Copart Walk Around Portland Oregon + $12K Shelby Cobra 427

[@alirezar2069]

For that old diesel, you gotta pull the knob halfway and wait for the heater in the salt shaker! to warm up and then pull the knob completely.

[@davidgreenwood8880]

Rent a U-Haul trailer and bring the Mercedes home.

[@Rav_4_Guy]

It’s nice how they brought them up for you I’m liking the 1973 Mercedes. Definitely a clean old girl

[@mexicanspec]

I had that exact Mercedes 220D. Mine was a 1973 model, stick shift and it was dark blue. The best thing about the car is if you are on the highway and somebody is tail gating you, you floor it and fill up the highway with smoke. They always back off. I drove mine from Las Vegas to LA all the time. The car was over 20 years old and still performed perfectly.

[@hgn98009]

I had a neighbor who had a Cobra replica. Several times during summertime I'd look up for the clouds since I heard thunder and lightning but the sky was blue. Then I'd realize, Cobra is started up. One time he went to a car gathering and apparently removed the mufflers before going home. I heard him coming home at 2 a.m. from 25 miles away. It was beautiful.

[@sonnyblazer5504]

YOU really went all out on this one, RANDY! I believe you put in a ton of 'extra work' to bring COPART to us from out there. You didn't have to do that. Breathing all that crap when just a few months ago, 'YOU' PROBABLY had Covid BEFORE it even had that name. Your behind the scenes efforts do not go unnoticed. Just get Nick buckled in and head for your home safely with the rest of your crew and you and again, big thanks! Sonny (CT)

[@J_Twist_nader_alley_gigs]

The reason I pay for a membership is what you go through for us viewers. I know that was a health hazard out there. I couldn't do it. Kudos to you man

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I appreciate you man! You help keep it going!!

[@J_Twist_nader_alley_gigs]

@@AutoAuctionRebuilds hey it's not a problem. You do things that makes me think "what the hell is he doing?" Hahaha. I love it.

[@kathleenfling84]

Welcome to Oregon this is where I live sorry it's so smokey and thank you for your kind words of support for all the first responders risking there lives trying to keep everyone safe . Great video 👍

[@j3816]

Saw the notification and clicked immediately, keep up the quality content man!

[@bvona9006]

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, when starting the Mercedes, pull the starting lever only half way to preignite. When the wire is glowing, pull lever all the way out. Wire is behind the little instrument on the right of the lever and can be seen.

[@montyholland3357]

That old Mercedes diesel is amazing 👌 to bad you couldn't get it

[@Stefan7020]

That old Mercedes is awesome, there are not many left of them....

[@silasmcgee3647]

@@Stefan7020 that Mercedes is the kind that you buy at 16 years of age in the 70s and then to this day you’re still driving it and it’s nowhere near dead yet

[@orlandoespinoza4010]

I live a hour away from Portland and could tell you the people here like Classics and always see old cars running proud to be Oregonian 👍

[@santahansen395]

That old vw transporter gave me old memories from when a was a small kid in the 90's

[@RegalCobra097]

Same, my dad had one as well. 1986 base model with the 75hp diesel.

[@45AMT]

Thanks for taking the time on your vacation to make this video. Really cool to see some older cars up on Oregon!

[@randomness3465]

Such a cool car selection in Portland! Any time you travel, vacation Copart walkarounds sound like a fun video.

[@josem3]

Randy, This is one of you best videos with the Shelby Cobra on it. 🦾😈👌

[@henrysalami7593]

Thx spending time on 427

[@robertjack1580]

Man that Datsun was amazing. Ran smooth no issues. Wow. Great video randy!

[@pengu4932]

That Datsun REALLY deserves to be saved and taken care of

[@TaylorDurda]

I bought it. And it’s my plan

[@pengu4932]

@@TaylorDurda Forreal bro? That is sick! I would love to see the progress for it. Do you have plans for it, may I ask how much you picked it up for?

[@TaylorDurda]

Jordan $625 was the buy it now. $978 out the door. I love it runs super good. Only thing that is wrong with it is the gauges and the radio doesn’t work. I’m torn in between restoring it and keeping it stock or restoring it and lowering it and putting on some nice wheels.

[@pengu4932]

@@TaylorDurda Whatever u do man thats sick for an OG Datsun that runs great. Good luck, ima follow ur insta to follow the project hah

[@arizonasirensandscrap9851]

By next year, Randy is just going to have Toyota sienna's all over his lot.

[@josephrosales6380]

True that's Randy

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

Great content and great cars. They may be old, but will run forever. Glad you can branch out and see cars in different areas.

