[jlemieux06]

Nice job. Now is the time to enjoy it!

[MrMorbugs]

Oh God -why cant i find something so total great like this - i dont even have luck with the lottery...

[lion6322]

Oh my God, it has a CB!

[MichaelWalter1000]

The 190 was a nice car, but the performance didn't even come close to the 300SL.

[cosmiccastaway2001]

What an awesome find. Merc just doesn't make them like that anymore!

[yourtubeafried]

Its like watching an old Merc do a Christine.......

[TRAMBUSTO88]

[milootje007]

stunning stunning car

[cockyhemi]

Great vid! Awesome clean up job!! Some people wouldn't have the determination to at least do that. I appreciate someone who takes time out to pay attention to detail and have respect for a machine of the past. Great work.

[tommiller356surf]

she had it apprasied and I paid her full asking price. Funny, she said it was totally original, never hit, found out after I cleaned off all the dirt and dust that it had a fair amount of hidden body damge and filler. Seems they forget stuff like that...Must have been quite an accident, and not remember it? hmmm. I paid the full price based on her story, which in the end was not true.

[jeatco]

@tommiller356surf I know how that feels. Are you selling that? or the silver one?

[mesmerizeme]

did you pay a fair price to the old 90 year old woman? or did you take advantage? what did you pay and what's it worth?

[tommiller356surf]

thank you for the compliment!!  just bought another one in silver!

[CFMD28]

Good for you! What a beautiful car!

[MrSmithyboy1990]

Love stuff like this , top work

[VhUgGz]

The 190 SL was a cheaper alternative to the 300SL, which cost as much as a house. Still cool, though. If you found a 300SL, it's like winning the lottery. ;-)

[oceantrolls73]

amazing. thank you for posting.  a real gem indeed.

[guydongbaby]

i would love to buy that car off you, what would you see it for?

[legrandzim]

[wreaksrevenge]

Nice work - you lucky man!

[tommiller356surf]

@wreaksrevenge Yes, I fell lucky every day thankyou!

[baileybanter]

Amazing! I watched the video of Andy Williams and Deniece Van Outen singing "Can't Take My Eyes Of You". Denicece is driving a Mercedes 190 SL, like Grace Kelly's. I loved the car and Googled it and found you! Our family has a long history of being car lovers and this one is spectacular! What a find...indeed! Enjoy!

[tommiller356surf]

@baileybanter Thansks it was a really fun project!

[Minus42Zero]

WOW that car just came back to bright shiny life!

[tommiller356surf]

@Minus42Zero Thanks, a bit of elbow grease goes a long way!

[santo1959]

Well done, that is a great job. I sinecrely hope that you are proud of not only the car but yourself too, I would be.

[iceshark1]

Fantastic, I can only hope I will one day find something like this to restore myself. I hope she gave you much enjoyment.

[tommiller356surf]

yes, and it was fun too!

[oomvg]

Nice to see how you bring this beauty to live again!

[tommiller356surf]

some work, and some don't, You heave to try a liitle of everything, Tom

[7477238]

Great find. I'm not sure about Groit's Garage products though. I ordered the leather conditioner but it doesn't really smell good out of the bottle so I'm wondering if I should even apply it.

[tommiller356surf]

Well, thank you!

[Flyin2hawain]

Congratulations, what an amazing piece of history!

[tommiller356surf]

well, 20 years ago, no car phones (practical)

[RinkeBolster]

that must have been the easiest "restoration" after a 17 year sleep ever. gorgeous car, great color scheme, but what was that 91 y/o doing with the CB radio?

[tommiller356surf]

can't say.

[A10tankkiller93]

how much did you pay for it?

[tommiller356surf]

true... glad you liked the video

[pumkinvine]

Nice find, these cars have lots of curb appeal, but are VERY under powered. Still fun to drive though.

[Kbrusky15]

looks almost like a Karmann Ghia from the side. :) sorry for comparing that to a Karmann Ghia being from a totally different class. Beautiful car!

[BeetleBerlin]

Beautiful job and wonderful car

[179077]

nice to see a car restored to its former glory.would be nice to send the old lady some photos if shes still alive -remind her of her carefree days.

[azthundercloud]

cant stop drooling.

[tommiller356surf]

about 98,000, if you are interested in purchasing one, go to my website an contact me, I can get others, as this is sold to a collector in Europe.

[moyadapne]

What a wee beauty. How many miles? How much you paid for it is irrelevant if you intend to keep it. More civilized and useable than a 300, and surely less tail-happy. Were the seats still soft under the covers? That car would be worth about $75K in New Zealand.

[tommiller356surf]

@moyadapne

[walshy2089]

not as good as the gullwing but still awesome story

[SurfinBird1975]

now that's a car!

[tommiller356surf]

in line 4

[RStarga]

Gorgeous car...the color is a little funky, but still sweet.

Seems to be a lot of Gullwing design after thoughts in this car.

Is it an inline 4 or 6?

[kikodiaz123]

Wow what an amazing car !

[therealhannoverfisk]

Lucky you.

[BennyPansen]

Great Video.

Nice Job, Congratulations

[bslbeachbum]

Sweet!

[Kilen81]

Shes beatiful... Take good care of her

[tommiller356surf]

lucky the yanks kept the european car companies in business after the war!!

[DominicSantiago123]

european cars are too good for a yank to own one

[Darklordkime]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo you bastard you lucky bastard

[BeetleBerlin]

Congrats on getting it back on the road.

[BMan100]

Lucky son of a..*CENSORED* .... MAN thats nice..

[keravankauhu]

[jet62095]

What a beauty!

[starconduky]

[MercsDude]

[rusty974]
