@ANDERZENAMG

This week on Story Time, we're collaborating with a local TH-camr, @ANDERZENAMG, who shares his build progresses on his channel. He mainly works on Mercedes and today, we'll be focusing on his 2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG which he manual-swapped. A manual transmission was never offered from the factory so this is in fact, a dream build.

Absolute blast. We'll do it again soon brother 🤙

I have a 2005 c55 with 8000 original miles and love that fact...but I don't understand why someone would hate on this unique custom c55... I appreciate the enthusiasm especially with it being manual. Very cool 👍

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

8000 miles?! Yours is worth preserving as is then. Or... maybe a very tame OEM style manual swap...

[@GB.19]

@@ClutchKickOfficial haha it will be preserved as there’s no turning back but I sometimes wish I had one that I can drive!! 😊. So I always appreciate one with Miles… it’s what it’s for!! Cheers.

What a dope build - great video!

[@roshianderson]

Love this! 💕🚘

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Thank you!

[@blacknbluebear]

Incredibly cool build. 👍 Haters are jealous or confused. He's keeping a rare classic on the road, and adding sime awesome flavor to it. Only 1700-1800 of these were made for North America.
I'd love to see how a modded one did at AutoX. I've gone to a few with my stock one. It was surprisingly good, with only a few weaknesses.

[@autoavids]

Awesome vid 👍as an owner of a C55 I can only imagine how much better the manual makes it 👌

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

It completely changes the vehicle.
