@Lou856 Let's go to Krate Cars and Coffee in Wesley Chapel on Sat. It's 8-11am.
@FrenchfelgenHi, please tell if economy shipping is done via ocean freight? If yes then I wonder if ship should arrive to LA? Thank you.
I guess that black bar behind the AMG logo can't be disassembled, right? I guess the only reasonable shipping option to US would be via ocean freight.
Beautiful car!! It seems its leather is nicer than on W140 S600...
@PeterQvortrupThank you!! I didn't know they existed. Please could you share a link to that photo gallery. I'd like to see more pics if they exist. PS: on the pic is it the LWB or SWB car?
Did Koenig Specials made wide-body 4-door W140? So far I've only seen coupes and convertibles.
@McHagus please post pics of these wheels on your W140 later.
@zachmac I think BS came with different wheels. The only Mercedes cars I know that had ET60 from that era were R-Class and ML-Class but they had different wheels. Other Mercedes cars normally had ET in between high 20s and low 40s. But I'm not sure I know about 100% of Mercedes wheels.
Haven't seen W220 19" AMG wheels with ET60. I've only seen ET44 and ET46.
I met with the seller today and I saw this car. Very nice example of CLS55, very clean car inside and outside, lots of love and funds spent on this car! It looks great in person!
@1man1engine Understood. I just PM'd you.
You wanna bring it to Armature Works tomorrow morning? There will be a car meet there 8-11am.
Very nice wheels! Mercedes indeed produced pretty interesting and unique wheels for their fast coupes like these Alphards and also Turbines for SLR. If my SL R230 didn't have its 2-piece 19" AMG wheels, I'd definitely get wheels like these Alphards.
Veeery nice color combo!! GLWS!
I just bookmarked Igor's website as I may need to work on my interior trim later. Please tell me if there are folks who reupholster seats and leather panels? I mean not just fixing tears and holes, but redoing it completely? I know there are some in Europe and around, but what about US? Especially if there are any folks in south Florida around Tampa etc.
@Stathios Thank you for this clarification!
It may look good on my dark blue W140 sedan, but I already have 3 sets of wheels for this car. Wife would kill me lol! 🤣 Please could you do pics without that noticeable refection? When they are standing next to garage doors all I see is trees. Regarding welded repair - what usually happens with it in the long run?
@RufYellowBird Thank you! Please tell if it's intergrated with the existing stereo system? Also could you please remember the model? I'd like to install something similar for my CLS W219. Currently I have an aftermarket 7" unit, but I'd like to have bigger screen.
Hey, folks. I tried to search here, but didn't find any info about its current head unit. I'd like to know what's the name of the mark and model and what is the mounting frame. It looks like it's 10" or at least 9". Thanks.
@albanianbenz That's what I thought. Probably it's because delays in logistics. They had to ship all 600s from Europe.
@albanianbenz Thank you. I wonder if they actually were unsold leftovers and MB simply sold them as next year models?
@Drkkrkn Yup, if you be there you may tag me here. There will be definitely many car events this summer, sometimes it's like multiple events during the same day. Normally I prefer going to car shows because they have more cars but it depends. I'd like to visit a Mercedes car meet, but not sure if there are any around me. Never heard about it...
@Drkkrkn On demo days they pick few cars from their museum, do a lecture about them or about some events or races where they raced and then they start them and do few laps on their improvised raced track and then they park them, open hoods, trunks, doors so everyone can have a close look. This week on 28th there will be another demo day where they bring 55' 300SL. Next week will be dedicated to making of Ford GT. There will be some nice vintage Ford GT cars there. On June 4th there will be "Birth of the Ford GT" event. I'll be there on June 4th, not sure about this saturday.
@Drkkrkn Thanks! I just scrolled down - I see you have a nice collection of Benzes there. I have few Benzes too, but not as much as you do. And Aldan is about 45-50 mins from where I live in Delaware. I'll be in Simeone museum which near PHL airport on June 4 - on that day they will be doing another demo day there. I highly recommend visiting that place. I you ever go there on demo days it would be nice to have a quick chat about Benzes and cars in general.
Any W140/C140 actually made in 1999 or they all made in 1998? Car looks nice. I guess paint gauge could provide more light but it's too late. I have 97 (actually made in 96) S600 with the same interior color as this one and I'd like to have a center armrest from later models like this one.
