1969 LS Turbo, Suicide, chopped top Benz | W108 280s | Eurowise Official | Charlotte, NC

- I’ve always loved the Mercedes-Benz W108 chassis. The goal was to achieve an American hot rod style German sedan; chopped roof, Lincoln-style suicide doors, black paint, and American muscle.
After three weeks of searching, we found one on eBay in Pennsylvania. Sight unseen we bought it and a friend drove it back to Charlotte for me. The seller was an older man who had owned the car since new, and it was mint. We felt so bad about cutting it up that we didn’t tell him our intentions with his beloved car.
The original plan was a naturally aspirated 5.7L LS1, but as most builds go, it snowballed. We ended up ripping out the 5.7L and putting in a built 5.3L LS motor with a BorgWarner 66mm turbo. We routed the twin wastegate dump tubes out the top of the hood.
On top of that, we added a sequential shifter box with the T-56 6-speed transmission.
Inside, Mike wanted a combination of things: a hardcore look with modern amenities, but also a vintage feel to match the era of the Mercedes.
We started with black suede and leather with hexagon patterns. The headrests were shaved off the front seats and we opted for red lap belts. There are carbon fiber dash accents and a gear position indicator in the center.
The steering wheel is from a Mercedes-AMG C63, which took some lathe work to make it work as we had to retain the C63 steering column. We also added all the nice stuff like power windows, door locks, and a Bluetooth stereo system.
To continue the old school, low rider style we decided to go with air ride, but we wanted a quick lift and drop. We built the system with half-inch lines front to rear and a manual seven-switch controller. We also installed an Air Lift Performance 3P management system with quarter-inch lines for smooth operation and fine adjustment. With everything exposed in the trunk, it looks pretty cool and complex at the same time.
It certainly drives like an old Benz, very soft and subtle. We tested the car without a front sway bar and quickly found it needs something to handle the added weight of the LS - nearly double the weight of the original drivetrain. We built a NASCAR-style front sway bar out of 1.25-inch solid steel.
The Mercedes has been one of the most rewarding builds to date. Seeing everyone’s expression and the comments online make my day every time. Making people happy and seeing a product from start to finish always makes it worth all the stress and hard work.

I wish i could hear the engine instead of annoying music, but dope build
Well, you'd be in for a big disappointment. That chunk of iron in the front is just show. If you wondered why it is so slow - it's driven by a tiny Daihatsu 3-cylinder engine in the back.
This music was better than most car vids
Agreed
what else would you expect from a channel called "eurowise"? lmao
Same what a amazing sound that LS would have it's beyond imagination
They chopped a Mercedes so hard it turned into a Lincoln Continental.
I haven't seen a Lincoln yet with the finesse of that or any other MB, Is for life
I thought the same thing especially with the suicide rear doors. Very nice and different build but it does have a Lincoln feel to it.
@@elmermt no he’s right. At first glance it sure does look like a Lincoln Continental of that era. Suicide doors and all.
That's what i thought it was in the thumbnail lol
Calls to mind some of Mobsteel's work.
If Satan drove a car, He would pick this one
yes ha ha
No I wouldn't
😅😅😅😂😂😂
He would just take it 😈
And Death?
This is seriously on a different level. The engine swap, the chop top/suicide doors, and the overall restoration of the car could all stand on their own as 3 individual builds.
How i feel like when I'm pulling out of Los Santos Customs after spending all my money
what? dude beautiful car but no engine sound? sehr sehr schade 🙄
I dont understand how people post such videos ... the car is cool but we still want to hear the sound no matter what
Deondaray True True...
Ist wohl ein elektromotor... ;)
@@thommygun788 haha wahrscheinlich wird es so sein 😂
Music replaces the engine sound these days, makes it more cooler or something. 😕
I needed the hood on there for that clean look
"Just driving around collecting souls"😁 👊🏾❤️
😁😂😂
I've seen this model of Mercedes for years ,and always though no one can make them look cool . I was wrong ! This is Stunning . Incredible work, what a fantastic car .
I've always thought they looked cool, grew up with 1 & sad to see it die shortly after its owner.... Think Mercedes offered a sit stance at parked option, pretty sick to see
Nice wheels dude
Wish I could hear the music from the v8 I suppose?
✌️
Looks like a pimped out sedan version of "THE CAR "
Thank you for this comment!
