Ist der echt? / A true AMG? - 1995 C36

  • Hello, I am new to this forum and I would like to ask for help! Recently I got a 1995 C36 Japan spec. I want to know if the engine is authentic AMG.


    Here are the Engine no: 104941120430005 and chassis no: VIN WDB2020281F195563

  • Hi there,


    sorry to say, but originally it was delivered as a C280 (see below).


    If you have a C36 batch on your car, then it's fake.


    Best regards


    Werner

  • Every C36 once used to be a C280 on its birth - and it's called a "badge" ;) Only the C43 has been built as such, as it was the first AMG in serial production while the C36 premiered as first AMG officially sold as such through the dealerships.

  • Hi,


    coming back to the initial question...is it a true C36 or only a C280?


    In my opinion it must be a C280 because the Japanese clients like to pretend having a bigger model then it actually is. :whistling:


    What you could do is try the acceleration from 0-100km/h; should go in approx. 6.7 sec


    If not, then bad luck and it's "only" a C280; hope you didn't pay the price of a C36 when you bought it ;(


    Please keep us posted.


    Thanks and best regards

  • The Vin is a normal C280. For the C36 the AMG engine it is missing code 957 (Technikpaket). The easiest way to recognize it, is to look at the gearbox. Yours is 722.4 (24 03 639867) -> no AMG gearbox. The C36 has whether the 722.328 4G or the 722.629 5G.

  • Die Karre ist Silber (744).
    Man muss die zum Baujahr passenden SA-Codes nehmen und/oder mitdenken....