[@chandlersworld4776]

So cool to see my local Copart get a walk around

[@arneengebretsen7967]

Hey, Randy. It is a very well equipped VW BUS, with Electric windows, tachometer, air conditioning, power steering, electric mirror, +++. They are highly sought after here in Europe.

[@RegalCobra097]

IIRC this Mercedes is called the "Strich 8" in Germany and is a sought after classic. These Mercedes Diesel engines are basically indestructable, they last forever with basic maintenance.

[@darylnicklen3685]

Thanks for doing the walk around at a different Copart out there in Oregon nice selection of cars. Safe travels Bro.

[@richardkafka5625]

That Mercedes is awesome! Would have loved to see it on the channel! Mercedes over the Porsche hands down. For the mileage that VW is in great shape. Datsun in good shape as well. It was really nice that they let you do this, especially with everything going on out there. Awesome walk around Randy!

[@redtorino]

The W115 220D has 60 horsepower, goes from 0-60 MPH in 28 seconds, and tops out at 84 MPH. A W115 diesel is one of my "bucket list" cars.

[@zacharyjones1492]

Always nice to see a different/area location. Cars less common in one area are rampant in another lol

[@infovideos7355]

Good to have you back Randy

[@walk2live402]

I would love to be driving through town in that Cobra... Very Cool. A car to go on my Bucket list, Thank you again for great Video.

[@UncleRico371]

@AutoAuctionRebuilds literally every vehicle randy looks at during these videos I always find myself yelling get it randy! Get it!!! 🤣😂🤣 like it’s my money

[@shawnparker7415]

You're gonna need a bigger trailer.

[@AKw211]

Mercedes would be the ultimate daily. Car will run for ever. We have w123 240d 1983 with 559000km b-tex seats will last for everrrr.! Great video and prayers to all near those fires. Greetings from Finland!!!!

[@justanoldman9762]

Randy, the Merc any day I'm in the UK and had one back in the early years and put it in top gear run it at 60MPH all day built to last Engine was what we called a thumper no high revs but torque it had and pull anything ,AND do what David has said.

[@ripjeffhanneman5838]

Awesome "Oregon edition" Copart workaround! Safe travels back to OKC Randy! Don't forget to snatch up the Benz!

[@officialyordan1332]

Loving all the content posted lately 💯

[@williamcanter9381]

I love the VW bus that thing is wicked pretty cool looking

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Is a special 'Wolfsburg Edition' which are also quite rare today in Germany & Austria to be found in such good maintained & clean condition.. So, that particular example could worth some cool amount of euros among the experts of VW tuning fan club, no doubt.. ;0)

[@undertakerfire7810]

Jet flys by, “listen to her run man” Lol I think it wants to be a jet...

[@Tillbilly]

man that cobra would be a great edition to the channel

[@mexicanspec]

Believe it or not, the Auto Check report says the 1982 Datsun 720 is a one owner truck. I would love to see it after a Maaco paint job in the same color.

[@meganthompson8289]

This was such an epic copart walk around!

[@pounch21]

Nice video Randy. Keep up the good work and strides in making better video quality and content.

[@adamtoman5855]

Will definitely have to watch this after I get home from work. Have a safe journey

[@tobiaswehner6836]

Between the Porsche and the Mercedes I would take the Mercedes. What a gorgeous car. And it's a diesel. It's perfect. The interior looks nearly mint. What a gorgeous car. And thanks randy for your awesome videos. I love them man. Stay how you are. Your loyal fans will stay with you. Greetings from Germany.

[@benvan-ness1030]

The AC cobra is stunning

[@rossfield8850]

The Mercedes is beautiful but I'm kinda digging the Volkswagen too, retro ride. Enjoyed the vid thanks Randy

[@cvv911]

The Benz is indestructable, you should totally get this.

[@nathanielgould5284]

What a great video , the cars were in very good condition, be safe👍❤️🚘

[@deancarter990]

Randy, bring that gorgeous Mercedes home. That would be awesome

[@jamesdonohue9747]

Hey Randy .Smoke is slowly clearing here .All nice cars .

[@mexicanspec]

That Shelby Cobra was sold in Naples Florida with 64 miles on it and it ends up all the way on the other side of the country crashed in Oregon with 120 miles on it. That car had a short life.

[@sixfigureswithtee]

Yo Randy, thanks for the Amazing Golden Oldy car review on this episode. Real time capsules!!!! Safe drive home...

[@lindanelson8400]

Really cool and different variety of vehicles. Mike would be in Heaven if he had that Mercedes. The old Datsun would be great all fixed up, and the VW van is pretty cool too.

