  • I've always wanted a Twin-Turbo V12 AMG Mercedes and so my Buddy Sam took me to a Copart Salvage Auction to check out one of the best. They only made 52 of these cars in 2006 and it's one of the most sought after V12 AMG in existence. This super low mileage example started right up and due to some exhaust "modifications," it sounds amazing.
    Stay tuned until the end for a big hint on the project car that Sam and I and possibly another guy are working on. 0-60 in 3 seconds!

      It is a cool and rare car, to be sure. But one of the greatest? Ehh... I for one rather think about the 300SL Gullwing or some of the other oldtimers there. Call me crazy if you will, but I like those old cars - those were really built to last forever (almost). Whereas the newer ones, though still durable, have so many gadgets, bells, and whistles that some of them are sure to break. The more tech a machine has, the more things can break. PLUS you can still get parts for those oldtimers I spoke about earlier.

    I love it!! Earliest mass produced vehicle with hydraulic suspension that I can think of is the Citroen DS from the mid 1950s. The hydraulic suspension automatically leveled and also lowered down when parked for easy access. The hydraulic suspension also allows for wheel/tire changes without jacking the car up.
    It also had headlights that turned with the steering wheel that I believe were hydraulically operated as well.

    That Rolls is a Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward 2 door saloon (wow what a mouthful). 6.25L all alloy V8 and quite rare. Height adjustable hydraulic suspension all round. '70 onwards they had a 6.75L engine , no height adjust on the front and was called the Corniche. That's what I've got sitting in my shed waiting for some love!

      More info on the wikipedia:
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Silver_Shadow#Silver_Shadow
      "A distinctive feature was a high-pressure hydropneumatic suspension system licensed from Citroën, with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension. At first, both the front and rear of the car were controlled by the levelling system; the front levelling was deleted in 1969 as it had been determined that the rear levelling did almost all the work.[4] Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride quality with this arrangement."

  • @JohnDavis-ed5sg
    @JohnDavis-ed5sg 2 роки тому +1

    Late in the day but (from England) I can tell you that this Rolls is an early Silver Shadow Coupe, the predecessor of the Corniche. Early Shadows had all round hydraulic self levelling which was deleted after 1971 in favour of rear only height control. ostensibly to upgrade the handling but really to cheapen manufacture. This car was coachbuilt by Mulliner-Park Ward, a bankrupt traditional coachbuilder which RR had recently taken over. The colour is not British Racing Green - that would be much darker and non-metallic. It clearly once had a vinyl covered roof, fashionable in the late sixties, and was probably a British delivery as it's RHD. A nice car, still cheap for what you get, and restoration is only now becoming viable as values slowly increase. Great channel too!

    3:20 At that time, "TD" was for Estate Diesel.
    The "T" stands for a German word for Estate / Station wagon / 2-volume type of car.
    Diesel was for the Diesel Engines.
    Than, with the addition of Turbos, the added a big sticker stating "TURBODIESEL" on the right, much like "CDI" in the 2000s.
    E was for the Electronic injection of Petrol.
    So, there are some with TE, and other with only T.

    Technical info: the front A-pillar reinforcement is high-strength steel, the C-pillar aluminium. The roof, which includes the C-pillar "cover", is also aluminium. Meaning, you would have someone who could weld aluminium and find out how they joined both reinforcements, in case the rear one(s) is damaged, as obviously you can't weld steel with aluminium.
    My advice: leave it - am a C215 owner myself, and you want them as perfect as possible. BTW, the 55K is way more exciting to own long-term than the sedated 65TT, whose appeal wears off quite quickly.

  • @monsterram6617
    @monsterram6617 4 роки тому +8

    I've got a bone to pick with you, good sir. I took your advice and used eManualOnline and boy was that a mistake. Let me explain because I'm sure you're going to want to hear this.
    I have a 2014 Ram 2500 4X4 w/6.7 Cummins. I ordered what was claimed to be the service and repair manual for this vehicle. Well, the first time they sent me a manual for a 2003 Cobra King dirt bike. So I contacted them to let them know there was an error. They responded with a link to DL another manual, but this time for "2009-2014 dodge ram" which is a bit strange because over that period of time there were drastic changes between the 1500s alone so it's odd that they'd be all included in one manual. Anyways, I start looking through this "manual" and it's literally over 17,000 pages of random information on various models throughout that year range and lacks huge swaths of information, like nothing on any of the suspension or front axle which is what I need it for. It really looked more like someone photocopied a Chiltons manual and complied it into a huge pdf. No table of contents, or any organization. Just random pages of information and nothing complete for any year or model.
    So I again reach out to customer service and in the period of 18 hours they send me the same pdf just renamed six different times. I continue to explain that this doesn't cover my truck and they tell me that this is all they have... and no mention of refunding my money. So I tell them specifically that I'd like a refund since they obviously do not have what they sold me. They then tell me that "we have another manual, which is software driven. That manual definitely includes your model. I can set that up for you if you wish." Clearly this is a bait-and-switch. I don't want anything but what was advertised, which is a pdf service and repair manual for a 2014 Ram 2500 4X4. Now all of a sudden, after 18 hours of them sending me the wrong manual, six times over in hopes I'd eventually go away, they "definitely" have the manual. I just need to get their software and have one of their techs set it up? Yeah, no thanks. This has all the hallmarks of a scam.
    It's been awhile now since I've requested a full refund and they've not responded. I honestly can't believe you're recommending this to your subscribers. Damn, now I'm burned on $20 and I still need to get the specifics for pulling apart my front axle. Thanks Alex, I hope they pay well. 🤷‍♂️

    • @andrewlongfield3102
      @andrewlongfield3102 4 роки тому

      Yaseenshuja. The CL63 badge is Mercedes way of saying the car is a V8. The 65 badge identifies the car as a V12. It also identifies the cars as AMG builds as the factory cars are badged CL500 for V8's, and CL600 for V12's. This badging covers both the 215 and 216 models. The S class is the 220 model and subsequent 4 door models. The CLS models are built on E class platforms, not S class, so a CLS63 is a very different beast to a CL63, but both are V8's built by AMG.

    • @andrewlongfield3102
      @andrewlongfield3102 4 роки тому

      Yaseenshuja; Sorry dude, just checked some AMG figures, and you are right, there were some V12's built in the early nineties, and badged as C63's. The production numbers are crazy low, like 23 or something, but they are still there. Maybe they rationalized the badging after this.
