This project started with a stock 20K miles 2004 CLK55 from my local Sugar Land MB Dealership.
It was a cpo car.
Thanks to all my MB friends who have offered tech support, help, tools, ideas, throughout this build.

I have the bug for a dedicated track car, so I'm selling this car.
Car is priced to sell.

Thanks to MB Vendors/Members: PTE, Kleemann (Cory/Brandon), DCT, M-power, JC Paint AutoBody in Houston, Shardul for his DAS help, KEV for his design ideas, and BBenz for the tuning help. I could not do this without your help.

I have a folder with all records since my ownership. Always maintained/serviced by either MB of Sugarland OR Kleemann.

Car passes tx yearly emissions with no issues.
I have clean Texas title in my name.
I have both keys and orig manuals.

I'll include the matte finish cleaner and detail finish with the car. The matte is IMHO easier to wash maintain than reg paint if washed weekly.

I just completed a 1000 Mile each way roadtrip to Kleemann in Co 2 weeks ago to have car inspected/re-dyno'd. Car ran flawlessly, and dyno'd the same as orig build 2 yrs ago.

I ran the car at the drag strip for the only time last week out of curiosity. This is not a race car, it has been my daily driver/weekend fun car. It ran: 12.586 @ 112.5 with street tires and lousy 2.1 60' in 1450 DA 77 deg F weather.

I just did a tune up on it yesterday. New Plugs, and have Dry Air Filters coming next week which will be included. I would expect low 12's with better driving better weather better tires.

Car is our rotation of 4 cars. I daily drive to/from work in 110 deg F houston weather in stop go traffic with ice cold ac, no overheating. Very comfortable daily driver.

I'm asking $19K, which with all the mods is an aggressive price in my opinion. You can part this out and have a free CLK if you choose.

I'm located in Houston, TX. No trades. No tire-kickers. Serious buyers only please.

You can view my build thread with loads of details about this car. Adult/enthusiast owned car.

Thanks MB World!

 

Nice car.
19k seems reasonable.

 

Thanks worth.

I'm driving some track car options tomorrow. So if anyone has int lmk soon.

Thx mbw!

 

Sold

 

Sad to hear this bad boy go. You did a great job tastefully customizing it.
I'm building a track car right now. (NA Miata)
What is your next track car project?

 

C5 z06.

Miata was on my short list, and one of scca best track car options.

I wanted a track instrument... Not daily driver.

 

I freaking love your headlight lights!! Does that come stock like that?!


W0w! So nice!!
