[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

YES!!!!!!!!! Mk3 Supra for the win! I need it for my collection. I’ll come and get it.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Don’t tease me with the Supra and than walk over to the SAAB. stop playing with my emotions

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Heck ya brother a 1uzfe with a HTV 2300 supercharger. It is a lunatic. If you end up getting it, we need to do that 1uz swapped in that.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

You are right it is a targa. They are pretty straightforward to switch over to the R154 5 speed manual transmission

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Lol it’s OK. You don’t have to say it’s a bad engine, I’ll say it for you. If you upgrade the head gasket torque down to the right specs and do some oil mods the 7MGTE pretty good engines.

[@mexicanspec]

Oklahoma isn't THAT far from you, right?

[@christopherhamilton5557]

Randy, save the Supra. C’mon, you saved the Swamp Vette!!!

[@GrandmaKeith]

That Supra would be a cool restore.

[@2DogsVlogs]

Would cost a fortune though. First thing to go is the ugly rear bar they stuck on it. I'd go back to factory.

[@williamlightford8436]

Pp❤❤❤

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

@@2DogsVlogs you can get one of those put together, and it not cost of fortune.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

I agree @grandmaKeith

[@ayo9057]

If this thing were brought back to life and running well, what would it sell for? Feels like a future valuable classic.

[@briantayler1230]

You could buy and park that Mercedes outside Mike's house to see what his neighbours think. That is what a real friend would do.

[@tmdillon1969]

I graduated from HS in 87. That Supra was a pretty sweet ride back then. If it was a manual I'd say it'd be a fun "labor of love" project. You'd never get your money back out of it but what a trip down memory lane.

[@timeforchange3786]

They were absolutely cool 😎 I really wanted one back then. Too bad it is in such bad condition.

[@rushnerd]

Still are cool. Mines an auto and I've still worked on it a ton and poured the money in. It's still an amazing car.

[@anthony25562]

i love how many of these you post a day

[@maverickflint1991]

That was a nice Mercedes and that Toyota.👍

[@EvanBlueVids]

My first car was an 04 Saab 93 convertible. Loved that car!

[@locotrucker46]

That old Mercedes is so cool and so unique you need to buy that Randy especially after it started right up

[@markkrispin6944]

I used to have a 1990 Toyota Supra. God I sure do miss that car.

[@timeforchange3786]

Wow! I really wanted one back the. So cool. What color was yours?

[@markkrispin6944]

It was gray in color. V6, 200 horsepower. Automatic transmission. I bought it off my dad so it was in MINT condition!@@timeforchange3786

[@seanmiller598]

That Black Merc would really piss the neighborhood off. Buy it man.

[@gregoryemms2592]

There's a button under steering column that needs to be pressed when you turn the key to start the supra. But you want the 7m gte engine. Turbo.

[@JB91710]

You might want to do a video on; How to buy a hail damage car and fix the dents. How you need to fix and register a totaled car. How to buy a car through Copart. Basically, how to take any type/ category of car you buy and get it back on the road.

[@mnichols31]

That Mercedes looks like it belongs in a Mad Max movie, that would be a crazy car to play with on the channel

[@maverickflint1991]

Pass on the SAAB. The Toyota still looks good interior needs some cleanup and may run.. If it runs,drives and A/C works worth buying.👍

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

I agree

[@Randomeris1]

That diesel Merc with new injectors would still outrun any new Merc easily. Case in point the pos sitting next to it

[@Crispychicken4u]

I love the line “ the interior is cosmetically challenged “

[@investit4]

I have one of those Mercedes diesels W123's (since 2005) , they are indistructable , just watch out for major rust inner wheelarches.

[@Adam-rn9xz]

I had that exact same SAAB! Same color and everything… My license plate read “MY SNAAB”. Too bad it was a piece of crap.

[@bk_goatkim679]

Very interesting Supra! Keep yo the good work! You’re fkung great randy!

[@jrod.z337]

Dope Supra my grandpa has one

[@finndog67]

I miss your SSR.. Its a awesome car. A real life hot wheel car come to life!!!!

[@lunamaria1048]

My dad had a convertible Saab when I was a kid! He kept it for a very long time. It seemed like a spaceship, from my perspective lol. It was gloss black and such a beauty and looked like something Darth Vader would drive in the summer! It was gorgeous and he absolutely loved it. My sister and I just decided to find the same year and model and restore it to her former glory, as a gift for him. He lost the original to a garbage truck that lost control and totaled it while it was parked.

