Default 2001 CL63

Greetings,

I hope this post finds everyone well...

I may have an opportunity to purchase a 2001 CL63 (already own a 2001 CL600, 1997 S600)... However, I cannot find much informaiton about this car... I have found this out from one website;

The CL63 AMG is the rarest CL of all. It was produced only in November 2001, and just 26 examples were ever built for sale. The V12-powered CL63 AMG was only sold in Europe and Asia. Mercedes-Benz never offered the CL63 for sale; all were sold exclusively through AMG with a base price of £110,000 (~US$200,000).

I have found a car being offered for sale here in Illinois being advertised as a CL63 with 25k miles... According to the (limited) documentation I have seen, it was shipped to the US in April / May 2001, which seems to be in coflict with the above as to when they were built (or is the above wrong, as it should read that they were built in November 2000 as opposed to 2001?

The car has had extensive "Renntech" modifications made to it, which leads me to believe that this is truly a CL600 which as been converted...

If I use the VIN Decoder on this site, here is the information I get (which even makes me more confused)...

Year of Manufacture 2004
Chassis Code 163
Manufacturer Name 4
Model
Restraint Systems
Displacement
Horsepower
Fuel Gasoline
Production Plant Tuscaloosa
Country of Manufacture Germany
Production No. 4

The car as priced would probably be a good value / buy if just a converted CL600, but since I am not interested in this, I am wondering if anyone out there can help me get further information on the CL63 (i.e. is the above true, and if so, are their VIN's which you could look at to see if it was one of the 26 produced or not)...

Appreciate any and all the help you can provided...

God Bless and Bye for Now, David

If you read the listing, I think it even says that it is an upgraded CL600.
