1999 Mercedes Benz SL73 AMG

Vehicle Overview

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL73 was produced by AMG in 1999, and AMG-specific equipment includes the 7.3-liter M120 V12, exhaust system, lower bodywork, speedometer, steering wheel, and 18? Monoblock wheels. The car is a European-market example that spent time in Japan and was purchased by the current owner and imported to Germany in 2024. The body is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic, and equipment includes a five-speed automatic transmission, a removable hardtop with a panoramic glass roof, a black convertible soft top, xenon headlights, heated multi-contour front seats, wood trim, a CD stereo, and automatic climate control. Service in April 2025 involved replacing the convertible top hydraulic cylinders. This R129 SL73 AMG has 32k kilometers (~20k miles) and is offered in Germany on consignment by the US-based dealer with the owner’s manual, an AMG certificate of authenticity, a Japanese export certificate, and a bill of sale from the consigning dealer to the winning bidder.

A German-language letter from July 2024 details chassis number WDB1290761F190184 was initially built as an SL600 and then fitted with the following components:

• AMG engine M120-7.3L with associated exhaust system
• AMG body kit (front and rear bumpers, sill panels)
• AMG 18-inch light-alloy wheels
• 300 km/h AMG speedometer
• AMG steering wheel

The car left the factory in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a power-operated black soft top and a removable panoramic hardtop with tinted rear windows. Additional details include a decklid wing, xenon headlights, headlight wipers, V12 fender badges, and SL73 AMG decklid emblems. Paint meter readings are displayed in the gallery. The soft top windows are sun-faded.

Modular 18? AMG wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires with 2007 production date codes. Standard equipment included Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an Adaptive Damping System (ADS) with all-wheel automatic level control. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.

The four-place cabin houses heated, power-adjustable, and multi-contour front seats trimmed in black Nappa leather, while chestnut wood accents the door panels, center console, armrest, and gear knob. The left-hand-drive cabin has automatic climate control, cruise control, seat position memory, a deployable roll bar, and a stereo.

The leather- and wood-trimmed steering wheel fronts a 300-km/h AMG speedometer installed in 1999. The digital odometer indicates 32k kilometers (~20k miles), fewer than 100 of which were added under current ownership.

The 7.3-liter M120 V12 sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Ewald Menke GmbH Mercedes-Benz of Lohne, Germany, performed an A service in August 2024.
