Blue Ridge Mercedes, near Atlanta, specializes in AMG-modified Mercedes-Benzes from the time when the tuner operated independently. Proprietor Jonathan Hodgman, 45, got his start repairing Benzes after sorting out a broken-down, 400,000-plus-mile 1978 280E offered to him on the condition that if he could fix it, he could keep it.
