It is time to let my baby go…and I truly hope the next Owner is someone that can truly appreciate having a “one-of-a-kind” driving machine! This 2002 Mercedes Benz 32SLK AMG is an unbelievably exciting and exhilarating car to experience. It is the top-of-the-line R170 SLK that was ever produced, and to this day the “factory” produced unit is one of the highest performing Mercedes every manufactured…and this example is much better than “factory” when you hear what has been done to her. As you can see from the pictures, it is a black on black AMG, and although not perfect it is easily the best looking R170 you will find with like-new interior and leather, and great exterior paint with only some minor scratches on the rear bumper that are barely noticeable (I am very meticulous with my cars, and try to keep them all in top aesthetic and mechanical condition). Mileage is very low at only 56,974 (although it may go up slightly as we still drive some on weekends…other than that it sits in the garage). Power everything, heated seats, telescoping steering wheel, & all other available options are included in this car (factory stereo head unit has been replaced with a Pioneer CD/Bluetooth/USB Unit, but it will be included with the sale as well as the factory CD Changer). Everything works perfectly as it should, including the retractable hard top convertible that provides for a coupe-like experience when you don’t want to drop the top. Beyond the change to the factory Stereo Head Unit there are some very impacting modifications that have taken this remarkable sports car into the “super car” performance realm.
A few years ago this SLK was involved in a front-end accident, and due to the value of the damage the insurance company chose to consider it a total-loss, and although it now has a clear TN Title, it does have Rebuilt/Reconstructed History. At that time the opportunity presented itself to not just rebuild her back to original, but instead enhance her to amazing levels both in aesthetic and performance. The front grille was replaced with a “badge-less” black-out unit, the factory wheels were replaced with lighter and larger 18” Enkei PF01’s “bright silver” (staggered), and most importantly the powerplant was modified professionally by Eurocharged Performance to take the 349HP factory version to a whopping 420HP…3.8 seconds to 60 mph, and upper 11’s in the quarter-mile, all while allowing the engine to run cooler and improving fuel economy!!! So what did Eurocharged Performance do…
· Supercharger Pulley was changed to a smaller unit to increase power (original will come with the car)
· ECU (Engine Control Unit) was remapped to match the new Pulley
· TCU (Transmission Control Unit) was remapped to eliminate the factory “Winter Mode), and instead create a “Manual Shift Mode”…holds gear upshift until rev limited is hit
· Johnson 30CM Intercooler was used to replace the original unit to accommodate the faster spin of the Pulley
· K&N Air Filter System to improve air flow volume & efficiency
Needless to say, she can be smooth and comfortable, or when you are feeling the desire to get you heart beating or pin your passenger into the back of the seat, you can unleash her true power! What else can I say? She is a beautiful car, and if it wasn’t time to add my Son’s car to the garage she would be staying…but toys must go when practicality takes priority. Good luck bidding, buy it now, or make me a reasonable offer; and of course if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for you interest!
