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
