Equipment
AMG “Hammer” upgraded at AMG North America in Westmont, IL, restoration work done at RENNtech in 2022. Leather upholstery.
Condition
Good paint and body with no significant flaws. The engine compartment exhibits some minor oxidation on exposed metal parts and the underbody does exhibit minor oxidation. The interior does not show much wear. A very good, mostly original, pre-merger AMG.
Market commentary
400hp from six litres today seems almost ordinary but in 1987 it was as good as it got and the cachet of the "AMG Hammer" reputation continues to this day and it will still humiliate most modern sedans in acceleration and handling. The price in this transaction is, however, demonstrably excessive. The successful bidder got bragging rights but at a nearly ruinous cost. Do not expect this result to be repeated.
