WTB: SLS black series

I’ve been in the market for an SLS black series for a couple years, I just wanted to post here to see if anyone knows of a car. I’m specifically looking for silver or other unique color (no black, no white, no yellow, no red). I drive my cars so I don’t care about mileage.

I know how low the production numbers are, I’m just posting here to create some visibility in the hope that I will land a car that I can enjoy.

thank you for sharing, but I believe this car is a regular SLS with the black series body kit

i've checked the vin (WDDRJ7HA4BA002718), while the title shows as a black series, I definitely don't see P98 in the list of equipment/option codes.. bummer, the spec is so good, even for a regular SLS.

I may have a sub 5k mile, silver/grey SLS BS for you. BTW, I recognize your handle... if you're same individual I'm thinking of, we both own CS's

There’s a silver one on autotrader. If you don’t care about mileage, just wrap it any color you want.

One and the same! Do we know each other from FChat? I still have my CS, 13 happy years of ownership with no intention to sell. Would love to talk more with you
