This guys reminds me of me 😂 complaining at the bad drivers

Really liking the second camera angle!

Thanks for sharing the story of this car with us. Truly fascinating. Its one thing to have something special, but its a whole another thing to have something special that has a story to tell.

Is cabin crew gonna stay?

Is the dual cam setup going to be the new normal? I think it works well. Great video and great car.

Thank you for the dedication with these videos.

6:48 - thanks for showing how the whole set up looks. I must say it looks "intriguing"

What a beauty!

The creaking sound is just the door panels against the door sil, if you put grease on them they get quiet. My W126 has no creaks or squeaks or rattles with minor interior maintenence.

I wonder how current luxury electric cars will look like in 40 years?

The lore behind this car makes it all the better.

C-Netz telefon :)

Driving a fast car in the US must be so frustrating, you can never (legally) go ham

This is just so choice and period correct, it's awesome.

The people that need to watch this video are the ones who arent going to. I hope they do though.. but I'm not holding my breath.

Mercedes 560 sel and sec amg cars will always be some of my favorite cars ever build. Amazing video as always!

Very nice old school Merc! Used to see these all the time growing up. Side note: Been following for a few years and glad to see the passenger view camera back again in addition to the POV! Keep up the good work!

every single civic type r has an LSD

Dont these go for like $$200k+ currently

Tedward sir, i have 560sel now, and i want know, maybe u help to answer. Ole bentley or rolls royce 80s-90s era - have similar feeling, whe u drive it??? Or bentley/rolls way smoother???

That is one cool car!

This is the Mercedes time period that I grew up with and adore. Doors and trunk lids that went "Thunk." Overengineered and built like a tank. Elegant and simple. Nothing for show. The car itself was proof that you had style and prestige. If a base SEL was "Kind of Blue" style of sophisticated and accessible, then this AMG is a CEO in a suit who occasionally switched up Jazz for Motorhead.

Rev matching is more of a fun thing than something necessary. You really don't need it.

What is fancy about this, is it is a British designed sports car. It has the most focus on lightness. The power to weight ratio is mad. It also has an inspired chassis, allowing you to turn corners while driving fast. Not at all fun on a straight freeway. All that guff about the special suspension, well forget about it.

Would love to drive like this but i'm currently in NYC. I have to use the right lane to pass people because they camp in the left lane. WIsh the driving test was more rigorous with these etiquettes. Would help everyone in the long run.

These look so good dude. Every angle is 🤩

Can't beat the character and history of the W126.

Automatic, bleh

Woah face reveal! 6:31 nice to see you outside of a chrome horn button or a rearview. That gopro rig looks awkward to drive with but I appreciate you capturing at eye level.

I've seen AMG Mitsubishi once) obviously it wasn't very popular)

My 63 had a rod connected to the front license plate holder that tilted the plate parallel to the ground when the hood was opened.

I'd kill for one of these with an OM606 swapped in it.

What is 'the Depreciation Society'? Searching, I only get an accounting organization. Do they have other old cars that represent great values?

What's unbelievable is that the JDM version of this car was on sale for 30k$ 6 years ago, but it was sold later just 3 months back on bringatrailer for 100k$+

Oh no Tedward, please keep your videos strictly POV, they're why I enjoy your channel so much, and what makes your content that much more enjoyable than other YT reviewers.

ultimate go kart

Todays cars r junkkk

There is nothing sexier than old school stance, like this Merc has. You cant recreate it today.

Be careful the muscle car bois will chastise you calling a German car a muscle car. I got that treatment comparing my 560sl to one.

Old Mercedes was just peak. They're just a shadow now of what they once were.

it’s nice seeing an actual workhorse vs a garage queen. glad this car was used

sick

Can’t beat the old Mercedes - wouldn’t buy any Mercedes made in the past 10 years, but would totally buy these 70’s and 80’s Benz’s

second, and love these cars, be careful with the hood! I went to buy one and the salesman went to pop the hood. he put it through the windshield! I was like, ill call you later

V8 Benz is the best

Early! :O Old Mercedes cars are some of the best looking older cars!

first

Formula SAE was essential to how my career in the automotive industry has progressed. Students heavily involved come away with years more equivalent experience than their collegiate peers and are top hires.

I currently own all import brand that were made in the US. I own a 2017 Accord, 2000 Sienna and a 2007 Tundra, all of which are quite reliable and refined, not so much the Tundra though. However, my first two cars were 1975 5Grand Prix and a 1973 Grand Prix both with 400 Quadrajets and throaty dual exhausts. I haven't owned either in many years but man do I miss the driving experience. They were both dogs, performance wise, got horrible gas mileage but sounded and looked great. I was constantly working on them to the point where the local parts store owner knew me by name. The thing is, they were very simple and easy to work on provided you have tools and a place to work on them. This video is quite accurate in that there is no experience quite like a classic American muscle car. The sounds they make and raw power are unique and a bit intoxicating.

Sad that I never had a fun car back when i was living in SoCal, we have our fair share of fun roads up here in the bay area but Angeles Crest is on a whole other level
