1973 Mercedes 450SL R107 (modified)

There's nothing like the sound of a sport exhaust on a clear California morning. And on this morning, my son and I enjoy Goldie, our tastefully modified and "period correct" AMG Tribute vehicle.
Lots of work has gotten into this car. And almost all of the work has been done by us, the old "Gearheads" that were around in the 70s and 80s as highschool Euro Motorsport dreamers.
This Mercedes is my build to honor those days and those Motorsports tuners in the San Francisco Bay Area that turned quality European vehicles into subtle monsters.
Cheers!

What was used to lower the car? How much was it lowered? Looks awesome!

[@calspeed1]

HR Springs. Bilstein shocks.

@@calspeed1 thanks...the H&R springs I see say they lower the front nearly 2 inches and raise the rear 15mm. Is that what you did?

[@calspeed1]

@@jayahmadi4074 yes. I also replaced all the bushings and swaybar links.

it pretty much does that with low profile tires on the 14" rims

What is that badge on the grill?? I live in Monterey and I see them all over the place and have always wanted one.

Keep original like it was designed.
