Are you a buyer?

 

[conbrio71]

I wish to have serious buyers involved with this.. it’s not the car for everyone. This may be more of an aspirational forum.
My mistake..thanks for the heads up…

See ya....

@conbrio71,
Before you give up on this forum you should know that the 500Eboard.com is dedicated to all 124036s and 034s and the very rare E60 worldwide. If you really want to sell it this is probably your best shot.

Your next best bet is some auction but you’re taking a chance at an auction. They can turnout great or be a bust. OR you might find a private collector with deep pockets BUT anybody looking for an E60 I think, would be checking with this forum.

 

[duuder]

Are you a buyer?

the car i could care less, i do like the engine but im interested in a vintage 911 but dont worry, the experts here already have eyes on the car and have broken it down! we'll get the new pictures and find the asking price eventually!

now if the car still had the black series wheels, you could ask for 18k more...

 

[conbrio71]

What vintage exactly 911?

 

[TimL]

Sorry @conbrio71, but this isn’t how selling on this platform works. Please read the rules that gsxr posted earlier in this thread. This forum is THE platform for 036 cars and you, as well as everyone else can post for sale items to a very targeted audience free of charge. It is rude to expect all the benefits of this forum without accepting its rules. Post per the requirements or accept that this forum won't accept your ad.

 

[duuder]

What vintage exactly 911?

Nothing that you're involved with b/c we're not serious on this site apparently

 

[MK500]

So, Conbrio71, what is the asking price for the Silver 500?

 

[Goran124]

Looking at the thread from 2019 the car is awful to me, and no 957 code…that is not E60…

 

[gsxr]

Looking at the thread from 2019 the car is awful to me, and no 957 code…that is not E60…

It was a post-delivery conversion, documented on the other thread when it was listed for sale in 2019.

@MK500 - I would assume the current price is higher than the ask five years ago.

But yes, the lack of code 957 in the datacard will hurt value a bit, unless additional documentation from AMG is available with specifics on the date/km's/cost for the conversion.

 

[Goran124]

It's a vehicle registration book. Here in Croatia, you can put a diesel engine in a Ferrari, go to the state metrology institute and get a certificate... that way the data about the vehicle will change. But that does not mean that Ferrari installed that engine.
I think the only documentation that proves the car is a genuine AMG is the documentation issued by AMG at the time of the conversion. You can also send an inquiry to AMG or have an AMG technician inspect the vehicle...it was said that Pattina collective offers this service.

 

[gsxr]

BTW, I just realized the current AMG 2-pc wheels on the car appear to be 18"... which means the gargantuan MovIt brake system has been removed. Those brakes won't fit under 18" wheels.

 

[TimL]

Can someone in the @xfadmin team put this "for sale" ad out of its misery?

1993 Mercedes Benz E60 AMG | eBay <-- Classified ad, $215k USD

Vehicle Description​

LEGENDARY ORIGINAL MERCEDES/PORSCHE-BUILT 500 E
DELIVERED NEW TO MERCEDES' STUTTGART BRANCH
DOCUMENTED UPGRADE BY AMG TO E60 SPECIFICATION
BRILLIANT SILVER METALLIC (CODE 744U) PAINT
ROYAL BLUE LEATHER (CODE 272) INTERIOR
EXHAUSTIVELY DOCUMENTED GERMAN RESTORATION
IMPORTED TO THE USA DURING 2024
375 BHP AMG-BUILT DOHC 6.0L V-8 ENGINE
EXTREMELY RARE MERCEDES-AMG PERFORMER
CONFIRMED ORIGINAL 500 E WITH AMG PAPERWORK

Produced from 1990 to 1995, the Mercedes-Benz 'W124' series formed the ideal basis for the high-performance V-8 500 E, developed and built in close cooperation with Porsche. Sought-after and nearly mythical for its all-around performance, the 500 E was predictably massaged by the legendary Mercedes racing/tuning wizards at AMG into the even more formidable E60 AMG, featuring a potent 6.0L V-8 engine. Other upgrades covered the suspension and exhaust system, plus specific tweaks including the interior, wheels and identification badges. As few as 45 factory original E60 cars were produced (Code 957 and Code 957/958), plus a number (150 estimated) of original 500 E models subsequently upgraded to E60 AMG specification.

