire; like someone just rolled it out of a shop having those wheels mounted, but not down the road to wear off the chalk yet. But the shots showing the LO wheels are a week and a half earlier than the interior pics. And we were commenting on the one I posted, as it had real Pentas, 10 in the rear, and they looked weird not being on a widebody.

Now this shows up...

It was driving me nuts, so I called on it.

Same one. The owner has had it since 1990. All modifications, he has put on one piece at a time. Not a real Lorinser, not a real AMG. He sold the 16x9/10 Pentas to finance having the LO's fully refurbished. He even had the piping put on it. Nice guy. He's from germany originally. Stated the issues. Strong engine/tranny, but due for timing chain/guides to be done. Leaking oil pan. Small tear on drivers seat. Nice car, but just a clone like I'm already building.

Now we know where Henric got his set of 9/10 five-spokers!

So you can ride a normal body SEC with widebody wheels?
