Nice CL55 with Extras

We finished this car for one of our customers. It is by far one of the nicest drivers I’ve seen lately. We have taken it out to 398 hp with mods to the ecu, air box and a stainless header back exhaust. We also changed the ride height in the ABC it can be done with out any modifications to the ABC system it’s self. Added a Brembo brake set front and rear, and 19” Monolite rims.

Under 30K the largest expence was the hand made headers and down pipes.With the sport cats and resonators and mufflers, the car sounds fantastic and has a long and stong power band.

So if you but the car at MSRP do the upgrades you are around the price some dealers are asking stock.

BTW we only sell @ MSRP new or used, on the used ones we can add Lux tax only to msrp to get price and any mods.

heh, if i had a cl55, i don't think i'd care too much about the cost interesting, though, that an AMG was UPgraded w/ renntech as if being AMG wasn't enough. to me, it would make more sense to upgrade a CL500 or SL500.

is that a white car? all the bootiful pics of the CL make me very very something something.

The amg's are good to build off of because they allready have some stronger parts in them in the bottem end of the engine. Just from a mechanical point of view.

We have done some work to S500's but find in that range the buyer really wants a special car. For example I do 1 S500 to Three S55's. We do alot of E55's I have a picture of a white one we just sold. 1999 E55 white with charcole and Bayberry interior.
The owner wanted the wood kit to match the Bayberry. It's is the wildest thing you ever saw. He did a 24 peice kit and the aim rest and Wheel and shift knob.

you see, now that you tell me that the AMGs have stronger mechanical things, it makes sense! there had to be some reason.
