What a real person we're dam lucky to have u.
Great story...you can tell that he is and was on a pathway of success. 2008 was a hard time financially for America "the crash of 08" but he pulled through it and even began to accelerate. That took a lots of pluck and sheer effort. When someone sleeps in their car, and can work all night, that man is a MAN. Hats off to Mr. Hedary.
UCF alumni, psych NP. Psychiatry funds things but the real passion is Mercedes and Porsches. Great story Pierre!
your honesty makes you a GENIUS!!!! Thanks for sharing...........
GENUIS AND LEGEND FOR SHURE !
I remember that barn you worked out of, and I'll never forget the first time you came over to my house to adjust the valves of my 220D. That was a long time ago. I love these videos keep them coming
that was a lot of fun, Kevin! I am so glad Nick Feola didn;t kill me when i left the barn...how have you been these days?
Thank you Pieire
Cool mini series! Nice to know the history behind the mechanic! Looking forward to part 3
thank you for watching Duke!
Crazy stuff! BTW, the first car I bought was a 73 220D back in 1997 from a sketchy used car lot in Boston. The car was ratty and well used but not very rusty. I discovered that it was originally a California car and managed to contact the original owner whose number I found on some service receipts. He told me that it had over 700,000 miles on it! I drove it on and off for 7 years and even cross country! I still have it but it’s in pieces now. I’m hoping to get it back together some time soon as I really miss driving it.
wow Dmitri...what a story! hope you finish it
Pierre!!!! Great story 1&2 my searching for Mercedes info brought me to your site as I was cataloging info for my 6.9 which needs your wisdom and experience as well as some of my own elbow grease. I am proud to have at least talked to you and assimilate some the info from you! You're the Greatest and you have the experienced to back it. Thanks to you my classic Mercedes will not be sold or chopped up and sold for PARTS!
James, as long as your're motion you're working towards the goal- do not give up
The journey ain't over yet and you are more than likely to be pretty amazed where you finally end up. Keep rollin' Pierre :)
thank you for the kind words!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your story, both part one and two.
Looking forward to the next parts!
thank you!!
Good Morning Pierre, back on the saddle after my short sojourn in Florida. It has been a pleasure to meet you, and have the opportunity to converse with you at your shop. I appreciate your time, which is certainly very valuable. I have become a Patron of your Channel, and I am glad I will be able to contribute in a small fashion to the production of these great videos.
Not only I have the '85 500 SEL coming to you in the next couple of weeks, but I also bought another headache, a '85 500 SEC, which has been abandoned for a long time. I do not have any idea what I am going to find when I get it, but, this is my style. As my Wife would put it, I am a sucker for punishment, and I take challenges, that take me beyond my abilities, but, after all of these years living like this, why change now?
I am dedicating a lot of time to watch your videos and learning everything I can about MB's and the maintenance of them. As I mentioned in our meeting, I enjoy driving machines, which function as it was intended. I do not want "rocket ships", or to brake the Land Speed Record, that is not my style, I enjoy driving, pure and simple, whether is a sailboat, a car, or a plane, I enjoy when all components perform as expected, and if they don't, I enjoy the challenge to make them so. Nothing clears the mind, like a good road-trip, in an excellent automobile!
Thank you again for your time, hopefully will see you in the next few weeks, after the delivery of "Old Blue"...(all of my cars have some sort of pseudonym, I got the "Green Hornet", '75 Imperial, "Silver Bullet", '76 Chrysler Cordoba, "Red Baron", '77 Chrysler Cordoba, and finally "Franz", '79 Volkswagen Cabriolet). I think, I'm opening an exciting chapter in my life, rescuing these old, forgotten machines, and as I learn more about them, I'm starting to realize, that I have made the correct decision, venturing into the Mercedes-Benz world. Thank you for sharing your talent, knowledge and experience with the rest of us.
It was great to meet you also Jaime! I am so excited about your new 126!
Thanks so much for sharing.
you;re welcome Clint
Awesome story and good to see someone work hard to build their career.
thank you Mark!
Thanks for sharing your story. I admire you for all your hard work and perseverance. I'm looking forward to reading your autobiography some day. Folks have much to learn from your experiences. Keep up the great work.
thank you Mark....hope all is well!
