Those are not the stock headers. As soon as you fired it up, I knew the exhaust was not stock. I love an M156 with headers. The O2 sensor wires are like that because it needs harness extenders for the rear sensors. That looks to be an American Racing Headers setup. Had the same on my W204. I miss my W204 C63 every day. That CLK63BS likely has around 460 whp
That looks like Weistec complete exhaust. Definitely not cheap , over $4K
@@czarekaj1098 definitely not the weistec system. Those have a v-band near the collector and shorter runners. ARH has longer runners and even uses the green O2 sensor extenders. Like I said, I had the ARH system. And that system isn’t cheap either. $3500
I also think that the exaust is not original, i did not see the original cat. convertors
Bet that thing sounds like NASCAR when you step on it. Thats one thing I love about AMG Benz cars with the V8, you'd think with the overhead cams and stuff they would sound more exotic, but no its just a slightly different riff on that high revving, thundering bass American V8.
Very similar exhaust to my 383 LS1. Headers, high flows, into merge, hotdogs, into rear mufflers. I have an extra 2 hotdogs to make 4 though. Yeah not stock there. Knew it when I saw it and knew it's done right🙄
Remembering how Tyler Hoover was overwhelmed with emotion driving that Mercedes convertible worth millions in California. Car wizard had similar emotions talking about this car. Then he drove it. Probably called Tyler up and said to come see this car. Tyler probably came over and they both cried together seeing the greatness of this car.
It’s pronounced jo-a-kim 😊
modern mercedes cars are junk tho.
"they both cried together seeing the greatness of this car."
Someone needs to make this into yaoi.
"We don't have cheap fans in here"
I'll see myself out then...
😆 golden
I was expecting an OnlyFans reference, if I'm honest.
I'm a little disappointed this is just doing the 1 or 2 minute commercial. Guess it's a youtube rule.
lol
I do not understand how someone can give the Wizard a thumbs down 3 minutes into the posting of the video. Wizard your posts are always awesome.
It's just angry Equinox owners.
Probably a bot or a troll done the down votes.
Someone doesn't realize that if they don't like it, don't watch. Not to worry. This video is about to get swamped with thumbs-ups to further trivialize trolls like that. 1.1k thumbs up to 18 thumbs down. Irrelevant trolls.
Probably a BMW fan....
This happens on every Chanel I watch
I hate it
Why watch it and give a thumb down
Just leave the Chanel and move on
Dickheads
Great video again wizard
The sound, the fenders, peak Mercedes.
Back when the AMG badge actually meant something
@@313soldier313 yup exactly now it’s meaningless
The CLK is one of the most beautiful Mercs out there
VORNADO. Gotta love the Wizard supporting a great local Kansas company. Good job Wizard.
I’ve had a Vornado van in my shop for almost 25 years. Great product!
That's really well kept machine during these crazy times the value of this gem is through the roof
508 HP @ 6800rpm and 465 Lb-Ft @ 5250. The specs you quoted Car Wizard are for standard CLK63 AMG
@Dominick It was 500 HP not 508 as i mentioned. Mercedes is notorious for underrating the HP and Ft-Lb on their cars. Regular CLK63 AMG was rated at 475 HP. This one in the Car Wizard shop is the Black Series. Their prices are now sky high. Another example is 2009 MB SL65 AMG Black series.
What a teaser at the end 😂
Anyway, 55k miles, I'm impressed!
straight blue balled us wtf lol
I remember that car being one of Jeremy Clarkson’s (of Top Gear fame) favorite cars at the time it was released. He had his sideways with smoke coming from the rear wheel wells…and it looked amazing! A VERY nice car…
If you're watching the wizard then you are a car guy and should know who Jeremy Clarkson is without the ( of Top Gear fame) lol. I will admit I love his new show Clarkson's farm and has nothing to do with cars or anything Grand tour related.
I much enjoy Clarkson (of Top Gear fame) as well
I read Clarkson’s review for the CLK 63 AMG Black. He commented that the only issue he had with the car is that the ride was too hard. So for his CLK 63 AMG Black, he got someone at Lotus to tune the ride.
