Vehicle Description

Forty of these super-special CL65s were produced, and only twenty of them were sold to the USA, each gussied up with the expected special-edition interior bits, which at the CL65's price point go beyond different floor mats. Inside, it features every available CL comfort option, genuine carbon-fiber trim, and a smattering of V-12 and 40th Anniversary badges and embossments.
The Exclusive Passion interior color combo looks like the inside of a Milky Way bar, with chocolatey Nappa leather wrapping the dashboard and the door panels and nougat-esque Nappa leather coating the seats and the door inserts. 

Aside from the analog/digital TV tuner, the coolest thing about the CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition is its gorgeous Alu Beam (liquid metal) paint, a lustrous silver that we've only seen on a handful of Mercedes-Benz show cars in recent years. This marks the first time a production vehicle will wear it on the street. 
The unique—and extraordinarily expensive—Alu Beam paint process involves paint particles roughly a quarter of the size of conventional paint specks that can be spread over the car more precisely and thus reflect light more evenly and more intensely. The car is then covered by a thick clear-coat, resulting in a silky sheen that makes it appear as if the contents of a 747-sized mercury thermometer had been poured over the top of the car.  

We bought this car in 2013 from one of our long-time collector clients who was the original owner. The car was owned, garaged, and serviced in Las Vegas and as a result had never seen weather over the 19k miles it had accumulated. We just got the car back on trade from its second owner, who obviously drove it sparingly during his two years of ownership.
The original paint is in immaculate condition, as the original owner had a clearbra installed on the front valence to protect the paint against stone chips. We removed the clearbra as it was showing its age.
The car is up-to-date on service, and immaculate inside and out. New rear tires were just installed, and the car was just serviced and checked over by our local specialty shop. Included with the car are service records, all books, three keys, and window sticker.
