A 500 SEC is not the rarest sight, but like so many older Mercedes cars, most examples you come across are either beat up from neglect or very un-tastefully modified (aka molested). This owner respects the Benz, and himself, by applying no aesthetic mods—just some proper-sized AMG Monoblocks. At 11mpg it’s certainly not the most practical car in my fantasy Benz barn, but wow. Build quality, big power and safety (for its day), timeless styling. Looking clean yet mean with that battle scar on the front valance, this car strikes me as a well cared for daily driver. And it looks so good I’ve already forgiven the window tint and the four front wheels.
Thank you, you sure bring back the GOOD OLD Days.
Man oh man is this thing clean. Love the more modern benz wheels on it too. makes a huge difference. Somebody definitely wipes this baby with a diaper every night before going to bed.
Love this! Brings back memories of a purple AMG 560 benz from when I was growing up!