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN A MERCEDES THIS CLEAN THAT IS TIGHT
You ought to see Sly Stallone's wide-bodied 560sec.
Non car people who make videos
"Id rather hear this elevator music than the car in this video"
nice,now do one where we here the sound of it.no music
Takes "gangsta" to a whole new level.
#BadAss
This should definitely be the villain car in the next Blade movie. Reminds me of vampires for some reason.🤔🦇
Would be better on smaller rims and meaty tires.
Don't stay in that location too long. It looks like a good place for a car jacking. Nice ride though.
If the CAR in CHRISTINE had a BOYFRIEND it would be this.
@Jon HillNo...no, defenetly the boyfriend....lol.
First one ive seen with suecide doors
Lok I'm a mercedesbenz guy and I think that you hit it out the park I love it can you do my car like that I have a sl 500 and a es320 holla Peace
.... for real... let’s remake this video with engine/exhaust sounds!!! Hear that power!!
Wow, such bad selection of music. V8’s make way much better sounds(music). Great vlog, great build, ruined the video with bad choice video.
Yeah, how about a video of the car, and not a trap concert? Sick build for sure, but I'd love to hear that engine fire up
Very Hottttttttt
👍👍
I could of done without the ear raping music. But the car is really sick. Great looking car.
Not a single clip of the car running... Wtf
SICK DOG But on a serious note less music more engine sound And by far the best Mercedes on the planet 👍
Didn't come for music I came to hear your car
If someone gave me this ….I would change my sir name to El~guapo
Please make a second Video Witz Engine Sound!!!!! 😑
Omg that steering wheel 😍😍😍
Bravo guys, I love the work you've done on the car.
wow, and there was a great opportunity to create something with class...
Damn, this car is perfect.
Очень красивый автомобиль!...
smashed the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON, but damn I would have LOVED to hear that engine scream!!!
No tires were harmed in the making of this video 😥
What's the wheel brand and wheel and tire specs?
That is an absolute work of art!!!!! Absolutely amazing, full credit to you and great vlog edit
This is the perfect example of not knowing you desperately needed something, until you've seen it/just found out of its existence
What the hell did you do to that poor car. It’s meant to be stock.
Engineering Rebel we were trying to be Rebels like you
Eurowise Inc. 🤣
I think the Lincoln copied that benz
Why am I just now seeing this
All that work and couldn't afford a hood. :D
Very nice,miss me with the tunage
beautiful mercedes taken from the grave, undoubtedly the classic mercedes are the best symbol of elegance i modified as it is this much better that great v8 ls turbo at least it will have 1000 horsepower to drive it has to be a great experience
Read dont want to shine by antonio cancino teran buy 3rd fox
Nice quys
As a German, I don´t think this is funny.
This is what we call EPIC in the car world. No matter where this car goes it's going to pull emotion out of people whether it be good negative neck snapping head turns.. people stomping on their brakes to turn around and look at it ..hollering at gas stations thumbs up thumbs down jaw drops ..good comments being shouted bad comments being shouted.. whether you like cars or not whether you like lowered cambered.. chrome ..mafia style rides ..big motors big wheels.. this car is going to get every human reaction possible from anyone that comes near this car. And the fact it has soooooo much going on is insane on all levels. This is the kind of car that if you rolled up to a cars and coffee that was all lambos Ferraris mclaren etc nobody would give a shit about those including their own cause deep down in their car soul all u can hear i....JESUS CHRIST THATS DOPE
It looks like it came out from old Manga Balck Jack . Great project
simply beautiful!!
beautiful car
This is what was in my imagination when reading Good Omens.
I wanne buy the car! 😀👍
The winner car of most urgly Oldtimer conversion championships.
Such a car shall not have the Mercedes star any more
exactly. this shit is riced out. tons of work =/= good result
But the star add more to it. It the more respected emblem and it fit the character of the car
Darth Vader on wheels. Proper mod, looks really great 👍
Cool ride, love the modified merc's
😍😍😍👍👍👍😎😎😎
That is one of the most stunningly beautiful cars I have ever seen its amazing!
Wow...I believe you understood the Philosophy of MB during these Years,Elegance and Power.
Greetings from the Placenta of MB....Stuttgart
Put the bonnet back on for heaven's sake!!!
WTF!!? I wanna hear the engine roar!
You guys went above and beyond your goal! What a masterpiece.
There’s only one thing I would change..............the sound track, I would have liked to have heard the motor. Very nice build
Dope whip, ever thought about adding vogue tyres?
