Gemballa is known as one of the most extreme '80s tuners. Primarily focusing on Porsches, Gemballa did do work on several Mercedes models like the SEC and SEL. Known for lavish interiors and revolutionary technology for the time, Gemballa spared no expense. This example, however, a 1984 500 SEC, is a rather understated example of Gemballa's typical work. A beautiful leather interior is capped off with the signature Gemballa steering wheel that features radio controls - the first to do so in this era.

From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!
Great Video with Shmee, you guys came off as true curators and educators of these rare automobiles.
Brought me here!
This gemballa is so unique that almost every car on road can hide i imagine when someone walks to it with dirty hands
I powder coat wheels for a living been doing so for 20 years I've painted maybe 2 sets of Gemballa wheels in my life and they were for Porsche's the fact they also worked on Mercedes back then is wild. Gemballa anything is rare and expensive. Great content .
You guys have changed the game of car collections💪💪 Long live the Patina collective
the smile of the last guy says everything!!!
Thanks man for putting me in your video you you a real nice humble person my God continue to bless you and your family and friends
Gemballa is so iconic! And I love the history implemented on your videos from the tuner to the person that owned it, etc. These cars are so remarkable and to the very few who were lucky to own em, it’s great what y’all are doing if it wasn’t for y’all accumulating these unicorns these cars roots and history would simply be a mystery never to surface, thanks for what y’all do at Patena! it means a lot seriously ❤ It’s more then collecting, it’s the passion y’all have and sharing it! 🙂 and that’s priceless!
Great job on Shmee, you guys are real ones.
I really hope you will make this kind of videos for all / many of the cars you have in the collection! But please dont forget to make also videos like we are used to with all the stuff that happens around the cars. Like cars arriving, washing or just the simple things like books coming in the mail! Or even Vico getting his hair cut between the cars😉🔥 Really love those vids!
Shmee!! Never watched something so long without skipping a single second. I LOVE THIS !!!!!!!
Guys this is insane!
Incredible leather detaila and the inversed colour on the.trunk is great!
My new favorite channel for sure!
Awesome and great quality content! Came from Shmee and now I am here to stay! Sadly I don't know of any Gemballa's but I'm sure to keep watching and see how the collective grows!
I saw a Gemballa 911 a few years ago in Rochester, NY. I almost lost control.....I could not believe it!
I remember seeing my first Gemballa Porsches when I lived in Tokyo 02-04. Gemballa had a stand at the Tokyo Motor show in 03. Those things looked incredible.
That Sec is hard bro, all white y’all killed it, i love that joint rite that bro, please don’t stop fixing up the older cars, they run better and look better than the new cars!!!
Respect what you’re doing, beautiful cars
0:51 - One correction... The Canary Islands are Spain. They are as much Spain as any other spanish province is. It is in fact a province of Spain.
Note: on the Gemballa, you still see an old-style spanish license plate, with "GC" standing for "Gran Canaria". Until 2000, the first letters on spanish license plates showed the provincial codes: e.g. A = Alicante, B = Barcelona, BI = Bilbao, BU = Burgos, M = Madrid, SE = Sevilla, GC = Gran Canaria, TF = Tenerife (another one of the Canary Islands).
Would love to see a series on all the g wagons you guys collected and are hunting down. Love the drop top Amy Japan and even the brabus bus/van
You guys have the best luxury cars on TH-cam, this channel should have a million + subscribers!
Yo.. love these kinds of vids, (one car has its special video.) But I enjoy the regular videos more (getting deliveries, servicing a few.) Could you guys upload a video about one specific car on like Wednesday and the normal content on our Sundays? Just a thought, so we could still learn about each individual car but still have the normal content.. I don’t miss a video btw, all love family
great video guys.
not many car guys can teach me somethings I didn't know, but I learned from this video. A+
My brothers, y'all are legends in this game for real for real ! 💯
proud that car left my land 🇮🇨🇮🇨
I love Gemballas. Ive been wanting a Gemballa 997 Turbo Avalanche since I 1st heard about it in College.
Blanco 500 SEC Gembala. ⚪️🤤
Spoke to Shant over at CMS. Nothing but the best to say about the Patina boys. Keep making waves y’all. Doing real work.
Gemballa is a legendary tuning company, The son of the original owner is working on new Porsches today - a bit more rally inspired though. Really ahead of their time, lots of tech, steering wheel controls, really aggressive body kits. The AVALANCHE Porsches look insanely aggressive, cant imagine what seeing one in the 80's must have felt like - even today they are a show stopper.
🙌Gemballa boys in the building!🙌
Love the detail of these videos. I have only ever seen a few pictures of cars like these so please do not stop making videos.
Miami Vice style (white body + white interior) 😍👍
Bro that’s definitely a show car, some white three piece BBS would look dam good on that beautiful car
Don't forget to showcase those beautiful Fast Merc Wagons. Love a last wagon/estate! The best of all worlds.
my fav car of all time is an 86 Gemballa Avalanche in that pearl white with white interior
Very nice and good unit, and from my land Spain 😍. If I ever go to Florida your museum is a must see. greetings
Patina collective should put out an annual calendar showcasing all of their rarest cars.
PATINA BOYZ FOREVER

