He sold cars to Michael Jordan! | VLOG

In March we had a visit from Gene, who was previously a distributor for Lorinser, Zender, and D&W. Based out of Chicago, Gene sold cars to the likes of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, and other athletes of the era. We may or may not have purchased 64 wheels from Gene all in brand new condition, arriving in a few weeks 😎 A few days later we got a package of three cars including a red w124 wagon with an AMG kit, a w201 SGS Cabriolet conversion, and an MAE w123 widebody.

From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!

this is a big level 💪🙌cool cool and cool again

[@MrGmo415]

Is the forest green SEC have about 35k miles (55-60kilos)? There was the exact same color amg kit car owned by the owner of DHL shipping and he once illegally imported using his cargo plane to bring to SFO and kept it on his ranch for 30 years

[@gregdesena7362]

That 124 wagon…🔥🔥🔥

[@mickeymichaels1298]

Vico read my mind. I'm local and will be going to the museum but I really don't want to have to wait till it opens to see these amazing cars. I'm hoping he'll show them before opening the museum, as he said here. On another note, the C123 will go down as one of Mercedes' greatest design masterpieces.

The 190e cabrio is not an sgs but a Schulz.

[@garciamario5436]

Sick Stunning Art on Wheels love them all

Старые мерседесы попавшие в рай по другому не скажешь)👍🏼

[@wonnozline4094]

The red TE is the coolest thing I've seen in a long while....

[@555sgs]

The 190 convertible was not made by SGS but it was marketed by Erich Schulz from Korschenbroich, Germany. The cars were converted for Mr. Schulz in a body shop called Calley cars in the Netherlands… There was a business relationship between Schulz and SGS…

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!
