Wow..amazing car! The reality of modding, you only get a fraction of your money back.

I wonder if this car is sold....... for $32K not a chance. I wouldn't pay anything more than $20k for that car.

Thats funny that you posted that today Charlie , yesterday I just thought let me email the seller ( or the representative ) see if it has sold , today I get an answer that it is 80% sold !!! I have no clue what that means !

CharlyE500

I guess 80% could be:
80% of $32K = $25,600
My opinion, you never get the money back from the upgrade. If you plan to mod the car, don't expect better selling value when comes to sell. Its a very nice car with rare color but that money I can get 05 E55K original which people know how to fix instead of aftermarket upgrade.

Few years back, I had E500 with AMG pkg + E63 Quadexhaust and wanted to make it same performance as E55 with Kleemann SC kit, tune... turn out to be total cost $13K. I sold the car and bought the E55K about 3 years ago. Sold the E500 and got the E55 cost me about $17K extra. I would go with newer W211 E55 for spend $4k more than just upgrade aftermarket SC kit. W211 E55 not only the engine is different, the brake system is much better. Overall, I am happy with my 06 E55K, for the last 3 years, never spend any repairs on it, just oil and air filter changed. I bought ext warranty, not even use once.....damn..... so if anybody plan to get W211 E55, get 05 or 06 they are really reliable. knock on the wood.

Nice car. I would love to see/hear some vids!

Very rare, and if you're into tinkering, a cool toy to own and play with.

I'm a fan of the old e55. Business man's dragster.

Anyone else notice that there is one air intake under the hood? E55s have 2 don't they (or am I wrong)? I though my previous 2000 E55 has two hoses.

Did Kleeman change it to be one intake? Thoughts?

E55_GT3wheels

Also, those Kleeman wheels are nice. But they are very cheap. Kleeman does not make them anymore. I had them on my 2005 E55. They cost me $1200 new for all 4 wheels. Not forged and a bit heavy but look really nice. ANd very cheap.

And one more comment - I just picked up a mint condition 2001 E55 with 46K on the clock. Tectile gray and red/black interior for $15K. Super rare color combo and looks great.

The number of hoses doesn't matter. You can have one "intake" and out will be fine. I believe Kleemann uses the one airbox for their SC kit

CharlyE500

585whp sounds a lot........ maybe 520whp since it has every kleeman parts installed. I wonder if the car is sold or not....

Hard to believe a doctor actually make all the modifications on the car. Why? If I have the money, I would have upgraded the car in a few years when the W211 came out with the SC. Also, I don't believe in 585 whp either.....but it would be nice if I could buy it for a good price though. Would be fun to drive around

Judging by the miles and the cost of modification it wouldn't surprise me if a Doctor owned it. The Kleemann mods alone cost over $25k and it has less than 30k miles on it indicating that it was someones toy.

Sure anyone with cash could of owned/modified the vehicle but then I start to think why lie about a doctor? If your going to lie why not throw out the word "celebrity" or "professional athlete"...

Yes and for 10K less (around 20K) you can get a CL600 and spend 1K on a tune and by right there with a CL65, of course with a V12TT CL you only get 2 doors.

Love the V12TT

Mine has more mods but also more mileage and I'd sell it for less

Jay-Z would have cut it up and weld the hood on the back of the benz like he did with the maybach on his video

Cory @ Kleemann

You are correct- that's not WHP, it's crank HP. I know that car very, very well, seeing as how I built it and it was local to our USA headquarters until recently.

Pic of the car after we fit a set of MS-11's on it...

What's up Cory! Long time no talk. Hope you are doing well.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone knows where this car ended up and could potentially be for sale?

Btw- in its final rendition, the crank horsepower was around 700...give or take a few.

Thanks!
