W123 500TE AMG
W123 500TE AMG
I may have stumbled on one of the earliest, more unique W123's, ever modified by AMG, a 1979 wagon.
Unfortunately, there was absolutely no history provided with the vehicle but the sum of all of the AMG options found on this example leads me to believe it did visit AMG before arriving in North America.
The list of options include:
Full AMG Body Kit (Front spoiler, side skirts and rear apron)
Lowered suspension
Early BBS style 8JX16 wheels (AMG did not produce their own wheels until circa 1983)
Euro front and rear bumpers
Euro headlights
Recaro Ideal C seats in matching MB upholstery (same as door cards and rear seat)
Independent trans and engine coolers
LSD differential
and the most exciting options installed...
M117 5.0L V8 with tubular headers and downpipes.
The vehicle is in need of complete restoration as it's a cosmetic mess. Needed this project like a bag rocks...

How much ASD did you take...?
Savolaiset ovat kaikista komeimpia ja kaikessa ylivertaisia. Säälittävän primitiivisessä kateudessaan muut heimot yrittävät heitä pilkata.

Re: W123 500TE AMG
Kiitos!
More picts, yes. I've since stripped it to the bone...
a few things to address before it's ready for body and paint.
