MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SEL 6.3 START UP & AIR SUSPENSION LIFT

[@Geordo1960]

Such a beautiful car. I don't know if anyone else would agree with me but this I think is the ultimate Mercedes.

[@vamos529]

the ultimate seemed to be the 600 model, but this 300 was the beginning of the AMG. I aggree

[@memyself2124]

I really hope people wouldn't agree, so i can stil find one of these.

[@juano402]

air suspension technology, back in the 60's was a huge piece of engineering, it's considered a luxury feature even for today standards!

[@owentimo]

the 6.3 was so underrated. You could roast the tires for 100 ft in a burnout. The polished intake manifolds were one of a kind! Yours are filthy... Shine them! Beautiful car though!!!

[@MrCROBosanceros]

Most beautiful four door car ever made! Pure class.Excellent visibility.Nothing on this car is built just for show. You are lucky with a such a wide parking spot.Where I live,in Vancouver Canada,we have one of the most expensive real estate in the North America.Despite that,they leave you parking spot,you can barely park "Smart" car.

[@jeroenschuuring6060]

Excellent visibility..... Not so much in this one 😂😉

[@ronaldderooij1774]

One of the CEO's of the company my father worked had onle like this, in bright green metallic, if I remember correctly. It drove better than a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, which another CEO owned. And I as a young kid, could enjoy all those goodies sometimes.

[@Sanpedranoazul]

+Ronald de Rooij Lucky you Ronald! :D

[@dankwartdenkhardt5714]

"It drove better than a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, " It didn´t only drove but it also looked better than any RR at that time. When I was a young boy i physically falled in love with that cars.

[@Khalid_Bin_Waleed]

To the car wash baby!

[@edwardbigelow5358]

Got one of these for sale in MA. No title, but thats easy to get. Great shape too. Powerful vehicle.

[@k31owner]

Even as old as the car is, and I've seen similar in much worse shape, you still get that classic Mercedes door closing, just a light thud in stead of the typical bang you get on other cars.

[@kend5939]

Love to have this one - hard on a car to let it sit that long, and then hit the gas hard enough to bark the tires, though. This car deserves to be driven - and can be driven hard, but not 'occasionally'. Also - if going to let it sit long periods, best to either drain that tank completely or keep it full. Looks like some corrosion on the fuel sending unit (or a bad ground) causing the fuel gauge to bounce like that...Still - beautiful car and would look great in my garage. :) Trade you a '91 350SDL with 115K miles on it.... in great shape. :)

[@luisemartinez2402]

Este es mi carro preferido

[@nilsberger4987]

If the car goes down while sleeping the system is not ok and has got a leak.

[@bosley629]

Beautiful EU spec 6.3 😍

[@MrBeboopman]

This is like a sneaky little chocolate sweet :)...I love this video. Beautiful,beautiful Benz.

[@LluljanN]

beautiful car thanks God you saved it :) one more w108 still out there this is real car

[@laurensj89]

This is amazing, when this car came out, it was faster than most of the porsches and ferraris that left the factory at the same time.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Judging by the ride height, it was sitting fir a while. Just a instant classic the 6.x's

[@hpaulo12]

Hi. I have a '72 model 280se W108 with exactly the same colour exterior and interior as this car, this is the first time i have seen another Merc with the same combination, but please please clean this car up and give her a cover.....she deserves much better!

[@ozoniroz]

Здесь всё же другой класс и к тому же L .

[@milwaukeegregg]

Don't laugh but this car is a rocket!!!

[@laurensj89]

So fricking awesome!

[@galonakify]

So ein schönes Auto

[@pokkailo]

May the force be with you.

[@Haffschlappe]

dont forget the two stroke oil added to the fuel! Modern fuels destroy the old EFI and engine materials so it is needed in old bikes, cars and trucks --just add the protective 2 Stroke oil to the fuel. (1%)

[@evanbarr9270]

Thats some usefull information ,thanks

[@m1ro1000]

unique car

[@SANDSCORCHER]

Wonderful car :-) It's a shame about all the dust and that horrid noise in the background. I had no idea that these had air suspension. Was it standard equipment on this model? :-)

[@Foscora]

The air suspension is stock on this car, although there's a leak, this kind of Benz lowers like that in ~ 24 hours.