@@rockstar6790 possibly just put standard AMG clk springs on it. Ideal for the Highway
Loved the Mrs. Wizard interior appraiser. She knows the things you touch and feel, Wizard knows it's guts.
Probably my favorite AMG
has upgraded long tubes and looks like 02 extended wires. So it will also have a tune.
you know everything
Ya, it’s not stock. The previous owner loved driving it. I can’t remember if he bought it like that or did that himself.
You bet! "Ride of the Valkyries" is a tune, right?
I agree, thank you Marco for letting the Wizard show us your beautiful car.
Wouldn't be a Car Wizard video without the garbage truck backing up beeping sound in the background. Great car!
These NA 6.3s sound SO GOOD! I've seen quite a few of these Black Series in my area, but ironically I don't think I've ever seen a black one.
That fan product placement is just funny and well done. Now I want some good quality Fans
Love the short intermission for shop fans😂glad you’re involving your employees in your videos must be a one of a kind job to have you as a boss
Congratulations @Car Wizard for having people all over usa calling you to ask if you want to have a look at their car. You are one talented and lucky mechanic. Not a lot of mechanics get to have a look at all those unique cars (including that FILA edition car)
I just love how real these older cars are..no fake bullshits, fake exhaust, noise, vents etc.
Just to let you know, if you have any paid product placements, sponsorships or endorsements, you have to set the option for the video that it includes it or you can get in trouble with RUclips (and there are people out there who will report videos for the fun of it). So the Vornado thing could get you in trouble, even though you acknowledge in the video that they gave them to you.
I was wondering about that...
@@ElwoodPDowd1970 Yeah, don't want Wizard getting in trouble over something so simple... RUclips is definitely not helpful in situations like that (they deleted almost 200 of my videos just for getting reported, and never even told me why, which lead to me just quitting youtube)
Clarkson made this thing a legend, even before it made here to the US
Is that the one where he burnt the rear tires off it in about a half hour or less. Of course he was driving the thing like a mental patient so that wasn't the cars fault.
@@pursang833 A Legend in a good way
Hey Wizard & Mrs Wizard, wow, your quality fans are flying off the floor, gotta keep your mechanics cool & happy!!! 👍😎
Fans blowing around already ultra hot air doesn't help.
Time to invest and install real air conditioning systems.
@@BA-gn3qb spent almost 40 years in Dallas-Fort Worth area and never saw an air conditioning shop. Now in Southwest Florida and still haven't seen an air conditioned shop including the local Infinity dealer. I imagine an air conditioned shop pays for it by charging the customers 200 bucks an hour for labor.
@@stevewhite3424 - Have you watched any of the Car Ninja videos? Aka Velocity Garage.
He has an nice setup and ultra clean garage. Not a metal barn.
@@BA-gn3qb building would've had to have been built with air conditioning already in mind. Wizard bought an old warehouse building for a pretty nice price. As the other guy said, no autoshops have AC, it would cost too much money with all of the cars in and out of the shop and hot air moving in. Makes the AC work harder to keep things cool. Just not fiscally possible in a large shop like Wizard's
@@RainmakerXBooty - What about winter? I bet that he has heat.
And the doors are open for less than a minute to get a car in or out.
A/C in worth the investment.
My CLK 55 AMG has an engine built by the same employee. I’ve had no major problems even after 19 years and 135,000 miles. Great work!
Had the pleasure of driving one of these several times a few years ago and I will never forget the experience that this car delivers. Truly my favorite driving experience to this day.
thank you for the revs.
sounds puuurfect!
real nice car.
When Wizard hit the gas pedal the first time & put his hands on his face & went, "Wooooooo!" HILARIOUS!! LOL!!!!!
Wizard and Mrs Wizard love u guys !!! Thanks for all the videos !!!!
Looks like it just rolled out of the factory, minus the minor imperfections. Nice vehicle!
Looks like a proper wash and quick polish will take care of it..
"Lets go around this boring murcielago.. This is the ticket right here.. Mercedes."
Loved that little quote. This guy is so likable.
One of my favorite I-can't-afford-it cars. Thanks for featuring this one, Wizard. It is truly stunning!
