Share our experience, enthusiasm and passion. We will see about the rest...I have been told it was not possible previously. As you can see, there were many thousands of cars that left the factory without these engine plaques.

Personally, I think these are some of the best cars AMG has made. For the United States, it was the 1995 C36 that started it all - from a production car standpoint. This enthusiast group can be the means to express your pride in your AMG, never mind the fact that each of our engine builders remains unknown.

One orphan is all you need to qualify.

Count me in. The C43 engine doesn't have one nor does the S55 engine that is going in.

To make you feel better, I will accept your CLK 63 Black Series as a form of **unusual** "punishment"!

Sign me up Chappy...

Just like yours, my 2002 CLK55's underhood torque factory is an orphan... Such a shame that a work of art like that remains unsigned.

I was told once that there are no records of who built our engines back in those days.

If that is right, can we petition the factory for some type of recognition plate? You have pull with the AMG Private Lounge guys, right?
