[W126 Coupe] 1990 420 Sec EV Conversion

[Ernie Stephens]

Hello Jonathan,
I did a search on the internet but nothing other than the 560 SEC came up.  If the body is the same I wonder what they had in mind using a smaller engine?  If a conversion is needed, how about converting to natural gas?  But a better idea might be to leave it alone, just keep the car tuned and running at it's best  . . . a more affordable way to go and eco friendly enough.

  they are out there, just never imported to AMG NA.  Looks just like a 560, just slightly shorter deck height;-)

    Hello Munir,

    I don't think that I've ever seen a 1990 420 SEC; do you have a picture of it, like to see it?

            Greetings,

            I just bought a 1990 420 sec and thought about converting this baby to use electricity and avoid the gas engine.
            On the other hand, its quite heavy car for such a project. But I will like to get more advice or if someone has ever done it.

            Thanks & regards.
