Description of 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series AMG grey market import performance package |
Straight out from the movie Scarface! This 1980 AMG Mercedes Benz 380SEL has only covered 78k miles since new. It is a European grey market vehicle that was imported into the US in the 80's after it was sent to AMG in Germany for modifications. This car is a true higher performance car from the pre-merge golden era of Mercedes and AMG and it is one of a kind Mercedes Benz four doors sedan performance car. From 1986 to 1992, interest and the desirability of AMG tuned and prepared Mercedes Benz road cars bordered on the obsessive with demand and interest far exceeding the small firm’s capabilities to keep up. These facts were not overlooked by MB corporate personal and in 1993, Daimler-Benz AG and AMG signed a contract of cooperation, allowing AMG to leverage Daimler-Benz's extensive dealer network and leading to commonly developed vehicles (the first one being the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG, in 1993). On 1 January 1999 DaimlerChrysler, as it was called between 1998 and 2007, acquired 51 percent of AMG shares, and AMG was renamed to Mercedes-AMG GmbH.[4] Racing engine development was divested and continues to exist in Burgstall under the name HWA (Aufrecht's initials). On 1 January 2005 Aufrecht sold his remaining shares to DaimlerChrysler, and since then Mercedes-AMG GmbH has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler AG.
