63-AMG-63

In 2007 there were 143 CLK63 AMG's shipped to the USA. All of them were convertibles. But, of those 143, does anyone know what the color breakdown was? How many in Silver, How many in Black etc? Then...How many 2007 CLK63's were manufactured for the enitre wold by MB??? How many were Cabrio's and how many coupes? Color breakdowns? Just how rare are our cars? Thanks to all.

No one has any answers to this question? Hmmmm Am i the only one that cares??? LOL

BeltFedBob

Yes ;-)

If the answers are even available (usually they don't provide breakdown by vehicle color), your best best is to ask this over on the AMG Private Lounge. Good luck!

LOL...Thanks Bob. I guess I'll have to delete this thread. haha.

Hi Chappy. Yeah I'll have to see if I can get accepted into the AMG Lounge after i get the car. I had previously tried the main MB website as well as multiple Google searches without any luck.
Nice car by the way. I was at a dealership last month test driving an 06 CLK55 AMG. They had just sold an 06 E55 AMG wagon for $58K. It was 1 of only 64 shipped here to the States. Now that's rare! get this...the salesman said the car will do high 11's in the quarter!!! That's INSANE from a wagon.
Thanks for the info, and have a gd day. = )

Hi mate.

The figure for the CLK63 Coupe (367), is that the total that was made?

I only ask because I'm sure the US wasn't offered the Coupe, only the Convertible and the Black Series.

I, too, am curious as to how many of the 63 Coupes were made.

63-AMG-63

The US only received 143 CLK63's, all in convertible form. The Black series was only in the coupe version of course. How many BS wereshipped here...I don;t know. I did find a site that gave me all the USA AMG production numbers. It's called...topgearage.com.

That's why I was intersted in knowing the total number they produced for the world, as well as the color break down. My thinking was that...maybe these cars will be worth some serious dollars some day. Being that the 2007 was the first ever year that AMG manufactured and handbuilt each engine from scratch says alot. Plus lets say that 295 total convertibles were made, and of theose 50 were in Silver...well that's extremely rare.

So it just would be cool to know. I mean to have people come up to you and say...Oh wow awesome car, and to be able to say back..Hey thanks. Yup 1 of only 295 ever made, and 1 of only 50 in this color for the world, is pretty cool to me. = )

If no one else does before I get my car in May, I'll join the AMG Lounge, and see if someone there could answer the question, and report the info back here. As was suggested by Chappy. ; )

I think the AMG signature engines started in 2003. My 2002 AMG does not have the signature but my 2005 AMG does.

[quote=BeltFedBob;4030905] In 2006 Mercedes Benz went to AMG and said, instead of suping up our already made engines, we want you to start from scratch, and build an engine from the ground up. Do whatever you want. Design it, blueprint it, build it, and bring it to life. The result was the birth of the 2007 V8 63. The most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in the world. ; )

topgearage lifted those figures from the AMG private lounge, many have asked before if breakdown by color was available and the response has always been that the information is not available. Regarding the coupes listed for US CLKs,for which those production numbers represent, AMG has confirmed in the past that all CLK63 coupes listed in those figures were black series. Regardless these are some rare cars.

63-AMG-63

Hey BB63.
Well, if those are the numbers for the USA...63 convertible (143), and the 63 BS (367), what is Merc's output numbers for the rest of the world on both?

This may just be as tough a question to answer as is the question...How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop??? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW. LOL.

63-AMG-63

I hope everyone remembers that Tootsie Roll commercial.

BeltFedBob

Yes, between 141 and 799 depending on the color....

Standard deviation ;-)



But for an owl it takes three!

63-AMG-63

LOL Too funny Bob. ...Standard deviation. hahaha!

Good day to everyone. I just wanted to post this link to an awesome Clk63 review. It was published in 2006 by Richard Meaden and Gus Gregory. It even talks a little bit in the begining about MB stealing Bernd Ramler back from Porsche to create the "63" engine. You have to read this article. WAYYYYY COOL! Gives me a great feeling of ownership pride, and I haven't even seen my car yet. LOL

Anyway, let us all know what you think. I love reading everyones opinions.

Well, take care, and have a great day all.
