My folks live there.....could be a possibility at some point. Perhaps JAME55 would meet me there and give me a ride in his S8.

 

sounds like a plan if I have the car very much longer- if JAME55 comes, he can decimate both of us!

 

Carl please read your pm's

 

Read and PM'd back!

 

Two day old post, and I have been working all night so I shouldn't be posting at 1:30 am. Still isn't this guy pushing a little to hard for a deal he has no vested interest in (sorry project c55 - but everybody has an angle, don't they? I've seen too many overeager enthusiats get burned this way not to at least mention it). If this is legit, then it is a great deal, and "Projectc55" has a hell of a lot more history on this board than I do. I hear warning buzzers, though.

 

keep up the good work Noobie! You sound like a hater who wished he owned a V8!

 

I know Project C55 and he wouldnt do anything to harm another enthusiast. He's a cool guy and is just trying to help out. I know it looks shady but its not. Dont sweat it Freddy.

Thanx guys!


Your name fits your billing(Musk RAT whatever)

I'll even give Freddy my home address,job address,hse phne #,cell phne #(which he has) anything he needs to show him I have nothing to gain. Ask Steve(C558mo) who helped him locate a 5.5l motor for his now 5.5l C43?

Why does the ebay listing say s55? Isn't it just a 500 motor?

 

If it was a 500 motor then the listing would have stated S500. The S55 has a 5.5 liter AMG engine installed.

I wish I had the da** money for this thing. BUT I am glad that at least someone from the forum can benefit from this!!

+2 Carl is good people.

 

I'm not hes helping me a lot. I'm hoping everything goes well and the engine is in good condition.

 

Freddy, if you get this, who is going to drop it in for you? Or do you do that type of work?

 

I really havent tought of that quite yet, what i was gonna do is keep my original engine for a little more time then do the swap. I know some one that could do it for me but it might cost me $1,500. I cant do the type of work my self

 

aHHH its funny how we all own benzes yet we're all broke ..lol...but then again - that could be the reason for it lol....damn if i had the money rite now..i would def do it...

 

LOL!!! Or making us broke!

 

Thanx Chap!
I'm always willing to help a fellow member!