[@thomasrose6962]

weak compressor or good size leak.. beast of a motor gas pedal feels funny in all the 6.3's....heavy heavy car weight wise but still......that one DOES look extra clean though needs tank sender replaced arent those engines dry sumped?

[@Mercmad]

Runs sweet , it has heated rear screen (white knob) fader(speaker knob) and emergency flashers (red knob) but what is the green knob? fanfare horns? .I have 6.3 #1675 .

[@DeMobBoss]

A very clean engine bay indeed. Its a shame about the caked dust on the paintwork and where you park it... Great cars the W109s

[@MrRedcelica]

shes a beauty makes me sad because we got rid of our 87 w126 300sel now only own 2x 190e's

[@closer71]

Exactly why I kept mine! I knew I'd regret it because I sold both of my 1984/85 W123 300D turbo diesels and my black `88 300SE but I kept my midnight blue `88 300SE. Wrapped in a timeless body-style, the W126 is by far the best all-around luxury car ever built.

[@peteralexander1155]

In the year of publishing this video my guess this car has been sold between 5 en 8000 euro. For this kind of money you would by now a plain W108 (280SE -280SEL) and this would be a Restoration object to.

[@Johans60]

Don't forget to tighten the battery connection, nice car

[@videoshares]

Great car, needs a good clean up. Suspension took hundred years to perk up

[@Interestedsomewhat]

WOW, long wait to air up, don't use this for a getaway car. How is the ride?

[@everythingcar]

no seriously why have you got it lowered it looks pretty gangster like this

[@angry-white-men]

If I were to buy a car this old, realistically how long would it last me provided I do the typical oil changes etc...

[@superhep44]

how long has this beauty slept?

[@kinetic1259]

I hope you're driving to the carwash. Redline at 5500 until 6000, then you're ok until 7,000 👍

[@rudolfschenker]

Great job making a sound video in a garage with roaring equipment noise.

[@leonidbreschenyev9749]

best car,6.3

[@teamsleepnine]

the parts price for this car is absurdly expensive.that's the price for an icon i guess.

[@larisharis6796]

Nice car baaaaaaaaaad cameraman

[@everythingcar]

why is it so low, has the air suspension gone?

[@miguelamaya6246]

Is it for sale ?

[@DaytonCarCare]

Actually looks good lowered.

[@TomoyukiWatanabe]

it is Wastful!!! Nice The 300SEL6.3!!!

[@Luther1543]

needs a good cleaning inside out

[@galonakify]

Hi i want to buy their cars built and price pleas from germany

[@klasjohansson6734]

Is it for sale.. like to buy one of this.. Or if someone know for sale.. Thanks in advance..

[@juliantjy8]

Is this for sale

[@lvl60fred]

it looks like that car isn't used much, to bad cus i would ☺

[@tommywagner2575]

Which country is this?

[@paulkirkland1535]

Tommy Wagner; somewhere in Toronto Canada. The location looks familiar I'm just not sure exactly where in Toronto this is.

[@qmpel]

@everythingcar I think there were lot of people in trunk...

[@abidmalik3345]

Rear. Very rear car. Not any in the Uk.

[@DutchManticore]

+Abid Malik Yes there is. Jeremy Clarkson owns one

[@missionDan]

Abid Malik i was looking at one yesterday at IN autos. its having full restoration. they made about 40 rhd 6.3's so rare but they are out there in collections

[@aaChulizo]

un buen video, pero que no sirve para nada con todo ese ruido exterior que tiene, para eso mejor no grabar nada.

[@johnbower5732]

Why would you let the car sit like that and get that nasty......

[@jburtd1]

Apparently can’t operate a camera or start a car with the right key. Geez. Beautiful car, lousy video
