Not much of a Mercedes fan but look like you guys got a deal there! Most important though Autumn rocked the camera work!! As far as thee bush work, I thought sure Tylynn would be there with the guns out, knocking those bushes out of the way! Or maybe Haylee could have crept through without a care!! Great girls there!!! Now, I'm looking forward to seeing a COPO Camaro or Shelby Mustang in an upcoming video!!! Well done!!
Thanks Jim! Man those Camaros and Shelby Mustangs are lots of $$ these days! But we’re always keeping an eye out ! Hope you’re doing well and having a great week so far! Take care!
Over the past 17 years of pulling these old MB diesels out of people driveways it amazes me with how just bullit proof they really are , I lend that to the service they received within those first 10 years of ownership , the next 10 years it possible stayed in the family , the rest is up to the imagination . The parkers usually end up with rusty tanks and sour fuel . The reason. I bring a jug of fuel and a hot battery with extra fuel line to get a somewhat of my starter kit involved in the starting event . The sellers usually get a kick out of my process , they are the gem in the thrown away rocks of junkyards .
Car buckled out but it compelled the sweet baby to crawl through bush. Good it was safe no creepy creatures resting in the bush ....and appreciate her camera skills.
my dad used to have a diesel mercedes but im the winter it would freeze up, it was crazy, he had to bring in the battery every night if he wanted it to work the next day lol have fun with the new car hugssss
We had a Mercedes model very similar to this one when we lived in Germany. I don't believe ours was diesel though plus a tad boxier in body style and white paint. It was used in '85, but only a few years old at that point so maybe an '82 or'83 model. It was a great car! Bahahaha the autobahn. Now that's funny! 🤣
When you get it running and ready to sell please let me know how much you want for it I would love to have a diesel Mercedes because that way I can make my own fuel out of waste of energy oil God bless have a blessed day from your friendly troll Dale God bless my friend
Not sure Joe wants to give this one up. But also the problem using waste oil is that it doesn’t have the proper lubrication for the pump so your pump wouldn’t last as long as it would using regular diesel.
@@G.A.N.G101 thank you for getting back that is a nice car if he doesn't want to keep it please let me know how much he would want for it that is if he doesn't keep it otherwise he has a nice car God bless my friend and thank you
Man love your channel and you can call me a negative Nancy, safety Sally or whatever. But when you guys dropped that tow strap on the hitch ball....... The guys I offroad with are staunch safety dudes and that is a major no no. Pull out the insert, stick the strap loop in the tube and i insert the pin. There was a guy in Hudsonville getting pulled out of the ditch with a strap,the ball broke went through the windshield and killed him instantly. Didn't want to be a downer but that was hard to watch.
Understandable. Safety is important. The only difference here is that we're only rolling the car on a flat surface. Those big breaks only happen when people are really yanking on stuff. This was maybe 200 lbs of rolling mass it had to pull. The same or less than many trailers. The Mercedes has good brakes as well.
Thanks for replying, its your channel and we've followed you from the beginning. Just didn't want the wrong message portrayed. Love the content looking forward to some technical stuff like axles, engines etc. Thanks.
CHAD TIME TO REGROW YOUR FACE SWEATER I hear its getting cold up that way. UMMM You cant let us barely get a glimpse of that vette c'mon show it please lol. BTW hug my dog.
diesel mercedes of this vintage.......valve adjustment.......then a can of diesel purge run remote (from the can not poured into tank).........basic stuff.......ive bought so many and fixed where they sat in 15 minutes
That's exactly what Joe got done this week. Lashed the valves, replaced half the vacuum hoses and ran a bottle of diesel purge. It's like a new car again.
Autumn you do a great job filming need to show yourself more,your such a sweetheart
Very cool video , have a great day , God bless !
Love it! Have a great week!
Thank you Mark! You have a great week as well!

Great Mercedes you scored. fix was once in a life time.Please keep at videos, love projects. LOVE the professional camara girl.
I have a w123 200D in the same color (China Blue), it's pretty indestructible if you watch for the rust. Love your german impersonations lol
I got lucky with a rust free one. It'll only be driven in the summer. And thank you I watched too much TV as a kid 😂
Yeah brother! Outlaws on the run cruising the Mexican autobahn. Another great one.
👍 awesome what a lovely old merc what runnner 👍
I have never heard of that style of mechanical injection, super awesome 😎. Great find guys! And great job to Autumn on camera and in the bush!!
It’s quite like the 12 valve Cummins P pump injection system.
Wow..! You guys battling pretty near a thousand! That is a dang nice car❤🎉
Car buckled out but it compelled the sweet baby to crawl through bush.
Good it was safe no creepy creatures resting in the bush ....and appreciate her camera skills.
Autumn has definitely taken a liking to the camera. She does an awesome job! Have a great night!
Nice ride! Get it cleaned up and new fluids and definitely new tires and you've got a daily driver!
Wow !!! Awesome deal beautiful car 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽 wow!!!
Joe got a real deal on this one and pretty lucky
my dad used to have a diesel mercedes but im the winter it would freeze up, it was crazy, he had to bring in the battery every night if he wanted it to work the next day lol have fun with the new car hugssss
Awsome. The ford escort of the mercedes world. Love it!!
Hi, from 9252 Love old cars.
Cape Town South Africa
Thanks for watching much more to come!
Lo done guys, great score
You REALLY love challenges 👍😜
Whether it be homesteading or mechanical...
It keeps us alive ! 😆
This is awesome man ! Great stuff !
Thanks man!
You wouldn’t happen to have a turbo laying around we could slap on this diesel pig would yuh? 😆
@@G.A.N.G101 I don’t have a spare unfortunately. Haha
Nice car you guys got lucky
Yes we did! Thank you Raymond!
Buying up all the oldies. Now I'm waiting to see what yas do with them.
Camera girls took one for the team. Great job. And great filming.
The only thing that kills those is gelled fuel pretty much. Awesome.
Wondered where the girls were and then saw the camera girl. Love the body style of the car
One of the best cars ever W123. Always worth to save
You know that hood goes straight up

Kraftwerk🍺🤹🏼♀️🎹
Always wear your hand shoes when handling that Tetanus Tensioner Unit.
i think the hood has 2 positions so you can work on the engine
I'll have to look into that. I've banged my head like 4 times on the grille already with the hood up
you guys need a tow truck next to fix up and use hugsssss
We’ve got an idea for that!
Needs a giant turbo through the hood.
I’ve the same car, same color, same year.
Great car. It floats down the road amazingly well for its size

I don't understand why you needed to do all that winching. Just bring Tylynn along and she can just pick up the car and carry it.
😂
An oops free video? What is this?
It seems as if chad saved the day when Joe tried hooking up the battery backwards!! 😂
CHAD TIME TO REGROW YOUR FACE SWEATER I hear its getting cold up that way. UMMM You cant let us barely get a glimpse of that vette c'mon show it please lol. BTW hug my dog.
The vette is just a 100 yard away kinda beauty! 😂
