I have restored many of these Benz’s over my time in the trade and loved every minute of it. As magnificent as your video is, it cannot capture that amazing old Merc smell when you open the door. That privilege sir, is reserved for you and your guests. Enjoy.
@@HiThere-bu4bs Prices here in Australia are still pretty reasonable, $20 -$25K for a reasonable (driving) 66', and are still one of the best options for doing this sort of ride. They were always my favourite car to fix because Benz put them together in such a way they are simple to pull apart and put back together.
This is the most tastefull rat rod i ever seen. I think it looks very cool and it has tons of character. In any case, the car is better used in this form than thrown in some scrap yard. I hope it's still running today.
Honestly, I'd rather see it in this condition being driven than sitting on the scrapyard. Not my cup of tea, but I have to admit that the car has a lot of character and in the end, everybody is free to do whatever they want with their car. Nice job keeping old classics alive in an different but cool way. Stay safe.
Exactly!! The original build plan for this car was a super nice paint job.basic nice driver. But when I was prepping it for paint I removed over two inches of Bondo from various places including the rear quarter panel a rear door .the front fender was completely made out of Bondo and the other side was filled in where all the rust was. Most people who like "nice" looking cars would have sold off the trim and drivetrain then sent the rest to the crusher.. .
Fantastic car, video and song. It all works. So many elements at work on the Benz. Harmoniously hewn together. It reminds me of bike builders Billy Lane, and Shinya Kimura?(Zero cycles?) more creative and daring work on their choppers. Can FEEL and SMELL that car through the screen! Talented.
Such a cool Merc. I love the f*ck -it attitude with these ratmods. The beer can/bottle holder in the left fender and the bottle opener "tops it off" for me...brilliant!
very nice- and never seen before - the little stars on the headlights. Anyway, what a nostalgia ... my father had the 190, and that's the first car he taught me to drive on (I was 15)
Everything about this film is absolute perfection, start to finish! Very original, beautifully shot and bang on soundtrack. Really did this amazing car justice! Kudos!
👍👍from this guy Bad ass looking car with a beer cooler in the trunk, bottle opener on fender and a cup/beer holder.👏👏👏👏 Great job on music and the editing ✌
We call them "Heckflosse" or "Fin Tails" and the W110 chassis models (which this one is) were a great base model and are still well loved and coveted on the vintage Mercedes Benz Scene. They were available in a 4 cylinder gas, 4 cylinder diesel, and 6 cylinder gas. There larger siblings, the W108/109 sedans, and the W111 and W112 Coupes and Sedans are highly sought after still. In nice, or fully restored condition, they sell for tall dollars. The W111 Coupes and Cabriolets were the pinnacle of 1960's Mercedes design, and featured mechanically injected straight 6s, and even evolved into models with power everything, and large electronically injected V8s.
@@austinado16 1966 was the last year with sidemarker lights. I am not an expert but i know that there are small tiny differenses 67-68. The new body w115 came in 68, not many of the old body manufactured that year i guess. Your move. .. Sidetrim is a clue. th-cam.com/video/iGfsUUW2zjI/w-d-xo.html
I think 1968 had something to do with the chrome strips on and under the boot lid, ie above the rear bumper. I myself had a 200d -67 and an acquaintance a 200d -68 both w110. th-cam.com/video/s1KMjLpztmc/w-d-xo.html
@@seriksson9721 The car in the video appears to be registered here in the US, and I believe in '68, the W110's shipped to the US had orange side marker lights in the front fenders, and red side marker lights in the rear fenders (wings if you're in the UK?). I can't speak to how they were trimmed out for the UK or Europe, because I don't know that much about them. I've owned 4 of them, and only the '68 had side markers.
so, this looks to me like an old s- klasse with a diesel put in afterwards the double bumpers and the window chrome are that kind. but i may be wrong if the standard benz diesel was delivered with the full chrome package in america. i had an old schwalbenschwanz (dove tail)diesel in the 80th
My Dad had a 64 240sl 4 door. gas engine, automatic. he loved that car, and kept it beautiful until New England winters just rusted it away. Then my brother drove it for a few years, before he sold it. I took my license test in it at 17. I ever get rich, Im going to have one restored just like it !
Man I have watched this video probably 50 times. I fuckin love this. The music, the editing, the car. Everything about this is absolutely perfect. I hope this car still drives and honestly if you ever considered selling it, please please please contact me. This car is perfect
Great idea for that video, to prevent a dead Mercedes bring back in life. Also the "German" licence plate at the front end, very well! Greetings from Germany 😀👍
It is under the air cleaner near where the shocker mount upper nut is remove the air cleaner box and carefully scrape the area delicately so as not to level the embossing
You inspired me to bag my w110 200d Just installed AC also. Now I need your permission to steal your cup holder idea. I realize there is no hood place under the hood to place a beer. From Florida.
That has to be the coolest old Merc I've ever seen. Great to see it out on the road and not just rotting in a field.

How much do old Mercs go for and how hard are they to fix?

Thanks for the info, they are probably harder to come by in Michigan because of the moisture and the swamps
Johhny Cash, Great sound track.

The whole video is awesome, the car is a dream on wheels and the bottle opener with the in-fender bottle/can holder are just epic!
Toller sound, super gemacht. 1983 hab ich auch so ein Modell gefahren.
Mister Johnny Cash and an old Merc great combination. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

I liked the old bicycle too!
Beautiful video, Beautiful song.

Okay, 99.9% of the time I hate over video music, but you knocked it out of the box with Johnny Cash, fantastic.
Mega Mercedes Mega Video mit Mega Lied! Extrem der Wagen aus Good old Germany aus den 60er! I Love it.....pssst..auch ein BMW e36 am Start
That is the SWEETEST Mercedes Benz I have EVER seen!!!
Vilket snyggt klipp än om sorgligt. Den här låten går rakt in i hjärtat.
This car is damn cool!
Super cool tattoo
Thanks for making this video.
She's gorgeous!
I bought and transform my w110 because of this one ......❤

Todd. From 1967 or perhaps 1968, the car. Do you know?
@@seriksson9721 I think it's pre-'68 because it doesn't have side marker lights on the front and rear fenders.

Einfach Wunderschön
in an entire class by itself.
Very beautiful car!
Let’s see a episode on that international travelall !
usually i prefer MB in original condition. For this i make an exception :-) Cool style!
Holy shit... What a gold mine of memories.
CASH... the true American legend ❤️❤️❤️ Rip 🙏🙏🙏
Unfortunately.
crazy benz ! loved it
so, this looks to me like an old s- klasse with a diesel put in afterwards the double bumpers and the window chrome are that kind. but i may be wrong if the standard benz diesel was delivered with the full chrome package in america. i had an old schwalbenschwanz (dove tail)diesel in the 80th
nope. It's a W110 with the 200D engine for north America (1966). The Heckflosse..
The bumpers are from the S-class serie W108.
@@Wil-70-NL ah, yes, i thought that the bumpers looked quite mighty, somehow. thanks don
The top bumper is the stock 110 but I cut out the center. Then added the second underneath off the 108.
@@randomlooker73 looking good! As well for the complete car. Many w110's have survived in Europe.
You made my day
I have tears, beautiful
