  • A beautifully restored 3.5 coupe with sunroof and manual transmission in 906 silver-blue on parchment interior. Much of the work involved the help of Daniel Landeros.

    Magnificent. No car company will - unfortunately - ever build anything of this quality again.

    The most beautiful Mercedes-Benz ever made!
    Mechatronik of Germany do a great job on these. They upgrade the chassis, electrics like windows and sunroof and fit a 5.6L V8 during the restoration. To top it all off the car can be returned into immaculate original condition at any time.
    Fun while owning, original when selling!

      They do a good job indeed but the price sky rocket to $350/400k !

    I totally see your viewpoint (and I assume you’re just talking about minor things like the reflectors on the side fenders, etc.). However, I think it really depends on what the car was like before the restoration. If the car came into the country fairly early after production, the U.S. required changes on the car (reflective side markers, and such). This particular car, while a European version, was ordered with all of the options that came on the U.S. model (Behr a/c, electric windows, etc.) and so now that the restoration has been done, it looks like it did when it was first on the road in the U.S. as a new car.

    It’s the 906 blue (translates silver-blue or blue-silver in German)..... my favorite color combination on a 3.5 coupe!

    • @TheLanceFrazier
      @TheLanceFrazier 5 років тому +1

      Silberblau ist ja sehr schöne! This is my favorite color combination, too.

    Nice job.
    But I don't understand why did you turn a euro spec car to U.S. spec and call it a perfect restoration job?

    • @stevedillinger3887
      @stevedillinger3887 6 років тому +2

      He didn't say it was a European spec. He said it was a European delivery. A U.S. spec car that the owner took deliver of in Germany. You can still do that today to combine delivery of your new Mercedes-Benz with a vacation in Europe.

    It is a beautiful restoration ,but not as good as the one done in Germany no where near it

  • @RAMROD4708
    @RAMROD4708 5 років тому

    I know of a 1971 280SEL sedan with a the big 4.5 V-8 and I have often wondered if it would be worth the time and money for the owner to restore it. Perhaps I'll pass this on.

  • @billfowler3467
    @billfowler3467 6 років тому +4

    To do a full nut-and-bolt restoration by someone who really knows their stuff, you’re talking in the neighborhood of $200,000 or so.......

    3000 hours might be worth while on a cabriolet, but not so much on a coupe