My black Gemballa steering wheel with the head unit control buttons now takes pride of joy on your office wall display above your desk in most of your video's
Cool home for it now to share the legendary Gemballa history
Thanks for another cool video. That is a beautiful SEC. Thank you for sharing some history on Gemballa.
Nice vid there boys. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m sure those elusive Gemballas will come flooding in to Florida.
Very nice!
I hope they do full reviews in depth with all their cars! Patina Boys!
The guy at the end "this don't make sense"! exactly what I say when hear 300 benzes
I'm from South Africa and never heard of the name "Gemballa", even though I've seen the Porsche style, never knew what it was. Thanks for educating us, even across the waters 🔥🔥🔥
I will make sure to come when the museum opens. I'm so excited
Also, Really cool tour with shmee, what's crazy is he only saw the tip of the iceberg, I could spend a day there reading on every unique story that every car comes with, you guys truly put in the work.
I’m lowkey tryna start a collection like yall but with porsches so when y’all see me blow up I’ll definitely tip my hat to Pantina Collective
With all that work... Trunk lid is still bare steel
One of the most Underrated Mercedes Benz tuner. Hope to see a video about SGS Garage too.
Legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome Awesome channel! I've been binge watching all week!
What a gem!! Congrats boys!

People need to realize Gemballa was waaay ahead of its time as far as technology . Some of those things were unheard of in 1984. I’m sure there were more than a few driving around in south Florida in the early 80’s when some types had disposable income 💵
Fabulous Benz 😎
Thank you for doing this and showing us amazing work over there ✌️
I love this car❤️👍
Please make a video about that W202 blue Brabus. I've seen that car in Shmee's video. Great collection!
Love Gems work they also made cool 911.
Exquisite car, Saint Tropez is on French Riviera, another place another collection :)) but Canary islands are really something else, been there last year, Tenerife island, seen some old vintage Automobiles there. Keep up the good work!
DAMN SOME OF THE BEST JOINTS WERE MADE BACK THEN .... THE MUSEUM GOING TO BE DOOOOOOOOOOOPE
Great cars and knowledge here - thanks for sharing 👍
Greetings guys remember reading about this tuner in the eighties there work was very unique to think they did all this way back then and yes try getting those original rims with the dual colors
Your music is fire bro. We bumpin that in New York in our benzs
Very interesting car great video keep them coming
I watched a video about the E30 Gemballa. It’s in Pennsylvania.
tnx for the video
Got a Gemballa, this ain't an Impala 💯💯💯
Nope! You definitely broke the record of saying Gemballa the most times in a video. LOL I'm local. I'm itching to go see all these great Mercedes!
A lot of people don’t know what or who gemballa is I know the history that guy did some incredible cars
0:51 what a view!!!
And y’all should so something wit Curren$y y’all would make some fire classic Benz content
“In Florida where it belong”! 😂
The first time I'm hearing gerballa
THE STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS, it cost me ALOTTTA!
Imagine driving this in 80’ through Miami from 18-20 pm smoking cigar with beretta 9mm onboard
Just read the Uwe Gemballa story. Never knew much about him or the company. What a sad ending to the legacy.
I used to have a gemballa yellow testarossa poster hanging over ma bed in the late 80s
I had no idea about Gemballa's history
o.m.g. deepdish oem wheels. beautiful. mylord that cluster tho. i love custom stuff like this. when if you believed in yourself it was possible. nowadays we need blood and sweat >_> do yall have a set of old trashy ronal r9 you want to fo to. a good home xD
Such a nice and unique car but I think the dash is not the original one it's may replaced
#MuseumAlert There’s a 91 300CE Koenig Special in Bristol, Connecticut that was owned by Ken Griffey Jr
I like today's video and how you guys went into detail about The GEMBALLA. I didn't know that this car existed. You guys are really putting us on with the classic gems 💎 that most didn't know about thank you guys for this content. Also showing us and new Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts how far ahead in advance Mercedes-Benz was then and how they still are ahead today. Keep up the good work and keep putting out great content. #ThePatinaCollective #Benzonly
GEMBALLA 💪
A lot of these 'bespoked' cars age less gracefully than OEM. Case & point- look down the side with certain shots and the lower plastic panels wave at you. Gemballa is not alone, the vast majority do, rare when an aftermarket or niche customizer does a vehicle.
The Only Shape That Exists, a friend said, no matter SEL or SEC meaning it's so perfect you can only fuck up as seen from all tuners. You cannot improve the looks of 126 keep it to the engine
Why the dash is only black ?
Gemballa
Hello there is a 190 amg 3,7 for sale in denmark
Have never heard about a 190 3,7 amg
But maybe you have
audio system from newer model s class, or im missing something? just curious
Loving this channel more and more its weirdly satisfying to see cars you know were owned by Middle East billionaires, mobsters, and cartel kingpins haha. The average Wall Street banker wasn't driving these.
You guys should get the gemballa that uday used to have it was listed for sale for 36000 usd it's sec wide body in white
Please save it please
Already purchased brother
@@PatinaCollective thank you so much 😍
@@PatinaCollective also there is w126 500 sel guard in white in Baghdad listed for sale in a dealership if you guys are interested
How much did you spent for this Gemballa?
Did you find any LOTEC?
It’s a shame Kourosh Mansory didn’t tune Mercedes Benz. He started out as a tuner in 1989 so the time was right.
Since those arent the original wheels maybe powder coat them body color?
