This guy in the video is doing what he loves, and he doesn’t let the mental voice of “I’m too old for this” stop him. Because we as humans often underestimate ourselves based on statistical claims.

@Weljash Just a hunch. Most people who "need the money" don’t garage a collectible car like this; leaving it untouched for 37 years. Also remember, he bought a Mercedes to commute back and forth to the city 42 years ago. If he had Mercedes money back then, I am guessing that he is pretty well off now.

[@markhawks9125]

I loved watching this, I have a red 65 230 SL I am restoring, it is a real rust bucket but they are such cool cars. Mine has both the hardtop and the soft top. It was my brothers and he passed away about 37 years ago. The car ran for about 10 years after that but the transmission broke and it has been sitting mostly outside in florida with my Dad until he passed away a few years ago and I got it. Lots of memories. I wish I could have restored it for my Dad before he passed. This guys reaction was so awesome!

[@trumpdump20]

Amazing. We've got a 69 280sl like this but in blue. Not so much restoring but just slowly making it more like it was when it was new. You really can't beat the feeling of cruising with the roof down listening to the burble of the straight six. Good luck with your project!

LOL I think I'm turning into the same kind of guy. I'm 34 and recently saw a picture from when I was 20 (shirt is older than that) wearing a shirt I wore a couple months ago. I try to keep my stuff in good condition and don't really by anything unless I need it or really want it for a long time. I make good money now but when I was growing up it was scarce and as I kid I found out if I waited a few weeks before buying something (just in case something I wanted more came along) I didn't even care about it much after a while. So now I only buy stuff if it's still on my mind after a couple months. I think the low amount and inconsistency of my allowance (it was uncommon for my parents to have to "barrow" it back) made me realize nothing is guaranteed. Fortunately I haven't had to ask my parent for a cent since I made 20 cause I was so used to buying nothing but necessities and always have been happy just to have my bill paid and a place to leave comfortably. I'm just now starting to realize I'm not poor anymore and I can start buying some stuff. Either way it never effected my happiness.

As a detailer myself I love the aspects of detailing, enhancing, and protecting very high end cars, it’s part of my daily routine 9 times out of 10 every day at the shop. HOWEVER, although disaster detail cars suck and give you that feeling of dread when you see them roll in and open the door for the first time, there’s nothing like transforming them into something that anyone would be proud to drive. Details like this are the most satisfying ones of all no doubt because every once in a while it’s good to prove your worth as a detailer in full and it’s jobs like this that remind you why you got into detailing in the first place all those years ago. What a transformation and the customer reaction was absolutely priceless!!!

What a beauty! Those old Mercedes cars were absolute masterpieces!

[@Gcf109]

@MDS True, heartbreaking but true.

[@iregretnothing2045]

@MDS Exactly! You could always guess the differences between an old Mercedes and an old toyota! Although I am not saying they are crap right now because I think they still pack some luxury but it's sure is deteriorating.( even the new "X-class" by Mercedes is a rebadged Nissan Navara!)

I love video's like these. I wish you could show the whole restoration process but I understand that your part is only this step in the restoration process. Thank you for the video nonetheless.

To see the look on the his face....Utterly priceless! What a great job AMMO NYC!...

[@fishsquishguy1833]

This is by far my favorite video on this channel. Transformation was phenomenal and the expressions on his Dad’s face were priceless. I wished I lived closer to have you detail my Mach 1. The quality and care of your work is second to none!

[@DK640OBrianYT]

The moment Dad showed up brought tears to my eyes. Oh, the value of love and teamwork is unbeatable. Liked and subscribed. Cheers from Denmark, Scandinavia.

[@alexflips393]

His dad is still working at 83 years of age? The level of detail you guys go into is amazing and tiring at the same time. Great video

[@jocoquedechile]

I used to have a 1976 450 SEL. It wasn't in perfect condition but it ran smoothly and still looked good. I always wanted to save some money and restore it and make it look like new, but tough economy times presented and had to sell it. I felt happy for those guys while watching the video, something I wish I could have done for my dad. I currently drive a 1997 Jeep wrangler, which was my first car.

[@JeffRogers99]

Yes because all we were meant to do in life is work and die

[@techyrock]

so you better keep it someday your kid might restore it for ya

I loved the Dad's reaction, the old Mercedes deserved a good cleaning and restoration, I hope to see it when it's done! Nice Job Boys!

His reaction was beautiful. As someone who is attached to an old car and planning on restoring it “someday” I can totally appreciate this.

I’m speculating. Dad probably owns the company and is basically there as overseer watching place. Most of the daily operations are handled by younger workers.

He probably can because he was turned off and on again