[@joshmallery2620]

I currently have a 2006 Saab 9-3 turbo and I absolutely love the car highly recommend it to anyone who is looking at 1

[@LSniumUwU]

Beautiful red interior Supra, silver paint, would clean up well for sure. THAT MERCEDES IS EPIC ITS LIKE A DURAMAX SEDAN LOL

[@shaunbailey9272]

😍I'm here all day for that 1987 Toyota supra

[@ltlocus]

26:45 that hail damage isn't bad. I saw a civic yesterday that looked like a golf ball

[@SH-di8im]

Thanks for the video Randy I think it’s hilarious but you have more debates and more arguments with yourself than I have ever seen anybody I think it makes the videos very interesting I guess technically you’re not arguing with yourself you’re talking to the camera, but you do that a lot better than I ever could 😂

[@danielkern1110]

Hey Randy, I just wanna let you know that I watched this morning’s video of the copper or ground. It’s pretty neat of all the cars that you showed this morning. I can’t wait to see the next video tonight if you got another one coming out later on. I’ll be looking forward to it if you do and I hope you have a great wonderful rest of the day today and I’ll be looking for your next video either today or tomorrow. I guess I’ll talk to you later buddy have a good day.

[@timeforchange3786]

Awesome job! Awesome cars. I even liked the 1940s car. I could see Mike liking the Mercedes behind the Toyota.

[@danwiegelman3443]

I could see you driving that Mercedes diesel I think you should get it.

[@brentgilmore3281]

That year Supra really has me wanting the 85-87 Maxima!

[@michaelporter3555]

The 7MGE was the naturally aspirated engine and the 7MGTE was the turbo. I had a 1990 non turbo Surpa and a 1992 turbo. I enjoyed the cars but they both tended to have quite a few minor problems and I got rid of both well under 100,000 miles. I know a couple of people who had them with much higher miles and they had head gasket failures. The 2JZ engines in the generation after that is the engine you want they can pump out a ton of power without failing.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

The 2GR-FKS replaced the 2JZ. Although the 2GR is a V6, I have heard of good power ratings from that motor as well. Its a guy here in Atlanta has a 2014 IS350. He added twin turbos and a tune. I think he is getting like 750 hp at the wheels.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

All the 7MGTE needs is an oil mod, stopper head gasket, and ARP studs torque down to 82 foot pounds. Then it can put out 500hp on the long block, but that is expensive. I will stand by the 1uzfe swap with the non-turbo LSD 4:30 rear diff, and a rebuilt five speed R154

[@rushnerd]

Yeah, they all need a new headgasket and ARP headbolts. The milage shouldn't really be an issue. Mine is still fantastic at 117K and I plan to use it for a long time.

[@SH-di8im]

Randy, I am not a Mercedes guy but that pipe coming out of the hood makes it that much better that I would actually buy it. You know you need that in your life.😂😂

[@keithstevens6093]

Randy that benz a straight up burnout machine

[@thomasharris5151]

@18:41 it’s not two oil dipsticks… it’s an oil dipstick and a transmission dipstick probably

[@wernerdanler2742]

I think you could fix up that c63 and make some good money on it. It's a beautiful car. I had a 300d back in the early 2000s. It had 280k miles on it when I traded it and it was immaculate inside and out. I did all the maintenance myself and replaced the wear parts like on the suspension. These things will go a million miles easy.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

I had a blue targa top with a manual.loved that car

[@benlee6500]

The Toyota Supra is a good buy, avoid the Saab & the S-class Benz...lots of times needed to put them back to life.. Randy thanks for sharing this 🙏 🎉😂

[@robertgildea2841]

I am watching from Elmira NY I am surprised that you never found an old hearse at the Copart auto auction

[@ManuelFernandez90baby]

I think with all these fumes you are facing, time to get that COVID-19 N95 mask... Probably have a box stored somewhere in the house lol! Wouldn't want you catching something 😊 Watching from Africa, Malawi.

[@portermcsorley]

Definitely save the Supra. I saved mine from going to a junkyard and have zero regrets. Manual swaps are super easy too. The auto isn’t even that bad in them. They used that same automatic transmission until like 2007.

[@rushnerd]

It's a good solid ass auto. It would be great to have a manual, but that's what I got (they are cheaper obviously as is NA so that's what I'm stuck with) I really don't mind that much. Picked up an auto GT-S Celica last year and that's another that begs for a manual, but it's the first time I've had a car with a "manual mode" and it's mandatory with the Celica, it's extremely temperamental with revs and what gear you are in. If you actually just drive it in regular D, it's almost unusable. With my 88' it goes freakin' GOES.