This compelling 1993 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG was delivered as an original Mercedes/Porsche-built 500 E on 12/23/1993 to the Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart Branch and converted 24 days later on 1/13/1994 in Affaterbach, home to AMG, as evidenced by the documents accompanying the vehicle. The second owner, resident in Germany, commissioned a comprehensive restoration, with the detailed work completed over a three-year timeframe by the Mercedes-Benz W124 specialists at CPT in Baden-Baden. Only Mercedes-Benz parts were used in the restoration. The vehicle remained within a private German collection until it was sold to the third owner during 2023. Included with the offering of this rare Mercedes-Benz/AMG performer are over 5,000 restoration photos and complete bound restoration documents accounting for all parts and processes. Only 125,000 Kilometers (77,000 miles) were said to be on the vehicle's chassis prior to the full restoration. Following a return to stock cosmetics, brakes, and wheels, the E60 AMG was imported to the United States in 2024.

As offered, 3,000 Kilometers (1,800 miles) are currently indicated. A Mercedes-Benz VIN decoding sheet confirms the original 500 E specification as-delivered in December 1993 to the company's home Stuttgart Branch, colors, features and options prior to the AMG upgrades, which are duly documented by AMG paperwork, plus the exhaustive restoration photographs and documents. Be sure to contact us today to see this exceedingly rare Mercedes-Benz performer directly, obtain full details, and get ready to add it to your collection of European modern classic icons.

Rest of photos.

 

[gsxr]

The new photos are helpful. The exhaust is NOT original and NOT stock. The front crossover pipe has heat shield completely rusted away. Aftermarket catalysts are installed along with aftermarket resonator and muffler.

The AMG Gen2 front bumper, never meant to fit on the widebody 036, looks like it needed to be "stretched" further... to my eyes, it doesn't look quite right where it meets the front fender flares. The rear bumper is also AMG Gen 2... but the side skirts are stock 036. Why install 2/3 of a body kit?

The seats have an "AMG" logo added similar to the mid-2000's AMG models. Not period correct. Again... why? Orthopedic seat controls are present, but no Sportline/E500E seats had ortho available. It's highly unlikely the controls do anything, but if ortho bladders were retrofitted - along with the special modifications needed to the backrest leather to separate the center from the side bolsters - it would be pretty sweet if this was functional.

Door sill trims are Black, they should be Blue. All interior wood was changed to bird's eye maple (original was Burled Walnut). Non-original, non-correct steering wheel installed. Lots of Alcantara™ or similar faux-suede has been used on the interior (headliner, rear deck, C-pillars). Photos are too dark to tell if the headliner is Black or Blue (stock was Gray). Only two undercarriage photos which are NOT enough to tell what was replaced during the "restoration". Interesting that the claimed number of photos has dropped from "over 8500" down to "over 5000". Wonder what happened to the other 3500?

On the plus side, it has correct 036 RHT headlights (hooray!) and the hood rubber trims & foam are intact / replaced. The shutters for the rear seat side pockets (from a 140?) are a nice bit of kit as mentioned earlier in this thread. ASR Off switch is a bonus.

BTW: I hate when an odometer is reset to zero after a restoration. How stupid.

 

[maw1124]

They're overdoing it. Badly.

The AMG seat badges are front seats only, among numerous other issues, most of which were covered by @gsxr.

I have ortho seats in my 036, I actually believed that they were an OE option since it look 100% stock and they work perfectly with three different zones for the back and side bolsters. I think you corrected me ten years ago or so Dave.

But they do still work, and when I removed the seats from the car and removed the seat back to clean, the installation looks very well performed. I actually use the ortho function all the time mainly for my lower back.

Ortho was only offered on "standard" seats... never Sportline. Could be someone swapped in ortho seats into an 036, but AFAIK, none ever came from the factory with it. This car does not show any of the ortho seat codes (404, 405, 406).

I really like the ortho seats, the 1 car that I had with working ortho, I used the side bolsters the most (not the back portion).

Yea there's no code for it with my car and I can see that the installation while being very nicely done, is not factory. It works really well in my 036 seats though. Since my seats are 100% original Recaros it must be someone really wanted orthos at some time or another and had it custom fitted.
