The storm in Randy's area took out the power. Out for 6 days . ... I think hence the throwback
Cool, thanks! I thought he was out of town. Beautiful car! Wish it was a new video haha Hope he posts part 2
Reason why real estate is sooo cheap there....one can live like a millionaire there... just make sure u have an underground shelter
Oh.... That would make sense.
My thoughts as well. No power, no broadband. Randy may have a lot of new videos ready for when he can upload again.
Nice picks on this and the swamp vette throwbacks !
@@gregh7042interesting. What’s an average home cost there? By way of example here in NJ a 4 bed/2 bath on a quarter acre is $400-500K with property taxes $8-10K per year.
This was the video that brought me to the channel years ago.
Thumbs up for Tim!
is this a throwback video? I remember this...
Yes
It is, Tim is in the video.
yes
Randy Driving The Lemon Corvette
I think he said he was going to be in Indiana for three months on vacation with his family and I’ll bet he’ll be running reruns while he’s gone
My cousin had this car around 2005, 2006. Money pit. Was in the shop constantly. Was a beast when it worked but that was rare.
This was the video that brought me to the channel.😎
Flashback videos, shout out to Randy’s brother Tim.
That’s what I commented I remember his brother tim.
I think the Re -Runs are still great to watch. I am patiently waiting for some of the new content. I completely understand that you can't do anything to restore your home's power. I am hoping that it wil be restored quickly. Stay safe Randy.
These sight unseen vidoes are my absolute favorite
Hello Randy is this a Throwback Video Of Your First Mercedes Benz S-Class That you bought at IAA 4 Years Ago In 2019
randy looking 20 years younger in this video
So nice to see your brother there tell him we missed him
It's an old video Tim's not back .
Is this old video??
yes
Nice to see Tim back on your channel Rhandy. I still remember the days when you were still working on cars with him and Tim was also doing the washing of the cars.
سلام عليكم
Really nice seeing Tim back in the videos!
PLEASE no more cliff hangers, liked the different intro though. I can hardly wait to watch tomorrows video 💯👍
hello Tim, thanks for helping Randy 👍
I totally forget that you used to vape! And it was good to see Shelly do her thing!
This weekend in terre haute is bring back the bash!!!
We love you Randy from Africa Ghana
I see that atari 800 there, at least I think that's what that is!
Bingo!
Great throw back Randy 👍👏 Maybe someday can help me here. 05 ford five hundred ran 100% for 8 years had coils and plugs done now wont start has a weird gallop trying to start fuel pours from the throttle body into my air box 🤔
Glad to see tim back!
The suspension is Airmatic and obviously one side doesn't seal as good as the other, but these are prone to loosing air over longer periods of being parked. Obviously the compressor works, so if you don't feel it's tiny vibration after every few minutes wit larger bumps, then it is good for now. If the compressor pumps air in the shocks frequently, it's a cheap rebuild on the airbag shocks, maybe a line, but it shouldn't be bad either way with regards to the Airmatic
thats wrong. S600 only came with ABC which is a suspension based on hydraulic fluid. no air.
@@vornamenachname5589 Oh ok so it has the hydraulic balls like the CL AMG 55, I know older E classes W211 wagon had rear airbags and I have felt the compressor pumping, is that air , or also hydraulic?
Randy reversing Father Time . Getting younger . 😂
Thank you Randy for not listening to those of us who said not to buy the Mercedes. I love my Mercedes!
Thats a beast of a car. Keep it.
This is an old video, this car is long gone.
Can't wait to see the car Randy. 😎👌🤞
Great throwback video Randy, the cliffhanger is great for everyone , hope you caught the storm on the go pro that hit ya"all, stay safe , well waiting for the next one , peace
I thought you were re-buying another S600….then it all seemed too familiar…😂
Randy, if anybody can take that car on. . .its you. This is very exciting.
Randy, WELL DONE! with your chin reduction (I am there too) You're doing really well!
I am surprised Monkey Pox Mike didn't snatch that one up in his backyard! I imagine we'll see him help straighten it all out. Its a beautiful car and should really detail out beautifully.
Mercedes Benz S600 V12 1998-2008 that has maintenance and maintain with regular oil , Randy should able to sell $5,000-$6,500 Mercedes Benz S600 V12 once restored .
Vary awesome indeed. Nice job on getting the V12 S600. Sweet.
Love it when you do this .Brilliant
You have to check the engine wiring harness for damage.
Randy how lucky was that hook up booster car starts levels out. Nice purchase
I remember this s class. How about another one?
Dude! Is that a Pet Commodore computer over your shoulder next to the printer? That is cool. Especially if it still works!
It’s an Atari 800 my dad bought new. Still works.
hope ur brother is doing well whatever he’s doing.
This takes me back - the video that got me subscribed to this channel!
These AMG wheels only are worth what you payed for the car! You dit a great job!
Lets' just be honest here, you're not trying to convince us you're trying to convince yourself. 😂
Nice one randy can’t wait for the ride home!
That was awesome that it started.
Still remember this vlog when it was originally posted..
Yep
Tim is back finally
2001 that was the pinnacle of luxury and power. The W220 is by far one of my favorites aside from the square body that came before it.
In my opinion the W222 was the pinnacle. or the W126 when it comes to classics. 2001 was in fact the worst era for mercedes. and i say that even as an owner of a W220 myself.
It was the first video that i watched back in 2018
Nice throw back Randy! Miss your videos, but stay safe my friend!
Hey Randy, I got one question do you like getting punished or something? 😂😂
Like these old videos Randy i remember this!
