Congrats on the order. Look forward to pictures and your review. I'm assuming it won't be staying anything close to stock?

UPDATE:
I was just notified that MB will not be shipping the Fire Opal Red to the United States, Mars Red will now be the only red available....too bad I was really liking the Fire Opal and that was the color I specified. Looks Like I will be getting Mars Red now.

Sorry, not for sale. I am keeping it forever or until I pass it onto my son when he is mature enough to handle it...he's not even quite 5 yet so it will be a while. I am actually buying this C63 Black Series for my other 3 year old son, he will get the C63 BS when he is mature enough to handle it. Can't give one kid a BS and not the other, right?

I think Mars Red and Fire Opal red are the same color. They have the same paint code at least.

I'm not sure, my dealer got a specific phone call from somewhere up the food chain advising them that the color I specified was not available and that Mars red would be replacing it as the red option and what is my next choice for color preference. You might be right but the way I just decribed it sounds as if it was a different color.

Fire Opal Red and Mars Red appear to share the same 590 / 3590 clearcoat paint code.
Typical of MB to use different names in different market.

You don't have any info, it would be wise to pay for advertisement and not go this route. No one in the U.S.A has any info.

AMG Private Lounge fourms has the dealer buying guide with prices, paint codes, etc. I believe all of the allocations have been distributed and the dealerships have contacted customer's with deposits that will be getting one. Only 75 coming to the US. And only through AMG Performance Centers is the word.

So all allocations are
Not spoken for? Forums are known to start hype, they might have pricing or options from insiders. My dealer owns three amg dealers. I was first on list still no allocations. Why would others have theirs set up and others not?

As to your second question
My dealer owns three amg dealers. I was first on list still no allocations. Why would others have theirs set up and others not?
All I know is that everyone on the AMG boards that had a deposit has been contacted to spec their order and has been given a build.
If you haven't been told you're getting one, I would make my dealer call their AMG rep because at this point, they know who's getting one and who isn't. Europe and Asia spec cars have already begun assembly, the US within a couple of weeks.

No, no disrespect Carac. I 'm confused here. I was told there are only 3 or 4 allocations for the central or north region of U.S. I was told that they might be able to get one. It puzzled me when the dealer told me there was no way of knowing price or options. This can be true (price). The thing that confuses me is why they can't clear up the allocation problem, at least they know there count before 1-1-2012. Do you know anything about allocations for the north?

The reason your dealership has no allocations is either because they are not an AMG center, they are low volume and didn't sell any CLK or SL Black Series in the past.
I was also told that MB North America is very concerned with "flippers" they don't want these cars going out to customers or brokers who are going to relist them for huge premiums. I am told that MB ownership history is being considered for allocations, kind of how Ferarri handles new model releases. I assume that since I purchased a new BS back in 2007 and 3 other new MBs since then that may be one of the reasons I'm getting one.

The only way I can get one of four is by a V.I.P form and a memo . Hope this works,, was the base cost of the car 105k from forum? Oh i wonder if U.S cars get the carbon fiber included. If not I wonder what the option cost be. It's strange that they would want to charge to put in the seats. I was thinking of black for Black Matter.
