[W126 Coupe] off topic asking your opinion on used porschecarrera4

You may be correct on this. My E-mail to Eddie was just to have him inquire
into these hand built engines. As far as I understand the E 55 AMG with the
hand built 469 HP signed engine was not called a E 65, its a E 55 AMG and I
believe the CL 65 is a 2004 and 2005 stock model 12 cylinder and not badged
as AMG.
