PM me know if you are interested and can send latest pics. Its 2011 with 25k miles and Mars red in excellent shape. Sparingly used. https://mbworld.org/forums/market/725756

Just so you are aware OP: this same exact “ Looking for Black Series” thread gets posted few times a year by various new people to the AMG world. Finding one itself takes time and passion; just ensure you know someone with the proper background for hunting down a Black. I highly recommend learning all you can on here about each Black before looking. The CLK63 BS for instance is a beautiful car, but far from a nice track machine like the 204 Black due to too much lag in the tranny and understeer. I am assuming you know of the head stud issue and poorly built timing spring set up, if not make sure to be ASAP

Sure I get a better rush from the quicker shifting as well as the downshift rev-match on the C, but the steering feedback is not as direct as the CLK; and as thrilling as it is to drive both, CLK is still more of a thriller to me than the C.
C63BS is a street car prepped for the track, as it pose as one with the much more aggressive aero & electronic support; CLK63BS on the other hand is a track beast in disguise as a street car, period correct setup for that era, and is just absolutely more raw than the C63BS.
With that said, I'm not letting either one go just yet, and will continue to dig into the different experience that I get from them.
Wishing OP the best of luck finding his dream spec as I did with both of mine.

Recently added the rarest C63BS in the state-side to my collection, while I still have my CLK63BS, too.. I can say that after examining both vehicle up close as well as driving both, back to back a handful of times, I can honestly say that the CLK is actually a much better built car- I literately took hours comparing the two side-by-side, bolt to bolt, weld to weld, and I find more flaws in the C that the CLK simply do not have..
