The Mercedes R129 SL 55 AMG is rare, fast, bespoke and the pinnacle of the pre-merger AMG era

I never knew that they did an r129 5.5 L engine. Truly amazing!

Thank you! Yes, the SL 55 is a truly rare model with only 65 built. There was also the SL 60 with bigger engine and build numbers between 600 and 1000 cars. Those were the V8. Top of the line was the SL 73 AMG with V12.
