There is space for a side mount blower, there is a member that has a SL600 with a vortech blower so it can be done. But it's the first I hear of a blown SL73.

There most definitely was an SL73, and it uses the same motor found in the Pagani Zonda FYI. Do a search and you will be impressed and awed

The guy never posted any dynos so I have no idea what kind of power it makes, my guess would be about 500-525 at the crank.

I'm not sure of the OP's legit., but there sure as hell was an SL73. It made something like 530 hp. Extremely rare, never imported, built to order. Only a handful made. For those not up on their AMG history, there was also a SL60, an E60, and in 2001, an S63 and CL63 w/ an NA V12.

How much do the sl73s cost now? How about the E60? But by far AMG's crowning acheivement (in my eyes) was the AMG Hammer

If those are genuine AMG rims, the rears may very well be 10" wide. Those tires must then be 18/35/275 or 18/35/285.

I do agree they look rather narrow in the picture though.

ML320, Looking for my S4
You forgot about the E36, E50, C36 ::not to rare::. Also the SL73 was imported but are prob less then 30 in the country. They go for 50K nowadays.
