2006 Weistec 3.0L SC'd C55, 2006 MaxPsi PT6466 Turbo'd M3, 2019 Maserati GTS , 2020Alfa Quadrifoglio
Fastest C55 for sale
I am selling my 2006 C55 Weistec 3litre twin screw SC to the highest bidder with a reserve of $15k. I spent over $100k on this car and it has a brand new E55 block in it to lower the CR ratio to allow massive boost. It has less than 10k miles on the new block. It has every conceivable mod on it including Kleeman Cams, Hoolyboy long tube headers and custom exhaust, titanium rods and pistons, racing plugs and Weistec custom tune. It has a lightweight fiberglass custom vented racing hood with hood lock latches. Paint and body is in perfect condition with not a single dent or chip.
Fiberglass hood with hood latch pins

[QUOTE=AMGSC;8612078]
one of a kind project on the only C55 Weistec did this to.
Dyno'd at 700+whp and ran low 10 sec quarters. Has massive brembo red brake upgrades and brand new coilovers, upgraded control arms, camber and toe upgrades, etc.. as I said over $100k invested. Odometer reads 51K from both original engine and new E55 engine.

I know you've spent ton$ on your very exceptional C55 over the years and will, more than likely at some point in time, regret selling your baby! A couple of questions comes to mind regarding the new California law regarding "after-market ECU tunes" which are now illegal in this crazy state, and the MBH headers, which are also illegal for our cars since no U.S. header manufacturer makes an approved set of headers for Mercedes Benz. The eventual buyer will have to de-tune the car every two years to pass smog in California which will take 1/2 hour or so for the de-tune but a couple of hours of driving at certain speed cycles to re-set the 6 or 7 ECU monitors to pass smog. And lastly, the same "pain-in-the-backside" to uninstall the headers to pass the visual inspection for smog, and then reinstall the headers, too.
The foregoing comments lament the same issues I have every two years when I have to pass smog with my C55, too!
I wish you well with the sale and, hopefully, the eventual buyer will truly appreciate what he's/she's is buying!

I think only California is so strict. This would pass on in just about all other 49 states.

You're absolutely right! I was speaking to potential California buyers specifically. I'm sure you'll get your price. Did you consider Bring A Trailer? I'd love to see a bidding war for your car. I'll be watching..........

Bump to the top
It's got perfect paint and no chips or dings anywhere. The egone is basically a brand new E55 engine which cost me $25K woth less than 10K on it. Its also got Malle upgraded titanium pistons, rods and racing valves; it's also got brand new bilstien PSS9 adjustment coilovers along with all upgraded stabilizer bars, KMAC camber and toe upgrades. It's got an upgraded Maybach transmission, High stall torque converter, Weistec ECU and TCU tune, $5K upgraded Brembo 6 piston brakes along with all the other performance upgrades like the SC kit, Hoolyboy long tube headers, Klemann Cams, racing plugs, 82mm Throttle body, Quaife limited slip differential, 5 gal Coolant tank in the back trunk.. Basically it's got every conceivable performance upgrade imaginable. Finally the interior has a ll real carbon fiber upgrades including steering wheel, AMG shift knob and all interior panels with no signs of wear. The car is immaculate. I'm asking for $20K cash and pickup since I'm getting a few offers in the 18K range.© 2022 MH Sub I, LLC dba Internet Brands

How about my Turbo E46 M3 also for sale
I'm also selling my 2006 E46 M3 convertible
Maximum PSI turbo kit with matching tune, PSS10 coilovers, sway bars, reinforced subframe, custom X-pipe exhaust with flared tips, vented fiberglass hood, carbon fiber interior and brand carbon fiber front chin, rear spoiler and diffuser.

It's also a 750+rwhp 10sec car but drives almost stock until you hit the hammer which will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

New lower Price
I need to move this faster so $18,500 is my new price for either vehicle. Both drive perfect! No mechanical issues at all. M3 had a new Hydraulic unit installed.
If you buy both cars then $36K total.

Enthusiasts buyers only!
These 2 cars are one of a kind modified cars that are truly reliable and comfortable which is very rare indeed. Both cars do not need a single performance upgrade needed. Engine, forced induction, Headers, Cams, suspension, brakes, transmission, exhausts, cosmetics, etc...in my opinion they are rare collector cars that will outperform any later year similar models by far.

hi there.
i am in new zealand, with c55 wagon that, since buying newer amg's, just sits in garage now because too slow.
my mechanic is trying to talk me out of kompressor conversion because of high compressions and wotnot, recommends m113k engine swap instead.
so i am interested in your car, to ship back, where we have no emissions hassles, and take its engine, given our cars are right hand drive.
i am coming to los angeles next month, and would like to come view if still avail.
i will send private message, and maybe we can go from there, thx.

Did I mention that the C55 also has a 3 inch diameter custom Xpipe exhaust? This was done by Richard Garcia @Dyno-Comp in Arizona. They are anexcellent AMG tuner and i purchased my Hoolyboy headers from him too. I had it redone from the first exhaust upgrade because it was too loud. Now it sounds so smooth and civilized but roars like a lion when excelerrating yet the sound is so smooth instead of annoying and cheap.
