2006 SL55 SL63 Conversion for sale

2006 SL55, Flint Grey with Charcoal Leather, and Alcantara Suede Headliner. 77,000 miles. M030 Package, which means that it has the upgraded larger brakes, Nuremburg suspension, and the speed limiter has been taken off (this is a very rare package from AMG, not after market). Renntech Lowering Module (I still have the CD software). 3M clear bra (22” up the hood and fenders, side mirrors, and whole front grill).

This is what many call an SL63 Conversion. The car has been upgraded to be identical to a 2009 – 2011 SL63. All of the parts and panels were purchased from a Mercedes dealership here is Southern California. This Conversion is IDENTICAL from the outside to an SL63 not an SL550. All of the panels are OEM and the fitment is to specification from Mercedes. If you have looked at any other SL63 Conversions you know that the fitment and finish is always poor and not to factory specification. That is not the case with my car. My car can be placed right next to a brand new SL63 and you would not know or see the difference. I welcome you to come and take a look, you will not be disappointed.

The interior of the car has the aluminum trim and suede inserts on the steering wheel. I would rate the interior as 9.5 out of 10 and the exterior a 9.5 out of 10.

The car is also listed on Autotrader (the contact on Autotrader is Rafael, he will immediately forward your interest to me and I will contact you the same day).

VIN# WDBSK74F36F113472

Asking $49,500 obo

Do I get a big discount if I can spot a big difference on the exterior?

Non-clear taillights and 3rd brake light (also non-clear and non-white) give it away as a pre-2008 R230. You should fix that and come back...

EDIT: The wheels were also never offered on 2nd facelift cars (neither AMG, nor standard R230). The gunmetal 2piece thingies were introduced with the SL65 or on 55s PP.
Are these the OEM wheels or replica?

Clear Tail Lights

Hi,

Yea, I agree that they are a slight give away. I liked the smoked tail lights so I kept them, although the clear 3rd brake light would be nice. Also the wheels are OEM and I think they look much better than the new wheels on the SL63 so I kept my original wheels.

Thanks for the response!

Do you by chance have a warranty with the car? If so, it is worth mentioning as may guys shopping for cars here look for used cards with an aftermarket warranty already in place.

The warranty ran out at 75K. It no longer has the factory warranty. I thought of looking into an aftermarket warranty but haven't got around to it. Do you have any suggestions?

I think the car has to have left then 60k miles to quality for a top tier plan from Fidelity, but they are the best.

I've heard good things about NAC as well. Not sure of their mileage requirements for the top plan.
