1985 Mercedes Benz 500SEC AMG
Genuine Pre-merge AMG
49000 original miles
Functional AC & interior amenities
Standout 80’s time capsule
RMC Miami is happy to present yet another classic icon: a well-preserved ‘85 C126 500SEC completed with genuine AMG aesthetics. Finished in 737 Classic White, the AMG kit consists of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a trunk spoiler and a rare AMG steering wheel. Standout Penta wheels are the cherry on top.
Originally a gray market import that was brought stateside and federalized in May of 1985, this 500SEC started off as a genuine AMG Germany example (referring to its pre-merger styling)- genuine stamps can be found on the body kit.
The 274 Palomino interior, which is slightly lighter than “peanut butter” , is in good condition for being 40 years old with only light wear. There is no bubbling on the black leather dash.
Under the hood lies a 5.0L M117 V8 powerplant paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission and an AMG 2.65 LSD. How does it feel? Crisp. A smooth idle and paired with smooth acceleration make this C126 easy to drive. Temps stay consistent at idle and braking is very responsive with no excessive pedal travel or concerning noise. At the helm, this C126 feels as plush yet as precise as it would have in 1985. Suspension is smooth over bumps with no unsuspecting clunks and power delivery is healthy. Steering is smooth, not vague from center and feels direct for a car of this size and vintage.
Being over 40 years old, this iconic C126 example shows good overall preservation. Interior amenities such as the seatbelt extenders are fully functional, exterior lights work and the car is mechanically sound.