Hahahahaha the OMG bar! Nice one, Mrs. Wizard. :D
Wizzie loves revving that CLK 63 AMG, just seeing him just nerding out on the engine!
Another great wizard video.
I love the Car Wizard. Cracks me up sometimes but most importantly... The man knows his vehicles...
Beautiful. These are appreciating like crazy right now.
Good job on the production side. Keep working on these little tidbits like the fans, and wizards' exhaust reactions. Keeps things light hearted, and we all could really use some of that about now.
So nice to see one of these that's been used :)
I keep expecting to hear”WEEEZARD”
Or for the wizard to catch Tyler humping the quad pipes🤪
🤣 🤣
😂😂😂
I mean....... the fans acting is just worthy of an academy award isn't it! 😀
There is no acting here Just simple delivery of his integrity and art
I hear Cuomo's award is available.
Wow, what a beautiful car! I can't imagine how amazing it is to drive
Awesome condition for a car going on fourteen years old. Thanks Wizard!
The engine builder (Joaquin Schmidt) on this car did my S55 AMG's M113K! It had nearly 198,000 miles on it when I sold it.
@Dominick sold roughly May 2021 for $14,500. Daddy doug refused to let me put a reserve on the car with carsnbids so I sold it privately. I picked it up for $3400 in April 2020, but did over $10k in documented maintenance. I had a manilla folder containing all the work since new.
Amazing videos as always and love the team
My friend just broke his front bumper and he found out their is only 5 left in the country n they are $2000 cause it’s special edition since it black
That actually doesn’t seem bad considering only 5left. I would have guessed 20k
Wait till he discovers the price of a single wheel, if he can find one..
Front bumper is unique to the Black cos it needs to match the fender flares which aren't on the standard models. 2k is actually very reasonable given its value and rarity.
Thats problerly the fastest the mechanics have ben all day :p
Amazing car, its a really rare sight, and the sounds in general AMGs can make is so awesome.
Impressive indeed! Thanks for the video.
"the 'oh my god' bar" lolol
love this car so much, I daily drive CLK 320 and this is the top performance model of my car w209
...and that was the last time anyone saw the wizard again.
Thanks for devoting literally 2 seconds of video time on letting the viewers hear the engine and to watch driving footage. SOLID. But I guess we did get to hear your voice explaining how awesome it was for the length of the entire video, so I guess it's even. Wow.
Love it!
A great episode of Top Gear with Jeremy driving that car..
Now were talking business! Finally one! :D Actually have been driving one black series, its a mean beast at the racetrack!
YOU NEVER GOING TO SEE A BMW LIKE THAT.....ITS A BEAUTY....LOVE MB
Does the building have exhaust fans to vent the heat?
I almost bought one of these in 2012 with 65k miles for $51k. Instead I was stupid and bought a 2009 BMW E92 M3 because I wanted a manual transmission. Regrets and the M3 later had rod bearing issues and needed a new motor.
Mercedes V-8 tradition: it's never too late for an H pipe!
What is that about backseat weight? Isn't it like 500HP?
Long tube headers were NOT stock. Just from you revving it you can tell it's missing a few emissions parts 😅 Also, did you remove the front belly trays? If not then it's definitely missing some pieces.
I was thinking it had to be missing it’s front undertray, the way the ducting we could see was made requires the undertray to flow air properly. I bet the car struggles to cool in Florida summers.
@@bryancohn9406 I would certainly put a wind fin of some sort under there knowing it'll be in FL.
'Assuming there isn't an engine splash shield for it anymore, An air fin or two = up to 50° cooler and no fuel vapor locking issues.
Fuel boils at such a low temp.. Also wrap the fuel lines if they aren't upgraded for heat.
That was the best sponsorship I've seen. Now gonna look at those fans living in Texas
Vornadoes are awesome fans. You wont be disappointed.
Definitely one of the coolest cars I've towed. A local jeweler to me had one, I had to to tow it to the local Mercedes dealer for general maintenance and a new set of rear tires. The best thing is his front vanity plate was n4spblk
Naturally aspirated motors deffenatly the best sounding beasts.
