On this Facebook page this person keeps finding rare AMGs I was wondering if anyone knows where these cars are being auctioned?

Take a look at the AMG Classic Facebook page. The last photo posted is linked to the company, Bulldog Bros

Bondavi's car is an LH-injected M119, not the early KE.

^^ Affirmative. The car above is a 1991, apparently. KE lasted through 1992. My car (a midyear 1992 400E model) in late 1992 got a 1993 R129 5.0L LH engine (likely because all 400E's originated as LH cars) then given the 6L treatment.
So a 6.0 car based on a 300E (cis) or 400E (LH) apparently had certain discretion practiced in what motors were put in...

Look forward to seeing/hearing more of this gem. It was a tough one to pass up.

Yeah, KE lasted until '92 in the R129, but of course LH-119s were intro'd in late 1991 with the advent of the 500E.
Definitely a loc'd out example tho...
I'd ditch all of that underhood plastic that impedes airflow around the motor in that already limited space
Also I'd be all over measuring the displacement on that pup with a micrometer if necessary, to confirm that it's really a sixer.
