Mercedes 500 E RENNtech Video Walk Around at Tobin Motor Works

Every once in a while a car comes along that makes you re-evaluate the automotive pecking order, a car that makes you remember the best drives you’ve ever had and where they all stack up against each other. That’s what happened when I drove this Mercedes 500 E RENNtech. This very special car is in the cue to go live on bringatrailer.com in the next few weeks.

Click here to view the video walk around and brief explanation of some of its modifications on the Mercedes-Market YoutTube Channel.

It’s a 1993 model 500 E that was sent to RENNtech in Florida by its original owner where the final bill for all the modifications totaled about $58,000. Some of that was wheels and tires, but suffice to say, this Mercedes 500 E RENNtech  has tens of thousands of dollars worth of carefully chosen and installed high performance modifications. The end result.. according to RENNtech, 412 horsepower and 429 ft./lbs torque… and one heck of a driving experience!

The odometer of this Mercedes 500 E RENNtech shows just 71,350 original miles.

Modifications at RENNtech included engine work… bored and stroked to 6 liters, installation of longer duration, higher lift camshafts, reworked cylinder heads and ported and polished intake and exhaust ports.

Mercedes 500 E RENNtech Tobin Motor WorksThe transmission of this Mercedes 500 E RENNtech received a cooler with fan, heavy duty discs, RENNtech first gear start valve body and an ASR delete switch. A heavy duty front sway bar was installed, it received RENNtech rear multi-link suspension and Koni adjustable shocks. It also received and upgraded engine oil cooler, over sized radiator, a complete RENNtech stainless steel exhaust system and 13″ Alcon brakes, front and rear.

Mercedes 500 E RENNtech Tobin Motor WorksOngoing maintenance was undertaken on this car regularly. In 2015 both of the, much maligned, wiring harnesses were replaced along with other items, at RENNtech in Florida. Since 2015 the car has been driven sparingly and regularly maintained. The car is complete with tool roll, original books and manuals and an extensive history and maintenance file including copies of past owner titles and maintenance records. A fitted car cover is also included with the car.

  • Tech Tip: When checking for originality on a 560 SL (or most any other Mercedes) pull up the lip of the trunk seal, right by the lock, and look for a date... month and year... if it’s close to the build date found on the VIN plate on the driver’s door jamb, you’ve got an original trunk seal from the factory. It’s the little things. This is a 1987 560 SL with a build date of “3/87”... so a seal from February makes sense. . . . #mercedesmarket #mercedes-market #tobinmotorworks #mercedesR107 #mercedes560SL #panzerwagen #mbclassic #mercedesyoungclassic #youngclassic #mbca #concourscondition #mbofinstagram #mercedesgang

  • My second visit to “Cadillac Ranch” just west of Amarillo, TX. This time during a cross country trip in this 450 SLC 5.0. I never cared for the look of the modern 18” AMG wheels, but it did make for the best driving experience I’ve ever had in an R107 / C107, EVER. The car rode and handled like a Porsche... a little harsh, very firm, purposeful. None of the usual (and ridiculous) bobbing up and down of the nose upon braking or acceleration. It truly handled like it was on rails... and hustled down the highway at 85, like
