Default What does the garage of an AMG vintage-parts packrat look like?

This guy was the biggest AMG dealer and grey-market importer in the 80's and pretty much bought up all of AMG's inventory. Apparently he's been storing things that even AMG doesn't have molds of.

The shop car, a debadged grey-market DOT-converted E60 AMG:



Grey-market '99 Brabus G500:




600:


Wall of NOS wheels (apparently there are wheelsets all over the garage) with an AMG 560 SEC vert (with super bracing for rigidity) owned by a now-jailed drug dealer, last on the road in 1990:


More AMG wheels:


AMG 560 engine:


AMG LSDs with "2.65, 2.82, 3.06, 3.27 and the "neck-snapping" 3.46" ratios:




Euro 280CE (mint):



Early model AMG E50:





Euro W123 280E AMG:


Another AMG W126:


560 engine:


AMG interior with rare burlwood:



280SE AMG:




The guy with the beard is the packrat, apparently:


AMG exhausts/cats:




XJ220 hanging out:



Very early W124 AMG test-mule (used in some Reebok commercial, apparently):



AMG 500TE (legal for CA but never registered)





W108 AMG!






190E Evo:


Bodykits and wide-body panels:
