2006 S65 AMG registry.
I recently acquired a 2006 S65 AMG. Given that this was the last year for the W220 and the first year for the S65, these are kind of unique. With a production of only 427 they are also kind of rare (I realize other editions of certain Mercedes may be rarer). So, I decided to compile a registry of all 2006 S65s I can identify.
I have compiled this in an Excel file. Is there somewhere on this site where I can upload it? Also, if you'd like to have your car in the registry, let me know. So far I have identified twelve of them.

It was only available in the US in 2006. So I guess worldwide it's not as unique as I thought, but still, with 427 made in 2006, it's rare. I'd be curious to know how many S65s were made in 2004 and 2005 worldwide.
The 6.0 liter V-12 (275?) was available in the US in 2005 in the SL65 AMG and the CL65 AMG.

To give you an idea, there are currently 91 S65 AMG's on the road, in the UK, at the moment.
Of those, 64 are 221's and 27 220's
For the CL65's 24 215's and 23 216's
Still pretty rare I would say. Im surprised so many made it across the pond. Are you sure they aren't global production figures?

The production number always quoted for the 2006 S65 is 427 and no mention is ever made of that being just those sold in the US. So I assume it's worldwide.
I wish I could get people interested in my registry. The dozen cars I have listed in it are mine and eleven others I've found for sale on the internet.
I have been in the car hobby for about 40 years and know that for people who have an interest in cars that are more than about 30 years old, if a particular car was rare, it's very interesting to have a list of all known examples. Thus my efforts to compile a registry.

Snapped this last Saturday...
Heading over to my soccer match. Not the best photo, I know. Have a rear shot but don't want to post another's license number. Gray on Gray with the dark gray AMG wheels, nice ride! I knew it had to be a rare beast.

Bringing this back to the top.
My registry now accounts for 58 of the 427 2006 S65s sold in the U.S. Send me a private message if you want me to add your car to the list. I won't include your name in the list though I'd like to have your location, along with other information.
I also still would like to know, is there some place on this forum I can upload my file (Excel)?

I'm planning to building a registry for the 65 cars. (S65/SL65/CL65 and G65) and have already registered the domain http://mb65amg.com. I'd be interested in hearing from members with these cars as I build this registry. For now, I think that the most important information will be
Year: Model: Vin # (last 5 digits should be fine): Exterior Color: Interior Color : Location
I might try to maintain a history in the future by tracking ownership change date and locations.
Pictures will also be great.
Thanks

Alabbasi,
I have already begun a registry for the 2006 S65 AMG (I have had a 2006 S65 for a little over a year). I have accounted for 63 of them. I have photos for about the last 20 I have found, plus CarFax reports for about 30 of them. I have attached my file.

Do you have any more photos, especially of the interior.
How many miles are on it? What city and state are you in? What options does it have? What is the build date? It's on the label on the driver's side b-pillar.
