AMG/Getrag 5-speed Manual Transmission

One of the most expensive and rare upgrades made available by AMG was the Getrag Manual Transmission. There are two versions that I am aware of that were mounted in the very few numbers known today Getrag 262 and Getrag 265 "Dog Leg" versions. Both utilizing close ratio configurations.

 

[48hp]

AMG/Recaro Classic C and Ideal C

AMG also offered a sport seating upgrade by Recaro, these could also be color matched to even the most extreme colors!

AMG Interior

Various other interior appointments were available as well including color coded leather shift knobs and AMG floor mats.

 

[48hp]

One of the early AMG signatures was the chrome delete option. This was a costly proposition. All the exterior chrome was removed, etch primed and painted to match the body color or as seen commonly on lighter colored vehicles the chrome painted a satin black.

Too bad this wouldn't fit in a 107.

Too bad this wouldn't fit in a 107.

Yet.

 

[rowdie]

Too true. It was an option then but not for the 107. AMG said it wouldn't fit, not me. Picture is from an '87 AMG Catalogue.
It was ONLY around 39K exchange.

I have this steering wheel but with an MB emblem. Wonder if a wheel center is the same size. Doubt it but will see.