Again great story, I'm looking foward to part 3 and 4. Being a college graduate myself (BS in information systems security) I still work as a tow truck driver. I feel I'm too old now ( And not as smart as these new kids graduating. Lol) to get into the IT field. I am very happy doing what I do for living. Do what you love and are passionate about and never work a day in your life. Is a great quote that I'll never forget. Also life long learning is never ending it doesnt hurt to learn something new each day. Even I have to look up info on a particular vehicles im towing so I dont cause any unnecessary damages. Take care, be safe, and God Bless, look foward to your next video. : )
DJ, driving a tow truck is an adventure in itself ...maybe write a book one day
@@mercedesclassicswithpierre1753 Hahahaha! That's not a bad idea, I've seen a LOT towing for the Marines, Army, and civilian towing. I do have quite a few stories to share. Lol
Nice Story .. appreciate the insight..
thank you thomas!
This guy is such a legend
thank you but not really lol
Cool Story ; Waiting for the following Chapters
thank you Joe!
The connection between a psychology background and things mechanical is not unprecedented. As evidence I would submit: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig, and Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford. Both excellent reads, and an interesting connection between the mechanical and contemplative aspects of vehicle service.
So by straddling both worlds, I think you are on the right track.

i READ cRAWFORD'S BOOK..IT IS WONDERFUL...THANK YOU
It’s hard getting started in life. It’s part luck, part who you know and part what you add to it like learning a skill. My eldest son who’s 28 just got a ‘real job’ after six years working pushing carts at Walmart. He says it very hard to find decent work.
29 years ago my husband’s aunt got him a job working for Pizza Hut in the now closed corporate office in MD. He just got terminated in October. 200 + applications later he has a very good job at Ecolab doing extermination with help from someone he knew. Now he’s the Terminator- Blue collar- so he works less and makes about the same money. Haha go figure.
people don;t give"blue collar" jobs enough credit
Mercedes Classic with Pierre Hedary agreed! 👍🏻
A Psychology degree mixed with mechanical smarts.......knowing people and things mixed with healthy youth!! Heh man your there ! ! You have a great productive future ahead of you. Thanks for the insight. Ive got to get my W115 down to you !! - Lee
thank you!!
The newest member of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" for sure!
the title is meant to be sarcastic but thank you
And my response is intended as a very high compliment! I think all your viewers would agree!
I would rather refer to Pierre as a true "Renaissance Man"!
My mechanic of 30 years has a masters degree in psyche but could never give up his passion for classic cars, hence, his shop - Urban Classics - in Brooklyn - a full service shop for all cars. In his early days he serviced my W116 when I could not.
Pierre, per chance did you read Persig's - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? Tedious at times but interesting.
I did Gary, it is tedious but a great book...i read it in high school.
I dont know why but twice I have had to subscribe. When I watch a video I have noticed I was no longer subscribed. Strange.
Which books did you read, to help you become a better Mercedes mechanic?
I made a video about it ...you'll see
I can relate to the acting like you know more than you do...😕😀
haha I think we all do...
Are you still in the central Florida area?
Great vid, can you tell me on a 85 126 300sd. The blue flying saucer. The 2 bottom vacuum ports does the bottom middle port go to the injection pump? Thanks in advance.

Pierre, I too have always kind of faked it till I made it so to speak I'm starting to really like Mercedes I had w126 sedan the thing was an excellent condition and I traded it for a trashed out 944 don't ask me why the Mercedes was flawless I was an idiot I had a chance to buy another one recently, so I the one i own now now this one has very little rust on the front fenders but less miles then the original one i had, to had anyway my question to you is I have a chance to possibly get a 1973 450SL with a rebuilt motor from my understanding the motor was rebuilt by a guy who really knew what he was doing is this a smart move I'm considering trading my Boxster S for it my boxter S is a 2002 90,000 miles Florida car. am I making a smart move ,please tell me and if you could if you could tell me your opinion of what you think that car is worth it has a brand new rebuilt motor thanks i engoy your video ☺
No doubt the psych classes help deal with some customers!
