I'm shocked ^

CLS should be pretty much an E class, which is used as taxis all around the world. It should be relatively reliable engine and trans wise. :pokerface:

Chassis sure, the engine and trans are completely different, you aren't driving a E200D around.


That CLS reminds me that there used to be a white one parked on a driveway on Kingsway, just west of the Joyce intersection. It was there for many years and moss was growing on it. Then it disappeared. I was always curious what happened to it.

Puzzle car. Some E. Some S. Then there is Airmatic factored in.

Always had a thing for these, nice lines, long roof, nice profile ... 2012 MB e63 Wagon, only 121K kms, $39K though (not a good buy imo). But one of the baddest soccer mom wagons! Got a timeless elegant classy look for a 10 yo car ... it was over $100K new fwiw.

I would love that. Even if I can buy it, I can't afford to run it as a soccer dad car.

Not sure if debadged for looks or repaint? Even the e63 of that gen was pretty subtle.

Carfax is on autotrader

It was auctioned off in MTL in 2014, for some reason listed as accident repair?

Used to walk by it everyday! I thought it was a CL550

Cool dads drive a V60 Polestar

I'd agree ... except after 2019 ... a V60 T6 AWd would be suhweet ...

here it is with the Heico Sportiv package all done up

A base model V60 T8 (non-Polestar) for under $60k pre-tax is a pretty decent deal, plus it qualifies for federal and provincial incentives totalling $7,000. Great sleeper wagon with 400hp on tap, decent EV-only range, and HOV access.

Too small and not enough brrrBRRRAAAAAAA

Damn so it's been a Alberta Quebec car all it's life.

if only i could afford it...

Lifter tick.... my step dads jeep died 80km after having a lifter tick

Then again, I don't know enough about engines if that would happen to this car

It's all being rebuilt if you get to the end of his story... so won't be an issue haha

hmm.

Looks like an F20C should drop into there.


Franken cossie it

Why would you want to put a relatively weak and peaky S2K motor into a space where a block that can take 700hp just was? haha

F20C swap definitely has its place, but this is not one of them IMO

I heard F20C swaps are $20K+ lol.

LS1

Because a peaky 4 cylinder is just as fun as a boosted 4 cylinder with a bit of turbo lag.


Looks like a K series should fit as well. can run some boost on a K and mount it north south.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Sell the motor parts on eBay etc, make a bunch of your money back and drop in the 2.3 ecoboost/6spd trans from the mustang. New tech and power in a fantastic chassis.

But I'd like a high strung NA 4 cylinder in that thing :drunk:

Is it really a fantastic chassis? Or is it just nostalgia? I feel like it'll drive like a giant wet noodle considering it's age and tech without a lot of work.
