Never really that popular. The ultra rare one is the R63 AMGLost Spurs,
I LIKE. = Handsome van. And fairly rare, isn't it??
yours, satx
It's amazing what cars get abandoned because repairs exceed the value of the car. If you can work on your own stuff you'll always have a nice car.Got it for a steal at $1750. ... I put $1300 in parts at my cost and a weeks labor every night after work by me at no charge to me. ... All said it was probably 10k worth of work at full shop rate.
Here’s an interesting article on a guy who bought a used R63 AMG, no warranty...

That's a great tip!After all material issues were addressed, the later engines are rock solid. They can be noted by black plastic valve covers. The early grey magnesium ones will indicate a earlier engine with potential for issues.
Here’s my Gen 3 with the old wheels. I had them replaced with HRE C103 18x10 f and 19x13’s r. Black centers with polished lips, there’s a pic in this thread of it sitting in the garage with my other Viper and my Porsche just outside in the driveway.
Mods were done by Hennessy. Belanger Headers, Corsa Exhaust, engine work and full Moton racing suspension. It’s a beast.
