Don Aronow's Mercedes
 

We just acquired Don's 1984 Mercedes 500 SEC from the second owner.
He bought it new & his wife Shirley sold it to a friend of mine many, many years ago.
This is not the car he was murdered in. That was a 560SL.
Check it out maybe one of you guys would like to have piece of Aronow history

Way cool!!

in Silver could be Patrick Swayzey in Roadhouse. Great cars and will last a lifetime.

That's pretty awesome Steve! Bobby knows I had been eyeballing big MB coupes, but I ended up with a E-Class Designo a few months back. Else I would be really tempted!!

Great cars, still have my 560

Nice lookin boat......

That's baller! Thanks for sharing!

What I always liked most about this car was that there was no B pillar, nice clean Benz good luck with it.

Clean SEC for under 10K!

Do you have this listed over on MB World forum, that would be the place to list something like this. I've got nearly 7,000 post count over there and own the fastest MB in the world so let me know if you want me to help you pimp it over there. AMG private lounge has a lot of guys who collect vintage MB's as well, that would be a good place to mention this even though it's not an AMG....too bad it's not the AMG version I would be cutting you a check for it right now, cool car nonetheless.

and own the fastest MB in the world

Don't leave us Hanging on THIS comment with out info and PICS!!!

That would be great, thanks. Let us know.
Bobby " L.S.Jr " handles the advertising. 954-946-3000. I appreciate the offer!

It's $9900 with 167,00 miles on it, a dealer in Pompano Fla has it

Mercedes Showroom is the dealer

Not much for those foreign cars but I have a soft spot for the 560 amg mercedes after taking a 160mph ride in a Federal Judges car in about 1987 (I think) on a Houston Freeway

Not the car pictured

Just to be clear. LOL.

Good buy ! And good luck with a sale. Cool stuff.

Sir, you don't post often but when you do I take notice. That's a cool combo right there. I love my M5 but I don't think it has the towing capacity of your 560.

Anyone know what happened to his 560 SL?

For you history buffs, this 500 SEC was built about 8 years after Don sold Cigarette so you probably can't put a Cigarette license plate on the front and be history correct! :D

You would have to find a Blue Thunder or whatever he was building in 1984-85.

Put one on it anyway.

I took the front licence bracket off it for that exact reason. lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Wvw80UvEM I'll do one better, here is a video.
2008 AMG CLK63 Black Series with stock M156 6.2L AMG block, everything else in the motor and trans is VERY built, plus a 4.0L Weistec twin screw supercharger. About 1400hp +/- depending on which blower pulley I am running.

The black car pictured is a 560 widebody...rarest of the rare when it comes to vintage AMG's.

----I used to work for AMG of North America back when there was an AMG of NA. We were based out of Chicago and brought in all the add-ons as well as whole cars done by AMG. Saw some crazy stuff back then. We had several wide-body, 4-cam SECs come thru similar to the above. My boss and AMG had a falling out and AMG bought our company out. I still have a 1990 SEC with some of the stuff, but no engine mods. The 1st gear start has been done, as well as a bit of lowering and a set of 18s and monochromatic paint done on a black pearl car. Only has a bit over 30,000 original miles and is mint. Anybody want it??? It doesn't get much use since I bought a Bentley Continental GT Speed........Bill S

send me some pics of it as well as price.. rob(at)proformauto.com

I might be interested, do you have any photos? Are you still in the Chicago area? I am in Naperville. I assume that you worked out of Westmont, IL AMG? I have a large stash of new old stock AMG parts that were from the body shop in Westmont that painted the AMG conversions.

Couldn't find any pics as nearly all my older ones were lost in the flood caused by TS Allison in 2001. It was a quad cam motor and had some smaller flairs to accommodate the tires. It was very cool being chauffeured by a Judge at those speeds if only briefly.

The local police never messed with him. Went to pick up the car from his house on a trailer one time and got stopped by 3 local police cars leaving the neighborhood. Had to sit at the side of the road until someone could get a message to the judge who was in court at the time.

----Yup,,,That was Westmont. Cant remember the name of that shop. I have since moved twice and am now about 40 miles north of Detroit, 2000 feet from Canada. I also managed Classic Motors in Hinsdale. Restored and sold a bunch of Corvettes and all manor of Muscle back then. I have many, many great friends in the Chicago area (particularly Naperville as I worked for a homebuilder there for a year as well). that can vouch for me. If you are interested My phone # is 810-420-0431 . The SEC is probably the best one in Michigan.........Bill S

So you own a MB F1 car? Awesome

The car is really nice for a 1984,
Always kept in a garage since new, with a lot of new parts to keep it up.
