Wow, somebody had NO shame on this one. Sheisty sales technique - wise to correct that BEFORE you take photos and show the vehicle!

How do you like this one:
Is actually a damaged CLK55 which was restored into a 'Black Series'.

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).

And because I couldn't remember if I posted this one here or not (realized I didn't) you get a really good one!
It has the original 55 engine.

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...Originally Posted by clk63DK

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...

The definition of 'poser' is getting really complicated.

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..
