What an Amazing documentary of a true n passionate restoration from Shant and his Amazing crew! I'm Very looking forward to having My 93 'Cobra refinished at CMS Motorsports n Restoration! Whoo Hoo!
I can still remember the wild tunning times here in Germany. In 1982 I saw the König Specials at the Essen Motor Show. I could only afford the König Special catalog for 20DM, where all the brilliant cars were listed. It was a great time with all the crazy tuning companies like Gemballa, dp Motorsport Brabus and so on. There were countless small tuning companies for the small purse, it was the golden age of car custom here in Germany.
Yes, have to agree a great find and looks mint! Some information of engine and suspension mods and a veiw of whole car inside, bonnet, boot, etc would be great. Is it show as well as go? I have very good original spec 82, which has been my pleasure for 33 plus years and still drives beautifully. As in Australia no rust and last 25 years only week end drives. Hope you can oblige with more info. Thanks.
I can't believe what these cars are worth now they are so unaffordable my mom is handing down her 95 rio red cobra to me its been in the family since 96 its stock and mint it's not a 93 but im still happy to have it you guys did a very nice job and like always God bless 👏 🙌 😊
That's why you should never sell it.. because you weren't of looking for the car that car found you, and now a beast of a machine with a special history and a story to tell and a man have become one. The way you tell the story gave me goosebumps. Its such a special car and I don't think anyone with care for it better than you. They will park it and it will be in an abandoned warehouse somewhere and no one will ever see it or even know a car like this existed. I was a BMW guy my whole life.. my parents got me a e46 2000 328i Sport when I was 18. The 328i was only made for 1 year and in 2001-2006 it became the 330i. I order the car from BMW and I believe the sticker price was around the 44k mark. As my parent wouldn't've let me get the Laguna Seca Blue e46 M3 6 speed I wanted.. I did the next best thing and got rid of the stock BBS 16s and got custom made M3 wheels staggered with 2" lip in front and 3" lip in back.. everyone thought I had 4 rear M3 tires installed until they looked closely. As a got older I got into Mazda and Rotary engines.. took ,e 6 years to find a white with red interior 40k miles 5speed N/A 1986 RX7... drove the car for 20k miles for the past 12 years and all I ever did was change the gas tank, brake lines etc. but the car runs flawlessly with 60k miles right now. 2 years ago I was working on Long Island NY, painting an old ladies house and I seen a 2001 740IL sitting in her garage and I asked her about it. She said that someone scratched her bumper one day about 2 years after she order the car brand new and decided to never drive it again. I asked her if the she had even started the car in years and she said she didn't remember when exactly she last started the car. I asked her if she would sell it and she told me to make her an offer and I paid her 18k cash because I told her that many problems might pop up on a car that hasn't moved in almost 2 decades, and really I was taking a risk. Did the same thing I did to the RX7, dropped tank, changed all fluids and I only drive the car on special Sundays, black on black, it had 16k miles now has closer to 18k miles but it was my dream car, and I feel like the car found me, I still haven't even fixed the little scratch on the front bumper because it barely noticeable. The RX7 took me 6 years to find, and the BMW found me, that's why when I die, bury me in my 740il.
As me being a local, thanks for your visit to Monterey. My favorite model is your W126 S-Class sedan I formerly had a 1987 420 SEL and 1989 300SE. I couldn't attend this year, but I hope to attend next year. Thank you for the video. My Best, M.L.
What an excellent video (and editing skills) showcasing the pre-merger Mercedes. Seeing a lineup in white is epic. Sharing the passion is so appreciated from around the globe Of course i am biased owning 3 x Gen2 Euro AMG W126's (2 x SEC's & 1 x 560SEL) based down in Aust
great video and thanks for sharing! This event is so fun and can also be done on the cheap or ball out! It is great for families too I have found now I have a son. See you next year for SURE!
