by Chris Chilton<\/a><\/p>\n 1 hour ago<\/p>\n Fat-fendered coupe received AMG 3.4-liter upgrade before shipment to Japan.<\/p>\n Engine upgrade boosted power from 217 of stock 3.0-liter inline six to 268 hp.<\/p>\n Rare pre-merger AMG could attract six-figure bidding when auction concludes.<\/p>\n Long before AMG became Mercedes-Benz\u2019s in-house performance division, it was building some of the wildest and most desirable German machines money could buy. And while most of us have heard of AMG\u2019s legendary Hammer<\/a>, this widebody 300 CE-24 proves the Affalterbach skunkworks didn\u2019t need a giant V8 to create something special.<\/p>\n Currently up for grabs on Bring a Trailer, this 1992 Mercedes-Benz coupe is one of an estimated 25 examples converted to full AMG 3.4 specification when new. It\u2019s now showing 83,000 miles (134,000 km), but you\u2019d be hard pressed to tell from the condition.<\/p>\n Related: AMG Once Cheated On Mercedes With A Mitsubishi, And You Can Buy The Evidence<\/a><\/p>\n The coupe started life as a 300 CE-24 before heading through AMG<\/a> Germany, where its M104 inline-six received a comprehensive makeover. Displacement grew from 3.0 to 3.4 liters thanks to a larger bore and longer stroke, while AMG camshafts helped boost output to a claimed 268 hp (272 hp). That\u2019s a substantial increase over the circa 217 hp (220 PS) of a standard car and enough to give this elegant coupe performance worthy of its aggressive appearance.<\/p>\n BaT<\/p>\n And aggressive it certainly looks. Finished in Blue-Black Metallic, the coupe wears classic AMG widebody fenders, deeper body cladding, a front spoiler, rear spoiler, and gorgeous three-piece AMG wheels. It looks like it\u2019s ready for a cameo as the bad guys\u2019 car in a thriller about the Yakuza, which is pretty apt given Japan<\/a> is where it was shipped after its original AMG conversion.<\/p>\n Period-Correct Inside And Out<\/p>\n Inside, things are equally period-correct. Heated Recaro Classic sport seats, AMG instrumentation, real wood trim, and a Technics cassette stereo deliver exactly the kind of atmosphere you\u2019d hope for from a top-shelf luxury tuner car of the era. And unlike many modified cars, this one appears to have avoided unnecessary modern updates.<\/p>\n BaT<\/p>\n The selling dealer<\/a> says he\u2019s invested heavily in preparation before listing it. An engine-out service included resealing key components and replacing numerous wear items, while the transmission was removed and refreshed at the same time. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires should help the old-school AMG put its power down more effectively than ever.<\/p>\n Okay, so if we\u2019re being picky, it isn\u2019t a Hammer. Cars powered by AMG\u2019s thunderous 6.0-liter V8 have entered an entirely different financial universe, with one example selling for $885,000 in 2023<\/a>. But for many enthusiasts, this six-cylinder widebody coupe hits a sweet spot between rarity, usability, and pure pre-merger AMG cool. Don\u2019t be surprised if bidding gets serious.