Luvly car Wizard!Gonna njoy this 1!🌶💪👁👀👁💪💪
I got to drive one of these during the time I was a valet. I fell in love with the exhaust note on these cars. Amazing
@Yippee Skippy I 100% would only drive the car 2 to 3,000 miles a year if I had one just because of how loud it is 😂
@Yippee Skippy but you got to admit the muscle car sound that comes from that German car is insane
Who knew that the Wizard produces low budget commercials that air on local TV after Midnight?
"Hand made AMG goodness" 😀 nice. Very nice car. Great video!
I worked as a valet in college and someone drove up in one of these. It was a high school graduation present. It's the only time I've ever seen one in person; the car is amazing.
As the owner of a "normal' CLK AMG 5.5 this is the holy grail for me. Amazing car. Unfortunately only handful here in Australia and they command crazy money when they turn up for sale. I think Clarkson owned one of these. There was an even more mental version of the CLK called the CLK DTM, sold in Europe only from memory.
Very impressive car and video…..Well done!
Sweet ride
2:05 I bought a car & made that drive, but from Seattle, Washington. It took me 5 days & 3800 miles, but I had always wanted to drive *COMPLETELY across the country.*
That thing is gorgeous!!!
The acting just gets better and better - gotta be Oscar contenders next year!! 😂😂
Joachim is pronouced Yo-Ah-Keem. I lived 13 years in Germany and I speak German
In Dutch it would be Yo-Chem :P
@@marks8068 I had a girlfriend that is Dutch way back then. Hard language to learn!
I am german and it is more Yo ach him!
@@stefan6412 ok. Seems like the same. Keep in mind "him" didn't have the E pronunciation like Germans say it...
Him, i is more like "eh"
Cool to see his nameplate again! He was the builder for my M113K engine in my former E55 AMG.
05:59 top of the line Mercedes yet it still has all those blank switches
That's an awesome car, love it
Is that exhaust an x pipe early on and then an h pipe later in the exhaust?
Good video made me laugh🤣🤣🤣. Car is a beast 👍
Now THIS IS A TOTAL BEAST! Total sweet ass ride!!
This guy and Doug Demuro need to do combo series. Great seeing all underneath everything and hearing the mechanic's perspective, to follow through with quirks and a Doug test, yes, please!
Doug is annoying asf.
Wizards gotta take it around the block, fo'real!
Saw this listed on Craigslist for months crazy to see it on your channel I live in Portland lol
I can't get over how dainty the shift knob is
What a great car; Car Wizard family, what a great video!
I think you have hit on a huge under-served market here. Good video !!!
That fan ad tho.... Smoooth
Finally Wizard incorporated some Wizardry stuff in his videos. Now start snapping in some parts. Don’t stop Wizard keep going it works
I always remember this car from top gear and the clarkson videos that were done on it, he said that this was actually the stig's favorite car, and it was a proper hoonigan machine, like doctor Jekle and Mr Hyde, a proper german super muscle car, built with all that is good about mercedes and none of the bad, like that is a very lucky man to own that machine lol
and clarkson actually bought one I remember, which for a guy who reviews supercars for a living is saying something.
and PS thank you misses wizzard, but you did cut off the engine not a little prematurely there at the back end lol like WHOOPS lol
Such a beautiful piece of art. These CLK are nice in any form.
Jeremy Clarkson had one, that's all you need to know.
1:06 - that is the reaction when you run a literal sweat shop.
That’s so badass that this car was in your shop. 👌
Best car I’ve seen in ur shop!
Great content! Suggestion. Can you xplain jeep JK fan operation? Its a pulse width modulated fan and uses HYSTERISIS in determining ops parameter. Hi and low speed hysterisis with AC off is 39.2. Where did this number come from?
I want one of these soo badly.
This is up with some if my favorite Mercedes’s ever made.
No appology's needed for making all the noise Wizzard! We loved it!!!!
Wizard, if I work for you can a bring my "fan" from home? It's just a window A/C unit on wheels but it keeps my side cool at least.
No words needed. The car says it all!!!
