Well the wheels and exhaust are most likely aftermarket. But I was just curious that has that car been made officially, since the guy is claiming that it came from the factory with 492 ponies. If it was tuned by brabus or carlsson they would have propably removed those AMG and 500SEC badges and maybe fitted their own. But now he sent me a pic of the speedo, dont ya think that looks like an E50/E55 speedo? dont think that W140 had that type of travelcomputer or whatcha call it, It came with the later models. PLUS that speedo pic can be found on atleast two websites. Im not buying the car or anything, people who post pics from the internet and claim them to be their own piss me off, retards.

anyways, the speedo:

Oh i can only wish that you guys would understand finnish language i could post the hilarious conversation i had with him about the engine. He claims that it's an NA V10. I dont think that even IF this is a special project, AMG would then make 20 of those.

I like making idiots try to make up even more sh*t to try to cover their story :D

hmm, that is pretty interesting. But why would the guy tune a 500 SEC? Why not a 600 SEC? Most of the time, tuning companies like Brabus, Lorinser, Carlsson, or AMG start off with V12's, and then put in the crazy tuned engine.

Yea, that speedo really doesn't look like it came from the W140.

It appears that the car is in Europe, which could mean that it could mean that it could be real. In Europe, Anyone, (Who had enough cash) could walk into AMG's plant, and tell them to tune their car, and AMG could do a lot of interesting things to it. AMG made these cars Custom. One thing that is weird though is, that nobody can really find any proof of AMG Catalogs, or Pictures of AMG W140's, or C140's. One reason may be is that back in the early 90's when the 140 was made, nobody really used the interet, so there wasn't really anyone who could upload pictures, go to forums, etc.

I really don't know what to say though. I think he is lying about the 20 units garbage, but it COULD be real.
