And the collection expands

Last week I took the boys and wife down to Kentucky on the wimp. We went down to see the corvette museum. While we were there we saw this little gem with the "FOR SALE" sign on it.

It's a 1995 C36 AMG with only 57k miles. I saw it, I just have to have it. I guess it's my father day gift ;). It's just arrived within the last hour. I'm freaking out with joy...

Thank you all for the kind words. The car is 80%. It'll need some minor works. The front bumper missing part and cracked a little, some minor scratches in the paint, one or two dings on the door. The interior is 90%, the seats are perfect, some cracks in the wood, and a crack in trim piece.

 

Looks great for it's age. Nice! Now we just need to get you a better cell phone camera :)

 

Yeah, it's just point and shoot on my iphone5. I need to learn how to take better pictures.

 

The history of this car may be cooler than the car itself. The first AMG!

 

Nice find.

 

1995 thats the reason I buy. Link to the history lesson?

 

Who was the wimp you went down on? Paul? Seems like a slow way to travel, and his back had to be killing by the time you got there.

 

You know what I mean ;). We were looking at the new C7, but the lack of rear seats is not ok with us. Plus this one is 10x cheaper than a C7 :)

Ok i guess im out of the loop, looks like a normal benz to me, whats so special about this?

 

Legit question as i dont know.

It's the first AMG vehicle jointly developed with Mercedes and marketed in the US. I think it's also one of the winningist (is that a word) touring cars ever.
