Description:
Testing the waters with my c43 with a e55 swap, HPS supercharger, new 18 inch monoblocks and tires, eibach springs. The chassis has 100K+ miles on it with the 55 engine having mid ~82k miles. Have had the car for about 18 months. Bought from guy in North Carolina who had a local mechanic/tuner perform all the mods, except new wheels, tires, springs, reflective tint which i purchased when i got the car. New spark plugs oil change in last handful of months. Exterior is a 8 out of town as it has some dings and imperfections here and there. Interior was redone to match the oem black and blue two tone and also 8 out of 10. Upgraded stereo w/aux as well. Minor accident on carfax where delivery truck reversed into the front bumper causing a little damage but nothing major.
Full disclosure the engine hesitates at idle and when accelerating here and there, due to the mass airflow censor having issues with the supercharger. Runs great at higher speeds, on freeway, etc.. Apparently the control unit for this model cant handle the super charger. Reputable benz mechanic and tuner leisting autohaus out of Garden Grove, CA says it requires $4k of work to remove the supercharger and bring it back to stock, with the swap 55 engine remaining, and should run perfect. May do it myself, yet open to selling as is as well. No low ***** as i'll just keep it.
Serious inquiries only.

05 c55 silver, 98 Imperial Red C43
Car looks really good, its an exact copy of mine looks wise and almost specs wise. I have the 5.4 swap but no supercharger.
My engine is from a 02 ml55. This car will pass smog no problem as it doesn't require any modifications to run and uses the stock ecu.
When you say 100+k mileage, what exactly is the number?
The interior looks really clean also, were the seats redone??
If you click my name on the left and under my gallery youll see my car
