The 108/109 family are glorious pieces of machinery; elegant, timeless and awesome MB engineering. She looks good when a chauffeur opens the door for you and she looks good when you take her out for a brisk work-out and flex those powerful muscles... I owned a 1972 280S for years and nothing will ever give me again that sensation of rock solid power....
Great work boys! Can't say I'd do it to one of my old girls but only because I don't have the money to burn. Good to see one of these getting a workout.
Love this shit, I think everyone saying he's destroying this beast knows fa about old Benz's, nannying around without giving em hell once in a while is what stuffs them, even the old sixes, I'd say if anything would run better after this, my Benz's always did
That was brilliant!!!! I have to know where this car lives! I have the same vehicle in white! I must meet the owner of this vehicle he is a legend!!!!!!!!
That's a real hand made V8. I've copped a lot of flack over having a Mercedes V8 and it's about time someone showed the truth. Good on ya boys, nice one.
Nice! Keep doing what your doin! Cars are meant to be driven. Performance cars are meant to be driven hard. HATERS gonna HATE!!! Its because they have nothing better in their life to do.
nice car. I like you really drive it like you do :D they are made for driving. My friend has one like yours and he takes the car every summer 4-5 times to track to really test it... but i don't like the exhaust. Btw i've got an 280SE w108.
You clearly don't understand the point of Erich Waxenberger's work in 1966. He decided, in his spare time, to see if it was possible to shoehorn the M100 lump into a 300sel for fun. He wanted to make something completely outlandish and unnecessary for fun. The 300sel was already an accomplished cruiser, but no fun. The whole point of this car is fun, not sitting in a dehumidified bubble on axle stands never to move again. It is insulting his hard work to treat it as a museum piece.
Simply, three words...LIKE A BAWSE!!!!!! Blowing the tires off is what this 6.3 Litre German muscle machine was meant to do. That and 150mph all day, everyday :)
1:47 thats how you drive away the goodfather from crime scene in 1975, little italy, leaving no tyreprints, just straight black lines and white smoke that slowly disapears with the wind... o_O
@carreracaballo I agree. Cars are meant to be driven. Maybe i still wouldnt treat this kind of a classic like this, but still. Locking them in a garage is the worst thing you can do.
Bloody tidy old beast you got there! There is one (not sure of year) getting around my way, it is a bit of a pig compared to this, but even still looks great. TWIN Turbo time I think!
Some wrote, he abused it.. You cant abuse these old gasoline Mercedes, they can travel at top speed 0-24 with good settings. They are bulletproof, at that time these were the best cars of the world. These are facts.
all old mercedes are extremly tough build cars. only way to kill em is NOT to drive. keep it going and it runs forever. btw-my job is to restore old cars. and im driving an 1970s car every day, even in snow and rain. no prob.
are these v8's? sounds good. as for sounding american: maybe people thought u were americans with australian accents?! lol. There are some odd keyboard warriors out there!
@Meistere30 Sorry, but i just want to say, i often read hitler comments about Mercedes cars. Hitler and the Nazis had nothing to do with the art of engineering of germans. Hitler an the Nazis were just a very short Period, that ruined it all. German engineering was before and is still there.. It is the sad that often those things are mixed up.

I can absolutely agree with this!!
I just love old skool german retro rides.

Great work boys! Can't say I'd do it to one of my old girls but only because I don't have the money to burn. Good to see one of these getting a workout.
What I would do to own one of these beauties...
Zero the Wanderer they are a maintenance nightmare...
... and when they break, they don’t break cheap.
They are pretty cool though.
Sell cocaine

This car is wonderfull!
I'm not usually a fan of burnouts, but that car is cool!!
Nice reply! Intelligent. Not something you see often enough.
Really crisp video of my all time favourite classic saloon. She's a beauty. Do you have any more videos of her?
NOTE: All the tire marks too and from this guy's driveway. I want to be his neighbor.
Nice! Keep doing what your doin! Cars are meant to be driven. Performance cars are meant to be driven hard.
HATERS gonna HATE!!! Its because they have nothing better in their life to do.
I love it
Fuck all the other commenters here, this car is dope and it is being used entirely appropriately.

Is it automatic? Im worried about doing burnouts on my merc as i really dont know if it hurts the automagical-box.

very nice car
But, almost forgot. That engine sounds like a fucking beast. Thnx for the video
This is so true. :) I have an 80's S Class, but if I had a bit more money in the pocket I'd definitely go backwards to a 70's or 60's bends.
Mint!

You know its right when you start giggle like a little school girl...
@carreracaballo I agree. Cars are meant to be driven. Maybe i still wouldnt treat this kind of a classic like this, but still. Locking them in a garage is the worst thing you can do.
I prefere that than the actual 6.3 amg !
His dads car?
Bloody tidy old beast you got there! There is one (not sure of year) getting around my way, it is a bit of a pig compared to this, but even still looks great. TWIN Turbo time I think!
Yeah, they are V8's. They're M100 engines from the 600 (W100 Mercedes).
great car, sad boy
Great looking car with the black on red! That being said, if I ever caught my own kid someday doing that to one of my cars I'd kick his ass.
Some wrote, he abused it.. You cant abuse these old gasoline Mercedes, they can travel at top speed 0-24 with good settings. They are bulletproof, at that time these were the best cars of the world. These are facts.
😍👍👹
hahahaha this is awesome
picking one up tomorrow for 1500$
When you have double black stripes on the road outside your driveway, you a 6.3 or a 6.9...
sad to see this car being treated like that.
That car was made to be treated like that, people saw it as a sports car in that time
at 1:08 the guy in the other car: " Oh my god, Hitler is coming for me!!"
Lmao
where as most people hoon around in an old honda. this guy....
@carreracaballo Second that!
What??? Uh....okay. Smart guy here...
I hope the white smoke from the rear is just tire and not smoke from a cold engine :(
Hoonigan :D
The word you’re searching for here is.....TWIRP.
LOL Waynand Calitz probably lives in the street, what a salty baggins he is.
all old mercedes are extremly tough build cars. only way to kill em is NOT to drive.

Needs rings.
amazing old Mercedes,
getting abused by silly little boy.
Poor. Car. No. Words.
Sorry but you don't deserve to have such a beautiful classic in your possession. You'll regret it l;ater on.
@Meistere30 Sorry, but i just want to say, i often read hitler comments about Mercedes cars. Hitler and the Nazis had nothing to do with the art of engineering of germans. Hitler an the Nazis were just a very short Period, that ruined it all. German engineering was before and is still there.. It is the sad that often those things are mixed up.
Jesus christ...He is hurting the car.
Er hat da irgendwas nicht verstanden.