That car has and amazing soft suspension if it works
Wow wot a great bargain, you need a bit of good luck going your way for a change 👍
Well done on MB600. It was a charity car so should be ok. You will get plenty of views and if all fails it can be a parts car! Well done, great car, the Monkey Man will b v v jealous! O question, I see you say you have to get a Cashiers Cheque, can you not in the US just do a wire Transfer to the seller?
I just love it when the Corvette engine revs up into the higher range
FIRST VIEWER! hope everyone have a blessed day! thanks for great content randy!
Hi Randy. Thats a Nice Merc. With a Clean up and polish you will definitely make money with it. 😊
It's a rerun he been sold this car
The auto body control ABC is a common fault with these era Benz but they can be serviced. By the looks of it you got a bargain. These V12’s are bulletproof when regularly serviced & although it’s on AMG rims it’s not an AMG car. If you need performance parts Renntech manufactures some fantastic stuff.
nice old school Atari 800 and the Commodore monitor !
Good eye!
i miss this type of video i been here since 2018 i love how you gnew 😀
Flash back to the w220 S600 Randy bought few years ago. Lol
The s600’s are not AMG. But sometimes owners will place amg parts like wheels on them. Shucks they do it on other models also.
Impressive project car for someone looking to rebuild a classic car.
That's not a classic mate, last modern classic is the W140.
@@renes3360 Agree! I have a '97 w140 (actually a v140, "v" being lwb ones)...last of the over-engineered "bank vault" Benz b4 Lexus drained their revenue stream, so here we have the engineered-to-a-price-point to compete w/Lexus cost cutter era w220 S-class...they dialed back it's styling for more mass appeal to soccer mom's instead of the w140 for CEO's/mafia bosses, why the w220 looks more big-Camry than a baller. These got lost in the crowd when new.
@@KP-zi6jx my father gave me his Black w140 1997 44k miles lwb before he died, so I put the 18" MERCEDES ELTANIN WHEELS and had all the windows tinted. He was a business owner and always wore suits no matter where he was going. It was a proper Benz for a proper men. Now I see cheap S class Benz for a 18 year old year girl that barely knows how to drive.
It's a oldie but a goodie 🎬🚘👍. Salute Randy 👊😎
I remember this video where’s Tim
Interesting, but what year did you shoot this video Randy? I’m not ragging on you my friend, in fact, I’m looking forward to watching it!
Edit: so did you make it home, lol? Please don’t leave us hanging, although I guess I could look for your original post of this video.
I do want to let you know that I have enjoyed watching this despite it being a “re-run”. Hell, the big tv networks run hundreds if not thousands of reruns a year so the dozen or two you run a year are still entertaining and well worth watching.
I want to add that your production quality, while very good in this video, has improved greatly since this one. I think it’s fair to say it’s gone from very good to fantastic! I always look forward to your next one and you never disappoint!
Peace my friend,
DrRick
I think it was 3 or 4 years ago.
My first thought was hey, Randy looks a lot younger. 😁
Thanks it’s my new diet.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Haha, that was a good diet.
Good job good luck
where is the drive home video, went looking for it the next day, and there was an old video about the swap vet uploaded. and today, thought i did enjoy the video, was a fleet update. but where is the drive home video? was the wrong video uploaded? thanks for your awesome content!
I knew she was going to fire up and run!!! 👍🙂 And she drives too.
Timmmmyyyy!!!
I could not be anu worse than the one you got a few years back.
Corvette sounds and runs great.
My dream car.
Sight unseen is always interesting
Dares by MWM? 😂 (jk)keep it up ya u with Mercedes these days! Keep it up and we’ll see how it goes! I wasn’t a subscriber back in 2019-20 but see you’d two of these! We’ll see what happens!!!
Aqui na Europa existe kits de suspensão normais para a troca desses a ar
First excited to watch it. But it looks old
realise how the service date was exceeded by 730 days? Exactly 2 years? lol
Nice cliff hanger
Great video. Personally I would brush off the peanuts and mouse poo from the engine, but that in itself might grab a viewers attention to make them watch the next video.
Love the show … from the uk
Hope it works out!!
I was trying to figure out where the corvette came from. I think ya got a winner winner chicken dinner. How was your new helper? I think I've seen him in a few videos.
Hi Randy have fun
Hey Randy would be great if you more motorcycle, Side by Side or atv,s content
Nice ride, heard MB spent $1 billion on the W140 program. Hope it is a decent car. cheap price. What years have the biodegrade engine harnesses?
Nice score 😎😎👍👍
Oh shoot I remember when randy used to feature his brother Tim. Hope everyone is ok and power is back on I watch lucky he’s out there in okc said there’s a big storm.
What!!! Tim's back when did this happen?
I remember seeing this video.
Come on Randy where’s the drive merc video it’s the next day and I’m waiting 😢
I'm stupid. I paused it 10 secs to make my comment. It's your Brother!
Probably needs shocks, all 4 bearings, motor mounts, ball joints, diff fluids change, possible carrier bearings and drive shaft bearings, and a shit ton of stuff.
Struts and shocks are new, bearings are fine, motor mounts are perfect, there are no carrier bearings on the DS.
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Not bad deal then! I have a 2007 E350 garage kept when I bout it off a guy I had to change all of that except for the shocks that were pretty much new. Looks in excellent condition but high mileage and needed to get it to ride like it should has the Amg sport package in the V6
Call mike let him take a look at it he the men fro these cars
holy shit its Tim!!
is that an electronic typewriter?😅
What a bargain...parts alone are worth much more than $1680.
