It is worth mentioning that in the US, the E 63 AMG Wagon is only available as an S-Model, making the choice between a “regular” and a completely bonkers one much easier.

In this year’s Nova special (on sale March 29), I, with the help of Jason Scudellari, took on the task of doing a budget-minded small-block and overdrive trans swap into a ’63 Nova wagon.

If recent reports are correct, the “standard” C 63 AMG Wagon S205 will feature 476 hp and around 650 Nm (479 lb ft) of torque from its all-new four-liter V8 mill.
