The black/black 560SEC WB that didn't sell at Mecum Kissimee.....Bruce Mendel's representing the seller - this car will be campaigned Monterey August 2018, and if it doesn't sell, then to Amelia Island 2019.

One of my peeves lately is the misinformation concerning the (technician ID) "25" stamping on the 6.0's making people think 25 widebodies were produced out of Affalterbach. Bill Noon from Symbolic sang that song, and even Bruce did today in a comment on BaT.

Seller description:
No. 25 is engraved on the 4 valve heads to document the last car produced with the AMG M117 6.0L engine

(Bruce via BaT)
I have one now. It’s the 25th and final 560SEC AMG 6.0 DOHC widebody built in the AMG facility in Germany.

Completely restored, fully mechanically sorted by Hartmut Feyhl at RENNtech was was AMG Techincal Director back in the day and the only person outside of Germany authorized to assemble 6.0 engines, wood and seats refinished by the orignal craftsmen that worked on the car back in 1990.

About 36K miles, black/black, stunning, all the correct AMG stampings, badging, break-in stickers, VIN# plates, etc.

It’s the finest one in the USA certainly, and outside of the AMG museum in Germany, arguably the world.

If you have a spare $195K, it’s yours. :)

This car is a legit Japan market WB. The car did go through about $50k of refurbishment at RennTech earlier this year or late last year, so the car may well be much more sorted now mechanically and cosmetically.

I believe BW member svb1 from So. CA bought it end of August, stated car "was on a freighter" - hasn't updated since.
