quick update:

The AMG modified, port and polished, AMG cam'd, lightened valvetrain, bored and stroked 5.4 liter has finally returned home.

It's now safely tucked aside while I pull the next step into play...

Took the coupe out for a blast up the California coast, running strong.

I attended the West Coast Summer Concours "Legends of the Autobahn" in Carmel, California.

Here are two photos taken from the Rancho Canada Country Club by photographer Larry Loney.

Thank you gentlemen for the supportive replies!

Two other friends and their coupes joined us on the journey north. These w126 coupes were very well received even amongst the vintage concours crowd typically attracted by these events.

Two wide bodies and a standard body Lorinser, made for a unique 040 trio!

and a shameless plug for the widebody coupe's stable mate, our 1982 500SL AMG featured in this month's Mercedes Enthusiast.

Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine >> Issue 119, September 2011

Enjoy!

On another note, this uber rarit AMG assortment just arrived and could possibly change everything.

Any assistance in locating a few missing bits would be greatly appreciated.