This model looks more fancy when is perfect condition orginal without modification
From 1 euro tuner to another. Much respect.
You had me at LS 🤣 Never wanted a benz more! Beautiful 😍
Beautiful, congratulations to everyone that worked on this ride.
I’m in Durham I’d love to see this car
Super clean nice 👍🏾 Just Subscribed
I need to hear that engine sound
Would have been nice to hear the engine instead of that background music
Fuck I live in Durham I’m from Atlanta can you help me build my car it’s 5.7 HEMI 300C on 24s
Wow, SICKKK!
That's sicckkk AF...... Beautiful car
Nasty
My parents had one like this when I was a kid we lived in Germany for 3 yeas anyway I used to gank the emblems off the grills lol saw it sitting outside our complex where we lived my dad was in the army but got my dads emblem lol got upstairs my dad says see the new car lol didn't know he bought a new one lol those emblems are good Chinese throwing stars pop the ring of lol that Benz is sick
Worship to the car ...and *239847247238742039582952796529350ß2* thumbs down for the shitty music .-* xD
v8 sounds.
I have a 280 se 1968, exactly my vision for mine, except I will bag the suspension, suicide doors like this beauty, but with red complete interior including roof lining, quad exhaust twin pipes, , love the wheels what are they called and where from anyone know 👌👍
Wacky , I picture Beetlejuice driving round' with Eric , Sal , Drunk Fwarf and some Midgets....
I hates the midgets he says .... SPELL RED BEETS , u mmmm,,,,L S T E R
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Grüße aus Deutschland
Game over
I love
Kinda looks like the The Car from the 1977 movie. It's chopped just like the 1971 Lincoln in the movie. Almost has the same shape and just as sinister looking.
As an Englishman I have deep rooted suspicions of anything built by our German neighbours. Even an apprenticeship with volkswagen audi didn't persuade me otherwise. Hence why last year when I saw a barest of stripped bare but rust free 1960's merc pullman body shell in a local scrapyard I was more interested by the "guess the car" game with the yard owner than actually visualising it as a project. I did guess correctly but didn't even think to bid on it due to not seeing its potential.
No offence to der nachbarin. I had actually booked this years family hols to Wank mountain. Look it up. Real place. And they don't even find it funny. Gutted it got covid cancelled.
Maaaaaaaaan that shit cold asf🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶. The whole video dope asf honestly. I usually don't fuck with the music, but that shit even matched the vibe of the car. Am I the only person who noticed the perfect timing of the street fighter "perfect" as it showed the custom intake? PERFECT
Big ass wheels and white walls?? Umm, fuck yea. Black is tight, but I probably would've went with some kind of blood red, or burgundy. Definitely not criticizing tho, that thing is de sheisen
Death....you killlllled it. Want to hear that 6banger bang!....come on guys. Soundsssssss!!!!
Clearly brilliant work, very Lincoln and a perfect looking vehicle for a remake of the "Christine" movie, unfortunately the video is completely destroyed by trash music that doesn't even fit with the content, where is the vehicle engine sound?, very sad
Bad filming. Bad shots of what looks like an interesting build. Backgroubd jingle terrible. Show us the car and stop doing silly flyby . Less is more
Too low! I don't get why people who mod cars always want them so impractically low with no clearance. What if there's a pebble. Or a driveway.
But beautiful. I want to see the interior, know the specs and hear the sound
Horrible video work,couldn’t even see the car,useless background music,no sound from the cars engine,BS
This one I don't mind the customizations because it was probably in rough shape to begin with, and it does look good. The ones that piss me off is the kids that get their hand on perfect, mint condition unmolested cars and then hack them up to put schiat quality air ride on them because they think they look cool, forever destroying a true survivor car.
Imo, better option for modern steering wheel would be two spoke from w222 cause i always had feeling like it was made to tribute w108.
yuck! i own 4 older mercedes and this isn't my cup o tea but your passion is admirable i wish the design would have kept a little more old school parts off original car. just my opinion
In my opinion, the frontbumper looks a bit too bulky and i saw restomods without the bumpers and that looks awe some
Me thinks a lot of poeple ,including me would prefered to hear the engine at least once, instead of the music all the time.
すげー👍
A Chevy motor? I just thru up a little in my mouth. A V12 would take it to the next level. A Chevy engine just makes it a rat rod.
