Magic happened and I found a low mileage W208 CLK55 Convertible, Designo, White on Black with in a few hundred miles from me long story short that: Super clean 78,000 Mile 2002 CLK55 was the foundation on which to build this dream. I Knew from day 1 it had to be a White one, White with Black interior. To build a Fast As F' W208 CLK, and since it was to be a Florida car, it needed to be a drop-top. Oh!, but what was the plan I'd concocted!?. I said to myself a W208 CLK's body is a classic, a beauty, the last "4 eyed" Benz of the CLK body style, I know you don't like the conjoined "fried egg" shape of the subsequent W209 CLK's headlights :) In my opinion, the W208 is a body style that will be prized for the decades to follow, a near future collectible In fact the body is so appreciated, it has been featured in more than 150+ Hollywood productions, everything from the Sons Of Anarchy (TV), to notorious movies such as: Fifty Shades Of Gray, Vanilla Sky, and others. So I concocted a plan: I used to own a W208 CLK430 Cabriolet (V8), that I added a HPS (alleged "bolt-on") supercharger to, and to keep a long story short the "bolt-on" was not as "bolt-on" as it claimed, not much Umph!, and the fitment issues did not make me a happy guy. So, I had just sold my SL55, Now What!? I wanted to own another devilishly fast, work of art on wheels, BUT! Without the repair high costs associated with may other Mercedes models, where: Hydraulic suspension averages $1k per side at the dealer, and excessive and un-used, fancy features break often. and after the sale of my most recent car, it dawned on me I appreciate Benzes for their styling, power & performance, but I do not appreciate the higher repair costs associated with their "higher" end models: E, S, CL-Class, etc. I've had 2 of the AMG 55 Kompressor supercharged vehicles (W211 E55, and R230 SL55). ** If you don't TRULY want to know about the car or how it came to be, skip down to the Modifications list :) Available for purchase is a realized dream of mine, I've been an avid Mercedes fan for decades, owned a handful of them from the purposeful W163 ML SUV, to the bold & powerful CL600/C215 V12.
