Produced from 1990 to 1995, the Mercedes-Benz 'W124' series formed the ideal basis for the high-performance V-8 500 E, developed and built in close cooperation with Porsche. Sought-after and nearly mythical for its all-around performance, the 500 E was predictably massaged by the legendary Mercedes racing/tuning wizards at AMG into the even more formidable E60 AMG, featuring a potent 6.0L V-8 engine. Other upgrades covered the suspension and exhaust system, plus specific tweaks including the interior, wheels and identification badges. As few as 45 factory original E60 cars were produced (Code 957 and Code 957/958), plus a number (150 estimated) of original 500 E models subsequently upgraded to E60 AMG specification.
 
This compelling 1993 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG was delivered as an original Mercedes/Porsche-built 500 E on 12/23/1993 to the Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart Branch and converted 24 days later on 1/13/1994 in Affaterbach, home to AMG, as evidenced by the documents accompanying the vehicle. The second owner, resident in Germany, commissioned a comprehensive restoration, with the detailed work completed over a three-year timeframe by the Mercedes-Benz W124 specialists at CPT in Baden-Baden. Only Mercedes-Benz parts were used in the restoration. The vehicle remained within a private German collection until it was sold to the third owner during 2023. Included with the offering of this rare Mercedes-Benz/AMG performer are over 5,000 restoration photos and complete bound restoration documents accounting for all parts and processes. Only 125,000 Kilometers (77,000 miles) were said to be on the vehicle's chassis prior to the full restoration. Following a return to stock cosmetics, brakes, and wheels, the E60 AMG was imported to the United States in 2024.
 
As offered, 3,000 Kilometers (1,800 miles) are currently indicated. A Mercedes-Benz VIN decoding sheet confirms the original 500 E specification as-delivered in December 1993 to the company's home Stuttgart Branch, colors, features and options prior to the AMG upgrades, which are duly documented by AMG paperwork, plus the exhaustive restoration photographs and documents.
