You're probably familiar with the awesome V12-powered SL73 AMG. But did you know that the R129 could be had with an AMG V8? Most people think the SL55 moniker debuted on the R230, but in fact, sixty-five R129 SL55 AMG's were produced from 1999 to 2001.

Unfortunately, you're far more likely to see a phoney-baloney rebadge than the real thing.

They also offered SL60 AMGs and SL70AMGs, which are even rarer.

That is awesome! Doesn't AMG own all these special rare versions?