@Elkman1 Thank you! I only tried to keep my camera away from the shelf and I like Benzes. I'm glad you enjoyed photos and video! :) And now you got a great V12 Big Body Benz there! ;)
@Boatymcboatface yeah, it may be indeed a pivotal point for future C140 sales! :)
@dino24 I lost hope once I saw the car! 🤣 It's not that average 140 Benz that needs some love and $$ to fix here and there. I wish my W140 was in such condition but I seriously doubt I'll ever restore it to such level.
Congrats @Elkman1 and @600SEC_AMG!!!
The ball drops in 10!
The history is happening right now! I'm glad to witness it! I'm pretty sure in 5 years from now this baby will be sold for a much bigger money!
Just 13 mins to go! I hope today someone will take this big baby to their garage! :D
Saving original parts is pretty wise! I didn't do it before with my previous car and now after learning that lesson I'm trying to save all original parts as well. So It's great this beauty comes with all that original stuff. Tomorrow it should be hot in here! 😉
High res pics are awesome! It took me 5 clicks to zoom the first pic to 100% but it's worth it!
@Elkman1 Thank you! I tried! 😉
Hey everyone! Here is my video of this beauty! Since links can't be posted here yet please copy and paste in your web browser: https://youtu.be/1VVqUs3sbN4 @600SEC_AMG please could you add this video to the description of the listing or ask MB Market team to do that. I think it would be great if video was embedded in the listing description so people don't have to copy and paste links. Thanks!
I've seen the car! Fellas, all I can say, you should see it in person! Gorgeous car!!
Interesting auction... Early M113K G55. No underbody pics, no close-up pics of all typical "problematic" areas (like @BrownWater wrote), no copies of service records (just mentioned), interior pics are small end pretty dark. So many potential questions. I'm curious how it ends...
Wow! Very nice car for this money! I expected more bidding activity in this auction. @Gorkan88 Congrats! Please tell where are you going to move the car?
Fellas, I did a quick virtual overview about this car: https://youtu.be/TyDUFJ2T6J0 In short, this is a very unique CLS55 with some RENNtech parts that they no longer make. You could buy their M113K package and other performance upgrades, but exhaust, CF exterior stuff and interior upgrades are no longer available on RENNtech website. Building a CLS55 to match this one will definitely cost a lot and this car is already built and maybe you only need to add just few more things or leave it like this. I have CLS55 with RENNtech components but this car looks better. So you should seriosly considering getting this car. I wish I lived close so I could see it in person and probably make another video. If you buy it and move it close to DC or Philly or South New Jersey please let me know.
@Youngclassicamg Thanks! I just put on my headphones and watched your first video once again starting at 7:16 when you actually started driving it. It's hard to say if I hear a hum noise or it's just a loud exhaust or a mic or an overall noise. When I picked my CLS55 it was equipped with RENNtech headers and Meisterschaft catback exhaust. That Meisterschaft exhaust literally gave me a headache and I couldn't drive my car for more than like 20 mins, so I purchased a used stock CLS55 catback and put it on the car. Drone/hum noise was gone immediately. Idk if RENNtech is better. I have RENNtech catback on my other car and it sounds very close like to the stock exhaust meaning no drone at all. Anyway, I'm not complaining at all here.
Is there any exhaust drone noise especially when you cruise at normal cruise RPM i.e. 1700-2000?
Anyone here?
Sold or not sold? o_O
Fellas, GLWA! These facelifted CL65 are really beutiful cars though my fav color would be silver. Whoever wins it please tell which state it goes. TIA! @thembmarket is there any way to see how many ppl are currently watching any car here?
This car is a beast!!!! I have CLS55 with some RENNtech goodies but this car has much more RENNtech goodies and much less miles than my CLS55. Here is my car when I still had Meisterschaft exhaust but later I removed it and put a stock exhaust back: -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5431wKXUrE <- I guess you'll have to copy and paste this link in your browser if you want to watch it...
@CarNerdThank you! It would be great to have M279 with individual coils. It's indeed interesting Mercedes updated its engine in 2012 for SL and G cars but kept good old M275 here. It's not big deal though. Both engines are great!
I'm curious if this CL comes with M275 or M279? I doubt it has M279 but maybe someone knows better than me.
@Armenian83K is low miles? :) I guess this is a driver's AMG car, not a garage queen. Since wheels were replaced by a previous owner I think we'll never know the story about original wheels.
