Honestly these old 90’s Mercedes will last longer than any new car. Would take this any day over new junk

Hey Bob, I have the same R129, the problem you are having with your passenger seat may be with the child safety switch that you can see at 14:09 in your video. Move the switch in the other position, and then try your seat belt. Ken.

Great video! The 129 is really nice but the supporting crew and cast stole the show on this one!

Looks good. I live in Buffalo and traveled to Youngstown in September to see an 81 380SL, but ended up getting a 97 SL320 in Poughkeepsie in October with only 55k miles on it. Ditto about the brittle plastics.

Absolutely beautiful car! My dream car was the 450/560SL models and I have come to really like these newer models. You are going to enjoy that one! Cheers and Thumbs Up!

It's hearing people say they paid $4k for an SL that almost makes me wish I lived in the States. Nothing like that here (Soviet Kanuckistan).

The issue with the seat belt.There is a relay under each seat which go bad.

I think a Lexus LS400 or LS430 would have been a better way to go. German cars just kill you on parts.

Ya man 100%. If a nice LS 400 or 430 pops up I’m going to grab one

Hey, sold it a while back. Do you still have yours?
@longhorn845911 ай бұрын
I do, I don't think I can ever sell it. I still one day want to do a full tear down just like you but currently not the focus. I've tried to convince my wife I need another project but the reality is I don't have the time. Think you'll ever have another jeep project or tackle another engine swap?@@BobWilson84

BINGO! "this is NOT a car that anybody should buy if you have a mechanic do it for you" They are an absolute $ pit if you do! Not bad if you can do your own work.

hey bob do you have an instagram im thinking about buying one at 18 and tbh i don’t know much about how to fix a car but i’ll definitely learn to fix it on my own and it will be my first car. I just want opinions and advice on it.
@BobWilson844 ай бұрын
My man, this would be a terrible first car!! Find something fun and simple with tons of cheap parts available, like a Miata. A R129 is way too complex for someone just getting started.
