Re: [MBZ] Rusty-Q has begun!
Real thing, bought at Barretts (spelling?) Auction for $50k recently. I think it only had about 10k miles? Started as a 124.193. Max -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

The 16v one that was for sale recently, or a real 32v Hammer? Sometimes I still wish I'd bought Alain's red Hammer sedan when he moved about five years ago and I was looking for a 201/124 shell for a diesel project. OTOH, instead of getting dieselized, the guy who bought that car went to the trouble of sourcing a real Hammer engine, which turned out to be the original engine from that very Hammer, and put it together right with tens of thousands worth of new parts. (and if he drives it 100,000 kms, he can do it all over again) Looking back on it, those AMG Hammers get rebuilt more often than Diesel Vixens. Maybe the whole idea of boring out a 560 block, sticking 32v heads on it, and tuning it for massive power wasn't that smart to begin with. How often do you see an ad where somebody's Vixen died on a trip, he paid some ridiculous sum like $12k to rebuild the BMW engine, then had to fly out to wherever it died and drive it home after the rebuild, and then wants to sell it for $15-20k? I'm reading the ad and thinking "I would have given you $3k cash the day you blew the engine".

That's astounding. I turned down an opportunity to buy a running 524td (seemed mechnically sound but paint was crazed and interior shabby) for substantially less that that.

I managed to take just one really bad picture of "the crowd", and then a few of the 124 AMG Hammer wagon. Spent my time getting to know Tom "Parts, this Tom, how can I help you", John Robbins, Drew Tibcken, Rick Hawkins, Rolf, and a few other folks from some of the forums.

A few different folks from NC were there, maybe next one you can caravan over. Park was really nice setting, big new playground for the kids. Lots of grass, view of the water.
