Overview

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE AMG offers a timeless combination of the W124-generation’s solid design and engineering alongside pre-merger era AMG styling throughout. This example was among the reportedly few units produced for the Japanese market, prior its importation to the United States in 2004. Federalized, US-titled, and registered, it is reported to meet California state emissions compliance requirements following collaboration with late Bay Area marque specialist and collector, Barry Taylor. 

Monochrome White paint pairs with quintessential two-door exterior lines further defined by period-correct, pre-merger AMG extras. Specially designed front/rear bumpers, side skirts, and 17” AMG Monoblock alloy wheels complete a cohesive period aesthetic. Further exterior highlights include a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament, powered sunroof, and front fog lights. Beneath the hood, 3.0L inline six power is channeled to the rear wheels by a 4-speed automatic transmission. Dealer-maintenance performed by Mercedes-Benz of Fairfield, CA is reported under current ownership, ensuring this classic Youngtimer coupe remains in a turnkey working order.

The interior, finished in Blue leather upholstery overlaid with wood trim, brings various expected luxurious of the era—including a correct leather-wrapped AMG steering wheel, power adjustable front seats, air conditioning, power windows, a heated windscreen, and adjustable rear headrests.  The sole non-original modification noted is an aftermarket Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo. CarFax records from 2004 onwards highlight warm-climate ownership. A Seller’s Disclosure, two keyfobs, service records, factory literature, car cover, and toolkit accompany the sale.
