CLK55 AMG project car

This car is a 2001 CLK55 AMG.
This model is Mercedes muscle car.
I've owned and customized several versions of this car. Including the convertible.
This short video shows what has been done so far, and what's left to be done.

hey man, I am looking into buying one with 130km. how reliaible has these been in your experience and would you recommend to buy one? it seems they dont hold value at all .

I've had four of them as a hobby. Bought them for cheap, put 2-3K into them, then sold them for a little more than I put in.
Every inch of these cars has some kind of cool technology. They are just so smooth and fun to drive. Especially the AMGs. But even the 320 is fun.
But they were not designed to hold up for 20 years.
If you're a mechanic, and can work on it yourself, they're great. Easy to work on, but none of the parts are cheap.
If you'd need to take it to the shop every time it needs something, I'd say no.
Good luck man.

How’s the car going?

Actually, it's gone. Someone who saw this video made me an offer that I couldn't refuse.
I really like those AMG CLKs though. I restored and modded 4 of them over the years. I'm sure I'll get another at some point.
