History
Built before AMG/Benz marriage so was sent to AMG for mods - then off to Japan as a custom order. I imported her in 2003 - inspectors over torqued the wheels but would not stand behind the misdeed, so $7000 later I had new replacement AMG wheels. But I do love driving her - great highway cruiser!

Modifications

Drivetrain
I believe the AMG upgrade took the 5.6L V8 to about 315 hp.
Interior
None
Exterior
None, only the AMG body package done immediately post factory build
Audio
It needs to be upgraded but I also want to insure her as a Collector Vehicle so will remain stock
Wheel and Tire
I had to replace the AMG wheels because of stress cracks that went unnoticed - tires were done as well so she had new AMG wheels installed in 2003 ($1750 ea) as well as new Bridgestone Polesitter S2 ($600 ea) so by the time I got to drive her I not only paid for her, paid to import, but then another $10000 in wheels and tires - can't afford to sell her! HaHa!
Those tires have about 5k on them over the past 13 yrs, but they are shot! Mo money!
