An SL65 BS and sports trivia anyone?

I snapped this pic at an AMG Performance Center in Arlington, VA. Care to guess it's owner?

He's been trying to sell for years now.

It's prob not selling well due to the fact he put a custom sound system which he he butchered the rear inside of his car and the trunk area as well as that custom paint job. I personally thought that his car was a wrap job, but I'm thinking he may of repainted the whole car.

Seeing that it's only 175 were only shipped to the US out of the total 300, someone interested in a SL65 BS is prob looking for complete OEM as a colectable

Yeh, and I understand his initial asking price was $285k. I was also told it's used mostly by his father...
