The AMG GTR for sure. But nothing can replace the spot in my heart for the facelift W210 E55 AMG with monoblock wheels. Alex you should get one on the channel! Maybe swap an M113K in it😉
I have a 2001 E430 Sport 233,000 miles, I bought it for $1700 in Arizona completely rust free. It has been incredibly reliable for the past few years. The only real complaint I have is I just want more power. 275HP is enough to have a little fun, but I find myself loosing races to pretty standard cars. I plan on swapping an M113K within a couple years to fix that issue
It's fairly common for owners to pay somebody to take their vehicle and give them the keys and tell them to carefully strip it and dump the vehicle. Then they file an insurance claim. After getting paid for the insurance claim they buy it back and reassemble it with an R title using the parts that were carefully removed.
@@CHLM98 very true, I just hit 265,000 miles today in my ‘06 e500. It’s not the AMG version with the supercharger but it’s done well by me all these years
some theft rings are know to strip a car and keep the parts dump the body and then buy the car body back and then put it back together. Something like that may of happened here and then they got busted before they had the chance to do it.
@@mattrobinson5099 true. even if they would buy this they could take the parts and sell them and buy an engine. or find someone who will rebuild the motor.
@@mattrobinson5099 maybe less shady to store engine in parts, than a whole engine. Or, it could be to "sell" the engine parts off shore (e.g. move the engine to europe). Then buy the body and ship it as well.
I believe some more expensive German cars actually have the VIN stamped on parts, usually in a place where grinding it off would be obvious. Could be they realised it'd be traceable and just decided to not bother.
Somebody spent a few hours on that! Days!! Mercedes doesn’t make their grills easy to pop out for their engines to slide out even easier, owner did sum shady for the insurance claim garuntee it
Everybody swears by the G wagons doors, but have you ever heard a late 80s early 90s jeep Cherokee? Sounds like the same thing to me… Thanks for the videos, cheers!
G63 frame would be ok, change pan hard rods and drag link , tie rod. Diff housing might be bent if anything. I repair these for a living , worst case the panhard rod mount to frame might be bent but very unlikely
I bet those ones with all the writing are traded in. The dealer put all the marks on it to give the owners are very low estimate of the value of their trade in.
Man, try and get that S class and rebuild the engine. Excellent video content, should provide you with weeks worth of vids (at the price of weeks of work maybe). It's going to go cheap as you said and the end result would be an awesome car. You can always LS swap it as JR suggested if you must.
You can‘t rebuild this type of engines. At least not so easy. I have a C63 with the 4l V8, and it was at Mercedes for a repair of the timing chain rails. I live in Hamburg, Germanys 2nd biggest city and there is only 1 certified mechanic who knows how to work with these engines.... in a city with 1.8 million people. The garage was Mercedes Benz AMG performance centre. You can really f**k things up without the proper tools.
Replacement headlights are probably worth as much as my car 😳 I reckon they should buy it and install a new engine. Not that I have the faintest what that would cost
Bought a 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara early this year for $500, it had a completely disassembled, to about the last nut and bolt, engine in the back of the wagon. I've finally got the engine all back together again and ready to run in the next week. That Merc ain't too big a project.
The paint marks are used by auto body shops when they do a repair, usually for insurance purposes. They maker up all the spots and write notes and take photos for the adjuster.
The detailed writing on the Mazda Tribute is probably from an insurance carrier training or quality assurance calibration event where they bring the appraisers in and spend a day or two going over common issues that are missed.
It's engine displacement. It's a Ford 460 that's been sleeved to 435ci so it can handle boost. That thing could be the holy grail of mustangs and those guys walked right by it
I know for a fact that Mr. Steve Saleen made some 435S mustang's and lord know's there's greater odds in winning a $billion$ lottery jackpot than that yellow mustang being a real Saleen 435S but I figured that I would share that for the folks who didn't know 😂 and just out of sheer curiosity I'm on ebay scrolling through tons of vinyl, plastic and even thin stamped metal variants of knock off 435 gt emblems!! So far I haven't came across the very same one's on the yellow crowd-control officer vehicle but they may have been made by someone local to the previous owner 🤷♂️ who knows really but if I do by chance find those exact one's I'll be sure to post where I found them lol
@6:58: I was always amazed at that big single swivel joint in the front wheel suspension on these. Massive Worked in an oil change shop as a kid and trust me, up close these joints are huge. These are such tanks. Would love to have one with an LS in it.
For those of us that are OCD I’d point out every dent or scratch like the Mazda has!Love the video..I’d love to see some more 80s or later GM cars like a toronado trofeo for instance.The other thing I noticed is all those cars prob are crawling with corona! Stay safe
I really don't think that's a real GT350R. The wheels are the R350 replicas, not the carbon wheels. The offset is crazy on the carbon wheels which requires 4" studs on the front. Those studs are recessed way in. Dead giveaway that they are not the carbon wheels and not the 350R studs/hubs. The base 350 had the shorter studs like this. They are most likely the R350 replicas. Very suspect. It looks legit though. The seats, steering wheel, badging, and even the rear spoiler (which is $11,000 by itself because it's carbon too), but those wheels and hubs make it quite suspect for me. Plus, at 12:13 you can see the paint missing and that's not carbon under there. You can also see the lugs are recessed inside the openings and the carbon wheel lugs sit against the surface. Someone went to a lot of trouble to turn their base model 350 into an R replica.
We had a full Ring set up at my house. That membership fee kept eating at us. We ended up switching to Arlo. You can use local storage. Best security decision we made
So the deal with the Mazda Tribute is that was a body shop "blue printing" before the insurance company or the body shop begins writing the estimate. They do that mostly for protection against the owners blaming the body shop for additional damage.
i bought 2 vehicles that where no engines, ( stripped ) by classification, but had clean titles so i suspect they both had mechanics leans and obviously the shop sold the vehicle to get back labor price and lot fees
There are two types of chop shoppery. One where they just strip the car for parts the other where they do just enough to total the vehicle so the can buy it at auction and re fit all the parts they stripped off and of course the take care in the stripping so they don't have to actually buy new parts.
Those marks on the mazda tribute are from a bodyshop/ insurance company to determine whether or not the car is salvageable (worth its value in repairs) or not, you won't find those marks on anything with engine/transmission issues (usually)

Then they file an insurance claim.
