    AMG GT 63 S review on Pistonheads

    Basically the perfect sports car, if it would only come in manual. It's just beautiful. I understand the saloons, estates and even 2 d0or saloons being auto only. But the GT deserved a proper manual gearbox IMO.

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    It seems to be a 1992 actually. Would AMG really reply to such email today, now that they are part of a big corporation? And for pre-merger cars do you really think they kept records, specially after merging with the big giant? Of course it's worth a try and I will definitely do it. Just...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    It's a saloon. It's the only reason I'm interested in it. I'm looking for a 4 door. I think the coupe, if it's the wide body version is stunning. The normal version is not really better looking than the saloon in my opinion. Just different. But the widebody cars are as rare as hen teeth as they...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Yes, this is what I'm saying. If the AMG parts are fake then it's a fake AMG. So there is such a thing as a fake AMG. If the parts are genuine AMG, then I guess it's up to each buyer to decide if it's real AMG enough for him. I personally would not pay any extra for a car which didn't have the...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    It has a straight six. But the son didn't know which one when I asked. So it could be either 3.2, 3.4 or 3.6 I guess.

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    This is exactly why I started the thread. :) I haven't actually spoken to the owner yet. I was tipped off he was thinking of selling it and then my contact arranged for me to see the car by the son showing it to me. So I have no reason to question if it's an AMG or not yet. The price is pretty...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    That's a fair assessment. But even if pre 1993, if it has the engine, the clocks, the interior, correct body kit etc I would say it was probably put together by AMG and most likely as new or close to it. Suspension, the dampers will most likely have been replaced by now and even springs. I'm...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Ok. If you don't want to put your opinion in print is fine. The car I'm looking at supposedly have an AMG engine. I would not be interested otherwise.

    In praise of the CL. Has there been a more perfectly shaped coupé?

    To each his own of course. But I still prefer the C126 SEC, C124 or W112 over any of the modern offers.

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    I'm sorry but I'm not looking for anything per se. So it matters not if it doesn't exist. ;) I started the thread out of curiosity after I found this supposed AMG car for sale and knowing pretty much every other Mercedes gets an AMG kit or look alike kit. Point taken about the Porsche. But...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    I know there isn't a hard line to be found. So I'm not disappointed in not finding one. I'm just interested in discussing the issue for both increasing my knowledge about AMG and out of curiosity and also to maybe help me sort through for sale cars I may come across. But it is a complicated...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    I would hope nobody is contesting if your car is an AMG or not. It's a 2004 model. It should be real easy to confirm. Was the FB one built by AMG? Or converted by the owner? Was it done when new or years later? But you are right. It's really down to the beholder. People will agree to disagree...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Hi, I have already preemptively answered your above question in my prior post. ;) I knew at some point somebody would bring that point up. I'm just not sure why you are being so...I don't know. But here is a question for you. If somebody bought a 911 and did all the mods to turn it into a...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Welcome to the discussion.:) I bet that C55 goes like stink? No better way to drive the family around than on an AMG Estate I would say. I also agree with REDC220's summation. He has a good point. But like I said, first I think we would have to established it was done by AMG. That's even...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    I believe there is indeed such a thing as a fake AMG. Would you say somebody who just got a W124 and then stuck a AMG replica kit on the car has a real AMG? Of course, once it can be established the car was modified by AMG or one of it's branches, then it's just the personal matter of...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Yes, thanks. This is what I meant. :) Naturally the VIN would only come with the AMG options for cars ordered from AMG and not for customer cars brought to them after purchase. I'm not saying I know it all. Far from it. But I did do some reading in the meantime and learned quite a few things...

    Do AMGs have their own number?

    Yes, 1990. But the first car they put out together was the 1993 C 36 AMG . This is when all AMGs started to have options included in the VIN.;)
