Below: It is not a 240Z - but it is about the same overall size! The "SUNBURST YELLOW sure brightens up the garage!
Below: 1999 M/B SLK 230 with "Sport Package" aka AMG Trim. On the exterior here you can see the AMG Front Spoiler and Side Fairings. Also the 17" AMG rims. The "Sport Package" was a $3990.00 extra cost option in 1999. This SLK also has the Optional 5spd. A/T {$900.00}
Below: The finish on the car looks like new. Purchased and garage kept here in Clearwater, FL by its Original Owner - until I purchased it from her.
Below: Here you can see the AMG Rear Faring/Bumper. Yes, it is a Retractable Hardtop!.
Below: The "AMG Sport Package" included Carbon Fiber trim on the door thresholds
Below: The Carbon Fiber trim was also used on the Center Console.
Below: Engine Bay was very clean
Below: The car came with its original Mecerdes-Benz Car Cover, and Front Bra.. The item in the Blue Wrapper is the original Front License Plate Mount {not used here in Florida}. Note also the 6 Disc CD changer - that is part of the "Premium Sound System". It works perfectly by the way. As does everything on the car.!