[@allprops1]

nice, great video that Volkswagen and that datsun is like gold

[@rich5223]

That old Merc is awesome

[@NoahClay6]

Love the Portland Lot Randy. Also Diesel Benz all day versus the Carrera. That diesel will run for so long and they are kind of cool. Also wouldn't mind seeing that Vanagon either.

[@mikeschmalz5312]

Cool cars Randy, that Mercedes was nice!

[@keelaihassan]

So this was the perfect piece we saw earlier in Instagram. I am into the video now😁

[@TaylorDurda]

I bought that Datsun. Jumped it and drove it 30 miles home with no issues

[@mexicanspec]

Now it has had 2 owners.

[@AliVapeReviews]

i bought the porsche and trans and engine no good had to get it towed to beaverton but good news have someone that wants to buy it as it for 1k more then i paid for it

[@phillipmoen9367]

Camper shell makes the truck complete. Not many of those trucks around anymore they're getting harder and harder to find that's a real gym

[@davidthomas9]

That smoke haze & fallout is exactly what happened here in Australia back in January, not good. And now we're in stage 4 lockdown & curfew here in Melbourne. Stay safe....

Oh man that old Benz diesel and the Datsun ♥️

Welcome to Portland!

[@maxrichardjeanbaptiste4488]

It is a Nissan datson. Such a great car. I remember back in the day ,when my dad used to ride them 🐎🐎🐎 #Memoryland

[@samlive1855]

The motor in the Cobra doesn't look like a real Ford 427. It looks like a Ford small block that may have been bored and stroked to 427 cubic inches. A real 427 has a different valve cover bolt pattern, the intake manifold extends under the valve covers, and the distributor goes through the front of the intake (the one in the video has the distributor in front of but not through the intake). Still a very cool car.

[@drewbenefield2001]

Get that Mercedes Diesel!!! Awesome content!!! 🤘🤘

[@mennoboon8037]

Nice that you went somewhere else for a change👍

[@volvofreak86]

I was literaly pointing at the start lever on the mercedes haha, we had that on our old fin model and that is really unique, that is also how you start the glowplugs on it if you hold it close to the starting position

[@ithwitt]

Them old Shelbys are so clean

[@davidciabattonijr8170]

It's ashamed it's not a shelby..I take that back..It's great that it's not a shelby.

[@johnsample9671]

I live in Vancouver Washington

[@timraber6575]

Enjoyed the walk around. I wish you could have played the horn on the Datusan truck. Add one of those to the Plymouth. Please.........

[@jamesclark5461]

Toyota Sienna OK. Thanks for showing us upfront what the destruction and how the smoke just takes over everything. Really liked your 1973 MB C220, has the look of a German taxicab....quality build. I would add that one to the stable. Could it make it back to OK?

[@SILVERBACK69]

Randy did you happen to catch the maker of the Cobra? I see alot of kits and I believe they are not that expensive. They are super cool.

[@CanChikMay]

Vanagon is awesome! So is that lil truck

Love the old siennas

Volkswagen van is a great find

[@Gordo101978]

Weird beards daughter will love this little truck I bet

[@alynurani8]

I’d get the van and the merc. The Datsun is cool too

[@silasmcgee3647]

Those old 70s Mercedes along with the 80s ones and all made previously before the 70s were bulletproof mechanically speaking minimal maintenance is all those diesels ask for and they will run forever

[@terrygraham4555]

I used to have one of those horns on my 76 caddy and loved it. Terry Graham

[@randallsmith7124]

That Cobra is not a "kit car" , per se... Backdraft's are sold as fully assembled rolling chassis' You (or the dealer) just drop in the engine & transmission of your choice. Suspension is all BMW E36, so handles great & parts/upgrades are easy. The Backdraft chassis is about 2" longer and wider than an "original" Cobra, so the cockpit is roomier... more comfortable on a long drive. The shields on the sidepipes should help with burning your calves, but everyone typically gets "snakebit" at least once.

[@Stefan7020]

I would choose the Mercedes in a heartbeat These VW Bus/Vans, can be very expensive, when in good shape

[@davidgalinat4257]

I really like that Vanagon.

[@jerryarnold51]

Get the Datsun Truck I had an 1984 one Same Color Great Channel Connent

[@goccer95]

The 911 you can jump it inside the car below the steering wheel where the fuses are at....

[@davidl2438]

Outstanding video. Great cars. Please consider buying the Mercedes, Datsun, and/or Cobra. Frankly, I really like the old Mercedes and possibly the Datsun pickup. You will love that old Mercedes. Please consider renting a trailer and bring the Mercedes back to Oklahoma.

[@jonathanjoseph7678]

Wow that cobra is a cool car including the black Toyota Sienna
