haha... You mean, like the one sitting around in the video? :) Yeah... I have that one. :) Since this vid we put a running engine in it, and have romped it alot, if you search my vids for willys, you'll see alot of vids of the beast :) its pretty incredible, the machine. :)
i don't put fake stuff in the tags like some people do to get views... though sometimes i'll throw in "lobster" or something completely random just for fun.
Why the fuck are you telling me to shut the fuck up? you're the asshole who watched this video, and then left a fucking negative comment. and then adding dumbass to the end of your comments. what an ass.
This is a great fun thing to do with a car. and a mercedes is an incredible awesome car. so of course we're going to do this with mercedes if we get the opertunity. This builds respect. when we experience how well the car can do all these things. the respect level is a million times higher from when it was in the field, compared to when i had it on the road.
why, you ask. well, i'll tell you WHY. THE DAMN CAR NEEDED A NEW STEERING RACK. PLUS OTHER PARTS. WHAT BETTER TO DO THAN "play" WITH IT. HUH, HUH? WOULD YOU RATHER SEE IT IN A BARN WITH BIRD POOP ALL OVER IT AND RACOONS AND OTHER CREATURES EATING THE INTERIOR AND LIVING IN THE CAR??? HUH, HUH?? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT. IF SO, GO BUY AN 80/81 MERCEDES-BENZ 300D AND PUT IT IN A BARN. OBSERVE THE REACTION. THAT IS "WHY".
yeah, i'm more into the early 80's and older mercedes bodys.
the reason i had to get rid of the mercedes, is because i had to clean up the field, and get my 20 something cars down to just a few, and the mercedes steering rack was shot. the wheels would go in their own directions, and you couldn't really steer the beast.... its really sad. could have just got a rack from a junk yard. but thats how it went. alot of cool shit went. but i would highly recomend one of these 5 cylinder diesels.
hahah, yeah, its an incredible car. unfortunatly i already had to get rid of it. its been gone for a while now. but i want to get another one. maybe a station wagon!
Since i had this mercedes, i've had my 86 VW Diesel Jetta. and it had 52 HP brand new. so in retrospect the mercedes did have alot of power. but back when i had it on the road, i didn't notice that. i know on back roads, trying to go really fast around corners and stuff, it didn't have enough power to push the back end like you needed, so it made it a little unsafe for that. I wish that thing had shifted right.
Thats crazy to think about. being that this thing didn't even cool at all, and would just keep working at crazy high RPM's while overheating, with us beating the shit out of it all the time! the engine never changed. and it didn't have a cooling system for well over a year. still ran the same when i scrapped it.
yeah, it didn't care at all about not having coolant. putting water in it would have just made alot of steam that would block our vision. It really didn't get that hot! the temp gauge was pinned, but it wasn't like a gas engine. it really just only got so hot. and if it wanted to cool down at all, it would stall if you let off the gas too quick, and would crank to slow, that it wouldn't start till it cooled down, and cranked fast again!
heh heh, well, when it was on the road, we went into a farmers field, and were driving through this creek crossing he had, then we romped over this fallen tree twice, and the second time, it destroyed the radiator, and broke the exaust manifold. i tried to put a postal jeep radiator in it, i took the grill off for it to fit. it never worked though. but that car DIDN"T need a radiator at all! if it stalled and wouldn't start, we'd just let it cool down. then it WOULD start! lol,
I have the same car (non-turbo) and it loves the off road. I'll have to do video some day. Excellent chassis for this kind of thing. Its a heavy duty car. If you watch the other videos you'll see the crash tests show what an advanced and wonderful chassis it is. I would rather get in an accident in my car than in a 2000 pontiac montana (check that crash test on youtube).
I love this video. It's on my favorites. My Benz is much newer, but I would love to own one like this. With all the biodiesel frenzy and high gas prices, these cars are getting very pricey nowadays. If the holocaust came tomorrow, only these cars and cochroaches would survive, nothing else is tough enough.. Visualize giant mutant cockroaches
driving around in W123 Mercedes diesels like this, and you've got the picture.
i don't like seeing w123s being run like this, BUT it was cool at the end when you had the cam on the ground and you edited it all together the last like 10-15 seconds
sorry if it bothered you, but it was at the end of its career. yeah, the end was a pretty lucky thing to think of. worked out awesome. showed how vicious the car was!
lol, yeah, it was a very slow car, but still extremely fun. after the exaust broke, it did kinda sound gasoline, very vicious for gas though. i think at idle it might have still sounded diesel
Thats what it all about. keeping things safe for the tree's and stickerbushes and such, you never know when their going to pull right out, but this let's them know to be cautious.
lmao lol!, vluuuurrgghh! ruuoooom! gluurrgurglurguh! , thats cool thew wipers were a nice touch lol, i love the horns on em i beep at ppl in my beat up w123 240D lol
that thing did sound awesome, engine and horn combined. its fun beeping at people, then never quite know what to do... is the 240D fast or slow? or inbetween? the 300D was slow. but that was awesome too
Yeah, the sound is perfect man! I used to work on car commercials and our main precision driver was Bobby Unser, Jr. After we wrapped filming for the day he'd drive a bunch of us in a rented Lincoln Towncar back to the hotel. Totally scary driving and fun! As he put on the emergeny brake and did a few 360s he'd say "Hey, it just a rental car!" Ha!
trying to have fun man, the most possible, and just flooring shit on its own isn't as much fun as what you call "blipping" the throttle. we arn't doing it for any reason other then fun. not for power or anything like that. i don't know man, we like doing that and will keep doing it with ANY 4 Stroke car/truck/tractor/pushmower/engine we can get our fucking hands on.
yeah, we were driving through this creek, then we romped over a afterwards, and it broke the radiator and craked the exaust manifold off where it connects to the exaust. thats what ended its road career with me. but its field career has been way more exciting anyway! do you have one of these things?
yes there are some noticeable differences when you travel back in time... with these videos the grill i took off because at one point i wanted there to be a radiator, its still there, but not in use, and the headlights were for the 83 toyota. so it could road it up
the nissan still runs and moves, the only problem is the front tire fell off, because i put the three lug nuts on way to loose for the intense manner of driving, so all the studs are fucked up. but we are working on it!
thats a alot of cars with a low power, unkillable engine. i thought naturaly aspirated meant carburated. like the air coming in sucked the gas out of the jets, but this thing has lines comeing from what i thought was the injector pump, to the cylinders.
Naturaly aspirated means the engine runs off of atmospheric preasure. ie: No turbo/supercharging to "force" more air into the combustion chambers.
However, Mercedes Benz put apprx. 105,000 turbocharged OM617A 5-cylinder diesels in vehicles between 1980 & 1985. These 300D's are identified by "turbodiesel" emblems on the right corner of the trunklid.
i'm not sure if its a common engine. the car was 600 bucks, and is really good in the field. Extremly fun. and the corolla, will rock. They have an incredible amount of suspension travel, drove onto a over one foot high tree stump once. tires didn't even spin, the bumper seriously bashed though. we put snow in the oil, and the thing never died, the starter went though. romped for hours, never used any gas. great in the snow. The mercedes proboly is worth money. but its too fun. Thanks!
Neet to put a stack and a snorkel on it and take it through a creek.
