    In Germany, you should probably get 6 to 8 years in prison for this - and one year extra for the paint.

    Somewhere in Germany. A retired Mercedes worker is watching this and having a seizure.

    Love the way the pistons slid back into the cylinders without any pesky piston rings getting in the way... who needs compression anyway!

    First off, it's not a Maybach, it's a Taxicab with a 2 litre 4 cylinder economy engine. Second, a torque wrench is necessary to insure that things such as the connecting rods or main caps don't come loose. I give that engine about 200 miles before it's totaled by something coming loose and that is only if it driven at 30 mph or LESS. BTW, it's also not 50 years old, it's late 80-'s or later.

    I had a S650 Maybach super sports car just like this, paid about 2k for it back in the early 2000's, it was the 190E special taxi version. If this is 50 years old, I've just had my 130th birthday...

    Best restoration ever!! The sound of the engine in the end, very smooooothhh🤣

    Надо поддержать автора. Годный контент. Пусть в следующий раз Боинг 747 реставрируют и взлетают на нём.

    It's not a restoration, it's just a movie, it's a miracle for this car to walk ...

    I laughed out loud watching this Benny Hill video. I learned that with a pair of tongs, a brush broom and a few blows of the hammer, you can get the Barbie doll's car with the usual high quality of Asian industry and an acute concern for ecology and recycling. Thank you for helping to save the world, your contribution is invaluable. 🤣🤣🤣

    I never thought I'd see so much wrong done to a single car in my lifetime, and I've seen some pretty bad things. Congratulations, I couldn't do worse. And about that engine, I don't think you can make an engine run without any piston ring and with all that paint inside, so you probably got another one and put in there. But if by any means you made that engine run and move the car, I'm buying an old Mercedes tomorrow because that's probably the only thing we'll be able to drive after the machines take over.

    A true legend!

    This is actually 100 years old, well done finding and rescuing it

    Very interesting video, fellas. I really enjoy restoration projects. However, in the future, make sure that when you stage your finds, there's no "green" grass under a car that's been sitting for years.

    He paint the valve springs together. OMG. Master of restoration

    Epic. A 50 year old Maybach restored with plaster and ..more plaster. I think the engineers from Germany could learn how to build and maintain proper Maybachs. I hope you can restore a 70 year old Audi R8 soon, since the model are very rare. Did you plaster the cylinder heads too?
