Ok, lets start with the outside, everything has been pretty much been left alone except for the wheels. The rims are from a 2003 CLK55 and are real AMG's. The fronts are 225/45/17 at 7 1/2" and the rears are 245/40/17 at 8 1/2".

Nice little chrome tip on the new exhaust system and 214,000 original miles on it. We are the original owners.

The interior looks as new as it did the day it was made. No dash cracks and the seats have always had sheepskins on them until the pictures were taken. Every light and function in the car works. The windows have 20% tint on them.

200K+ and it keeps rolling with absolutly no leaks! It had a new chain less than 1000 miles ago, the car does have a/c but I took the compressor off to do the timing chain and am looking for a new condensor, so I haven't put it back on yet. Gotta love the extra 4HP.

coming soon...
