V12Godspeed

After many thoughts and opinions from my various friends I have come to the conclusion of selling my 1 of 1 E55, as most of you know her the EV12.

Plain and simple I dont have the time to drive her and honestly have lost interest in the racing scene. I picked up a 993 turbo which I took to limerock racetrack yesterday and boy is this fun. I have driven the EV12 probably 3 times in 4 months. She doesnt deserve this, I think she should see more action.

I am thinking of in the near future buying a 997 GT3, so time to make some room.

Here is the tricky part, do I sell her as she is? (with the V12 modification) or do I put her back to stock?

If I sell her as she stands what's a good asking price? Mind you I lost track of how much money this conversion cost me. She is putting north of 760rwhp... I put on new turbos GT3076,s and have not tried her at the strip. Last time she was at MIR with some ridiculously laggy 6262's she went 130's. I think she definitely has a mid 130 in her with the new set up. Any thoughts? Thanks for the input.

Sad to see it go. Hopefully it will find a good home

Hmm... I'll take it... Maybe. If I can sell my C5 S6, this might be a fun project to continue...

V12Godspeed

Trust me, there is nothing to continue!! She is ready to go.
Nothing would make me happy to know she went to a good person.

Can it be registered in Cali? Did you **** out the emissions controls on the V12?
Do you have a price in mind? PM?

Whats the miles on the car and the replacement motor? Is it street friendly?

The GT3 isn't a turbo, but it's still drool worthy. Badass road/track package IMO.

Good luck with the sale, you won't recoup the money you spent on the conversion but at the same time selling it stock you'll probably lose money on the labor to put it back...

hows the driveability?

V12Godspeed

Thanks for all the interest wow.

For CA people you need to put in cats in place. As it stands car does not have primary cats.

In terms of behavior car drives like any other car, no issues, zero driveability problems. I have taken my car on many long distance trips. She behaves like a true lady until you step on her the wrong way. It's all down hill from there.

Price? That's why you guys are here to help me figure out!!! It's not like you find an EV12 to compare to.

Chawkins, Car has 85K miles, very well maintained, The replacement motor was a Cl600 V12, 5.5 with 42K miles on it. Car is a unicorn, WHite with Pano, Merlot Gray leather with Merlot interior, Has every option except Ventilated seats.
Bixenons, Active seats, Navigation, etc.

Very street friendly, I would recommend high flow cats to who ever buys it.

V12Godspeed

Whats up buddy!! How is the 993?

No issues what so ever, who ever is close and is serious could drive it.

Let me know if you sell. I am your very first seriously interested buyer. AMG is my life. Car will go to a good home and you will see plenty vids over the net. PM sent.

chawkins2001

Would you consider nada retail in excellent condition plus 50% of the build sheet cost?

320 dreamer

hate to see you selling a great car!! maybe you could bring the 993 turbo to timmayfest so im not the lone vw there!

mertd93

Damn Jodi, can't believe you're letting it go, have to get a last ride before its gone. Whoever ends up buying it will be a lucky sob, a lot of time and $$ went into this car, def the most unique 211.

Time for a new crazy project!!

lol usually I've seen people asking for pics, carfax and various sorts of things here there are offers being made already. Damnn lol

For normal members could some pics be posted ? so we can just have a look at her. I've only seen that tiny video clip on youtube.

BenzoBoi

There is plenty of pics of this car all over, google Speedriven EV12...short story..

The other day I faced 2 BMW, 1 M5 and a tricked out 335 on the highway, it was midnight, perfect setting, no cars. They pulled up to my bumper and I let them have a rip...car was dirty and appears to be stock to the naked eye.

I gave the M5 and 335 kid the jump...I blew by them as if they were standing still. Next day the guy finds me on Youtube and sends me a message. He tells me "for a minute there I thought I hit reverse". Guy has it on video but will not post the video for weeks now. He had go pro and all...All I want to see is the video.

Key to the story is google it!

Clean title, clean car fax, no accidents, no story. I believe I am the 3rd owner. Clean pictures coming this weekend.

I have had a lot of PM's already...dont know if making a mistake here.

PACougar

You are, well I can't prove it but it was me and I had accomplished what you have I couldn't do it.

RedBullJnky

If you don't mind me asking? Where did you get your driveshaft after you twisted the first one? Loved that btw! I know I'm gonna need another one soon. And if its gotta go, that would definitely be the I want it to go.

V12Godspeed

Haha, Yes that was classic. I have a machinist here in NY and he built me one for about 700-800 bucks If I recall. Pretty much made it out of Chrome Molly. He told me if I twist this one he will refund me the money and build me a new one for free. Its holding out excellent.
