Live love love this car. Reminds me if my mother. She has this make and model and color except hers was convertible. It was her first car. Talk about a lucky girl.
Granddad had one in split~pea green, searchlight on passenger side and a pull rope on the back of front seat to assist rear seat passengers when getting out of car. Remember it fondly from my 1950s childhood.
your soooo blessed my friend ,,,ive had some ,,back in 1985 .....sold to much regret ,,,i love ALL THE OLD CARS ..CHEVYS FORDS DODGES ,,WHATEVER ...got a 55 ford fairlane now ,,,,...but yours are in prime shape ,,,mine is in great shape but needs just a little here and there ,,,a great driver ....keep me posted brother ,,,,ive liked and subscribed to your channel ,,,,always have a great interest in the revival of some thing that has stood the test of time
Growing up my brother drove this beauty in white and baby blue. He’s 10 years older than I and I thought he was the coolest teenager ever! Thanks for the memories 🥰
Favorite tri 5s is 55 and 57. Nomads and 2 doors. In my late 60s...rebuilding my life and hope to add these to my 91 Z71 and 95 6cyl Silverado. Like seeing these classics on the road!
Beautiful car, gotta love green. You need to fix that trunk lid, it's killing your look. My '70 Charger had paint chipping away from the same spot on the lower right corner...if the trunk lid fitment isn't correct, it'll damage the paint and let moisture in, and rust will form.
I did not inspect the original engine. The owner told me it was blown, and estimate to rebuild was significantly more than the cost of a full swap. Car has also been off the road for over 20 years. Major damage to the wiring due to rodents, so full custom wiring job and new custom ac system as well.
I'm doing a 2003 SL500. I'm gutting everything except the Mercedes radiator and fans, header tank, gas tank, HVAC system, and power door functions. I'm swapping chassis and engine harnesses and those will be wired into the new harness. I'm eliminating the ABC pump system and adding a vacuum diaphragm for the brakes. Coil overs and AMG brakes. I'm doing a true SuperLight and I'm trying to remove 800-1000 lbs. The roof is going to be carbon fiber and one piece, in a fixed position. I've already fixed the quarter windows into a permanent up position by removing the motor assemblies and making aluminum brackets that bolt up where the motors did. I'm doing a GT3 style widebody with all carbon fiber panels except for the doors. I'm hoping to meet the weight reduction without it but may concede in the end. Fixed back carbon fiber seats and removal of the mechanical rollbar, pumps, reservoirs, lines, fluid etc. takes out a lot of weight by itself. The R230 is a great chassis, it was just an over weight/over complex car from the factory. It's surprising there aren't more LS swapped Mercedes, but there seems to be a lot in the Philippines and Thailand. They are dirt cheap there compared to other brands. CB Media covers a lot of meets there and modified/swapped Mercedes are regulars at many shows.
@old car revival Hi i have a 1948 plymouth special deluxe 3 on the tree Wanted to do a tanny service can you please advise on correct fluid or if you have a video to share would appreciate it thanks 🙏 Great break video learned alot
@OldCarRevival Thank you for this video & all your hard work teaching whoever watches your video tutorial... I have a 50' Plymouth deluxe with the same breaks as you... I understand & know now to use that break adjustment tool... I got to get one...
I had a 65 with a 273. Mine was maroon and I bought off my brother. Also had a 67 225 three on the tree. Ahh memories. Thanks. Good video. Happy Motoring.
Nice. I had a 63 slant six that I bought for fifty bucks. It needed a battery. We had a field car that had a battery in it that we had to jump start and I was low on bucks so I grabbed it. Figured I could charge it by driving it around. That night my buddies were ragging on me to do a burn out. The only way I could do that was a neutral start and I stalled it. Battery wouldn't start it. I told them to push me and they said you can't start an automatic by pushing it. You can this one if you can get me up to 25 mph. Sure enough we got it started. Good video. Happy Motoring.
Mine has been off the road for 15 years. I just got tags for it last week, just need the screws for the front bumper. It's a work in progress. Yes it is a violation. Funny story, I was pulled over for no front plate on this car 18 years ago. That was the last time went to jail, but that's another story.
