2005 Mercedes E55 AMG
FS: 2005 Mercedes E55 AMG, black/black, 630/680

2005 Mercedes E55 AMG
Black/Black
115k miles
630whp/680wtq

High compression engine (10k miles or so)
- CL500 block, ML55 pistons, E55 (k) crank/rods
- ARP rod bolts
- “Stage 2” ported heads
- ARP head studs
- SL500 oil pump
Built transmission (5k miles or so)
- Alto Red Eagle clutches K1, K2, K3, B2
- Kolene Steels K1, K2, K3, B2
- Alto Clutches B1, B3
- Alto Steels B1, B3
- F1 & F2 Freewheel Clutches
- Machined Pistons K1, K3
- Brand new conductor plate, filter, connector
MBH longtube headers
82mm throttle body
180mm ASP crank pulley (triple pinned)
83mm UPD supercharger pulley
UPD belt wrap kit
ID1000 injectors
AEM 320 fuel pumps
Custom billet fuel hat (40amp capable)
E85 tune (RaceIQ/Anthony Lawshee)
3” stainless midpipe with magnaflow muffler, all cats and res deleted, stock mufflers
Eurocharged heat exchanger
5 gallon trunk tank with ¾” line, Seaflo bilge pump
Coolingmist meth/water injection, single CM7 after intercooler
Zeitronix ZT-2 datalogging with ZR-2 multi gauge

Exterior 7.5/10
Interior 9.5/10 (floor mats aren't the greatest)

I would not consider this car show quality. There are a couple curb rashes on the stock wheels, a scratch near the fuel door, and some scuffs on the front bumper. The car has a light oil leak I haven’t bothered to track down.. likely originating from the front cover area. Starts perfectly, even in frigid temps (despite the ethanol) and runs smoothly. AC could use a charge and the HVAC control doesn't come out of auto (just a head unit). The tint on the back window is bubbling. I've really racked my brain to think of all the issues... I'll update if I come up with any more but these are pretty simplistic.

I would address the fuel system if the car is left on ethanol, needs bigger lines and ideally a return style system for more pressure consistency. The tune is old enough and I’ve messed with enough content since, where I would consider a retune.. especially if the fuel system is redone.

I’m only selling to help pay off my house this year. I'll be back with a V12tt Mercedes soon enough

$15,500… pretty firm, no trades.

Why would you keep your money in the engine and trans, that's a terrible spot. I usually keep money in a safe. Good call!

I keep my money at the bank. My pocket too, but not that much stays in there.

A bunch of us were along for the ride when he built it. Questioning his claims at this point seems disrespectful after all the effort he put into this.

You have a pic of the car on a Dyno. Did you lose the printout? Either way I wouldn't trust any Dyno numbers. It's how it performs at the track that will give the info you need.

I'll give you 1k over asking price, if you can get it to the track and show its a 10.8 or lower car. I've been considering another e55 to enjoy time to time again, and would rather drop extra on a proven car and skip doing the work this time around. It's a fun platform.

He said he trapped 134 with a 2.2 70 ft but he don't want to show that either .

I won't be ragging on the car with a fuel system that needs attention.

You don't have to believe me... don't buy the car.
