Yes, that is indeed Mike's car (Alumar) and the ONLY reason the SC was replaced is that someone tried to steal it a few years back and Mike had it replaced by shipping it to Kleemann in CO. There were some issues with the replacement BUT those were resolved. Its a high 11s car for those interested. There's also several youtube videos on the car.

He only sold/traded that car about 8 months ago. Wonder why its up for sale again??

I'm curious -- is there any faster car you can get for roughly the same money in roughly the same condition?

I think the original owner wanted $21k originally for the car, it's still a steal.

Hey all ... Looks like Alex listed it ...

VERY good deal for anyone wanting to dive into a C55 with nearly everything that can be put on it done already.

This car is in phenominal condition with the recent replacement of the supercharger and array of other supporting components.

Just search this forum for a history of the car, look under my ID. The rebuild at Kleemann was essentially documented, word for word by Cory himself which had the pleasure to build this car.

He has attested, even just before my original sale how solid this car is. Several people on this forum have seen it in person both in performance level and general review.

This is a high 11 second car with the right driver and tires. Consistantly I could nail a low 12 @ 115-117 mph; its a monster and you will not be displeased.

Lastly, as anyone with consern on any car that has been driven in sport events; I took amazing care of this car over my tenure, spending nearly 12,000.00 in cash to make sure everything that was stressed, was replaced. All hoses, belts, pullies *HB&crank, brake pads, fluids, oil all replaced (oil after EVERY event, quite mythotical i know) ...

If anyone has any questions, shoot them over

Mike, what did you do with the modded pulley? It appears that the original Kleemann pulley was put back on as he listed at 70 mm?? Please PM me.

It looks like the drivers side headlight has been replaced or shifted. Doesn't meet the hood right. Is there any reason for this?

It would take way too much time to fix at this point. People clearly know what it means.... Just a typo, live with it. I do.

"Wow, only sold for $20k. That right there will tell you the modifications mean absolutly nothing when selling a car."

I partially agree. If you're going to throw a car on fleabay with low reserve then you are correct. To sell a specially modified car by one of the better known tuners you'll need to do a few things to get the right buyer: 1) be patient, 2) advertise in the right places, 3) get really really lucky

But in general you are right....... that $1400 renntech intake is worth $0.... and for some buyers actually lowers the value of the car since they think it will have been run extra hard to realize the 10 hp of the intake pc

I find that amusing. I was having a conversation with the seller on ebay about the price as I was interested. I had mentioned $20k would be the best he could expect and he did not seem to agree. He was expecting much more than that and blew me off saying $20k wasn't even close.
