I'm not sure what kind of engine, suspension etc that he put into the replica. I agree that it cost lots of money but it looks like a fun project. It seems to be a nice job and the owner is proud of his work. The vin will always say "55 but if the engine etc are "63 parts, it's less of a poser to me than people who just smack on an AMG badge (which most posts here have done).

An AMG poser on the basis of an AMG... Hmm... Sounds like similar to some of the (cool) projects here..

BTW. Car registration tax is around 100% in Holland, so a used CLK 55 cost around 60.000$....

Not too sure where you get that from, but in Holland they have BPM (import tax) which is somewhere in the vicinity of 20-30%. Also clk55's cost around 17k Euro, nowhere near what you claim...

BPM for a car exceeding 270g/km = 31.780€

CLK55AMG from germany - 2005model / 76000km 17000€ (10000 damaged)

around 41000€ + parts + labour...

Dosent change the fact that if the basis is a 55, then it is not a poser, only a build that could have been seen in this forum as a cool thread...

With the 63 Black Series badge on the rear, 6.3 badge on the side, while being a 55 with (some) parts from a CLK Black Series. Really?

The definition of 'poser' is getting really complicated.

for that - you are right.

for the build - I still think it is a nice car - imagine what a mild (or less mild) tune of the 55 engine would do to the beast..
