Summary: 154822 miles, limited edition - only a few thousand in the states, automatic 4 gear (the last year of the reliable four), short-geared limited slip differential, new quiet tires, full Thule rack w/ Thule spoiler (will throw in bike mount and snowboard mount), strong AC, shiny black leather, bunch of receipts for parts (from FCP Groton, LLC of Old Saybrook, CT). Car is available to be seen and driven by appointment. Contact me and come see it in Northford, CT. There are decent writeups about this rare beast over here and here. This particular car spent most of its life in southern states and has no rust. This is my dream car that I picked up w/ 134K miles. It now has only 154K and I have to give her up: I just graduated college 6 months ago and I must now start replaying school loans. I will wash and wax the car by hand before letting her go once I get the deposit upon auction completion. Video [Exhaust note]: This a video we made about this C36: here. Detailed sale pics, click for high res: [Taken FOR this auction on 11/24/11] Additional pictures, click for high res: I challenge you to find a better maintained C36; I won my first Rookie event in the local autocross chapter in her. The car is less than 200 miles shy* of the Mercedes high mileage award, see here. Read on. * - I am currently using to get to and from work, so miles will creep a little bit over the span of the 10 day auction. A real thoroughbred: This car will outsprint any other C36 and some C43s without a sweat because what the factory left out, I personally made sure to put in. I have poured myself into this car and made sure it remained pure and true to motorsports wher it came from. Car sounds tough, still has the factory stainless steel AMG exhaust stamped with a serial number. These straight-6 strokers cant be found on any modern car, the only bigger straight six is the Jaguar four liters.

You get the AMG replica (5 triple-spoke) wheels in pictures, they have curb rash, just like in pictures. The yellow wheels are NOT powdercoated. I prepared a temporary coat to see how it would fit before powdercoating, but never ended up powdercoating them, but you can have them also.
