@h.r.1523 why what?

@@datsoon9236 Dodge?

@@h.r.1523 yeah they're junk

@@datsoon9236 😂 yes but if they get you from point A to point B? Oh nevermind, on 2nd thought, don't answer that 🤣

@@h.r.1523 it won't even do that 🤣

@h.r.1523 yes! Most came in manual. It's a lot of fun. My friend ended up purchasing this car yesterday! Kinda jealous! Lol

@@datsoon9236 I figured they did. I was just glad to see they didn't go with the 2000s trend of making all the cars automatic. That's cool, but the true classics are even better 😂

@@theguy8242 hahaha

@@theguy8242 That Tesla truck was gross 🤢

@@tylerbennion4962 well well well... seems we have another local 🤣

Haha, a little newer than that! But close

@@datsoon9236 no, no, no I want it be older and restored 😂

@h.r.1523 yes mam'! This one is late 80's, but the older ones are wonderful

@@datsoon9236 Initially I was going to say an 85 to 89. But I wanted it to be closer to production time 🤣 How can you tell from that far away?

@@h.r.1523 haha just the bodystyle. That would be a good guess!

@@sol.ringen heck yeah brother!

@@scott331 I agree! I wasn't a big fan of the one from 2001...

@@thatoneguy9015 my reaction indeed 🤣

Hahaha yup

@@datsoon9236 😂

Hahaha thank you 🤣

🤣🤣🤣 he's 22 I believe. It is unfortunate. But at least he's a good sport about it, haha

Interesting.

Unfortunately, I don't personally have the software to do it. My friend did it for me using his computer and software. It is called PA Soft. It's very easy to use to be honest.

Hahaha thank you

Hahahaha thank ya

Yeah! About 1 year ago

Yeah, it certainly it. Started up immediately 10 minutes later

Unfortunately we did not. I replaced the speed sensor, but it was the wrong part. I Unfortunately sold tbe vehicle now though. I really miss it.

However, we did manage to use the JB Weld, and it worked to keep it together.

It's a very hard watch to find. I've looked online but haven't managed to find one. Thank you! Yeah, I thought it was proper and German to go with the car well.

Isn't it!? The forests in Utah are gorgeous

No kidding, haha. I had to get my hat that I accidentally left in there. It was certainly spooky

Haha yeah, no kidding. Had to go in alone because I forgot my hat, as you can see. It was spooky

Hahaha I appreciate it 🤣

Hahaha I am! And I do all my auto work myself 😂 it's a pain. I myself own 6 classic cars, and it's a bit of a pain to maintain them all

I would agree! Yeah! They're awesome! I certainly didn't bring my coolest car. But I still do love the e39

Very true Zach

Hey thanks! I did have to program the cluster, but it wasn't hard at all. I did it with my friend using PA Soft. The mileage that was on the car that the cluster came out of is what it would be, but you can easily program the correct mileage in. There will be a damper dot by the mileage, but you can also code that out.

Thank you for quick reply. And thank you for helping all e39 fans

@@Mega2716 yeah absolutely! Thanks for watching!

Of course! I agree with you. Lots of diamonds in the rough. Thanks for watching!

Hahaha yes indeed

Thanks! Haha, I know... super sad...

@@datsoon9236 yeah that's very sad! A Mercedes-Benz is high beautyful quality!!!!! And people who don't like a Mercedes-Benz one word ,WALK!!!!!

@dannygeuens8570 hahaha I absolutely would agree. I'm a big BMW guy and I do prefer BMW's because they are sportier, but I love me a good Benz! And I love my w114 250!

@@datsoon9236 you are the man! I do like b.m.w.!!!!!

@@dannygeuens8570 thank you!!

Yeah, that is true. 3 speed auto, or 4 speed manual on the tree right? Did they have a 3 speed manual option?

That's awesome! Yeah, this place is in Murray, Utah

Yeah, it could very well be worth that much. It's insane.

Some of the ones in the back are for sale from my understanding. Certainly would be amazing projects or parts cars

Thanks? 😂

Wow! That's awesome! Lucky you lol

Where is this yard

@@petnation4970 the hard I went to is in Murray Utah

@@datsoon9236 The yard I referenced was in the hinterland hippy hills of Byron Bay / Shire, New South Wales, Australia. It’s now defunct and cleared - since close to two years ago - it is no more. But many spare parts *did* find new homes and second lives. There were dozens of each ’70s / ’80s / ’90s series, and a lot of MLs. My W180 (ponton), 108s, 111 (Heckflosse / fintail), 112 coupé, 116s (including a *very rare* Crayford Estate - a bespoke conversion with celebrity provenance - but a different story), 123, 124, 126s incl an SEC, 140, 201s … were drip-fed parts from that overgrown paddock of humidity- and rust-related rot in Paradise and kept running for years on relative rag fumes. One always made sure to be wearing serious boots, gaiters, gloves, and gauntlets when scavenging parts. It wasn’t unknown for surprises to appear in the form of large snakes keeping cosy in engine bays, boots (trunks), and even cabins. I did once concede primacy to a large, frightened, defensive, and territorial python in my attempt to detach a K-Jet fuel distributor. That job waited a week in the hope that Joe Blake would move on. Which it did. 🙂 Redback spiders were another hazard of exploring that yard - but we Aussies grew up with those, too - easy peasy.

Yes

Whoa whoa whoa buddy. That's my wife. Take it easy 😂

Are you sure it's bone stock? I own an e39, and it has a little hit of camber, but barely any. Entirely stock suspension. I've also never seen an e39 with this much camber, and I am in an e39 club where I've seen 50+

ok i had to check it again it's not that bad as in the video but there is slight camber i don't know if it's by default like that the car has 511k km or 300k miles and still runs great doubt any new car will make it that far.@@datsoon9236

That's wonderful!! My 72' 250 has dual Zenith's. I'm currently rebuilding them. I have the same goal with mine. Luckily, the interior is immaculate and it has 70,000 original miles. All it needs to be in perfect condition is the carbs finished, and a new paint job

I do! I'll be posting them soon.

@@datsoon9236 do you have Darlin’? If you do, can you post that one?

Of course! Thanks for watching! There isn't anything else you need to do to pull it out. Just the two screws. Yours is probably so friction fit in there that you think there is something else that needs to be done, but there isn't. Keep wiggling it back and up and down while pulling outward. It will eventually come out. It's just stubborn. Good luck!

@@datsoon9236 Thank you! Nob, It moves but will not come out more than 10 mm.

@@karttu1 that's weird. Just keep trying at it. I bet you'll get it eventually..