[@GrandmaKeith]

Come on Randy, Buy that Supra and bring it back to life.

[@npvj5687]

Luv the Supra, Saab before the take over. I always like the Nissan 100nx with the 2 removable tops

[@tomtheraton3058]

Very nice cars , the supra is so cool

[@leftlanegaming530]

Get the merc! Love the hood exit exhaust, cant get much worse probably

[@fluffy1346]

Good morning Randy from @Auto Action Rebuild 🤝🙏

[@garyjacques5982]

Dope man

[@mikesharp8653]

I've seen it all now! Strange day at the office for Randy, I loved it. I hope you buy that weird diesel, It be good content to make that look good and drive.

[@maverickflint1991]

That Toyota and the SAAB are really nice cars as long as they run, drive and AC works

[@rushnerd]

AC ain't working in that Supra until you convert it lol. I think it cost me $900 for that damn job. The air blower is super strong though.

[@charliekretschmar2058]

Randy that is like a really cool husper for dirt track

[@entropyfan5714]

The supra would be a good content generator.

[@richieosborne7477]

Yep like the song says.. G.D. The pusher man! Lol 😂 😂✌️

[@theogk4777]

the old bezn is so nice you should get it randy

[@hxlize4913]

that supra was someones baby it has everything

[@volvofreak86]

I think it would be cool to see that old W123 with the tractor flap on it drive around haha

[@timjohnson9230]

Randy I think you brought worse then that Supra home. I wouldn't think that thing would go for much could it? I say if you can get it cheap take a chance on it. It'll make for interesting content for sure. This had to be the most interesting walk around I've watched yet. I love the weird stuff.

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Lol #swampvette

[@valeg8316]

Yea and remember he brought the burnt out hell air

[@geraldsmith9540]

Randy sir, if you watch Faye Hadley, then you know besides Lunar Outlaws Garage, she is an Supra fanatic. You should let her work on it and do a video with her . She’s in Texas. I think she would appreciate it just as much if not more the Lunar Outlaws. Both are great channels. Flip a coin!!! 😁👍🏻

[@BadBrad23]

I couldn't stop laughing when you were checking out the mercedes. I laughed even harder when it started right up. hehe. You have to get that one... I could see Monkeywrench Mike driving it around in Tulsa....

[@portermcsorley]

I’m guessing the Supra either needs a battery or more likely a starter relay wired in. The signal from the ignition becomes too weak with age to activate the solenoid on the starter. You wire in a relay that sends 12 volts straight from the battery to the starter solenoid with the original trigger wire as the relay signal. The actual high amperage cable does not change.

[@yntenseinfo]

Supra is a sure success, views included

[@bengo76]

The second dip stick is for the Transmission oil

[@RoadHeros610]

Buy it Randy ..buy it

[@Rjisawake]

I love Saabs as well.. :) they so cool looking

[@96g20t]

This gen was known for head gasket issues. I believe they recommended back when to retorque the head bolts. My friend had one that did overheat and blow the head gasket. Otherwise, it's a nice car.

[@mikaelhartmann5111]

Buy that Supra!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@robergali5702]

Hi Randy hey that diesel Benz!!!

[@SirLikkAlot]

Those Cars were way ahead of their time, you can buy cars today that don't have those features Just an absolute joy to drive I had a 1987 and 1991 turbo Targa, that major issues were the seals in those engines they would leaked and oil got into the coolant systems causing those engines to over heat

[@christianbattestin9747]

The foxtail on the Chevy, as per 1950s rules, meant that the owner was a drag racer.

[@kurtispasby8395]

I've had 6 of these supras. Currently I have one that's very nice and have alot of money in. Turbo 5 speed low miles. I've paid to have 8 headgasket jobs done over the years and won't do it again. I do alot of work on mine myself and it still is gonna cost me 8k to get it any faster even after having a built motor 7m put in.

[@kurtispasby8395]

I can tell you already that the headgasket is very likely blown.

[@rushnerd]

That's insane. I always worry about it. My 88' was a garage queen and the last owner changed out the headgaket and valve stems. I think at 80-90K miles. She's at 117K now. Zero issues, probably needs a CPS rebuild, but I just hope I can just use her for many years to come and not have to worry about it. I bought it at 115K miles and obviously I don't drive that much.

[@miivato]

you can drive your vehicle into the lot? when i asked at my local copart they said it wasn't allowed. does it vary by location?

[@samlung2724]

Maybe he has special dealer pass or something lol

[@perryelyod4870]

He's basically advertising for Copart with these videos, so of course he's allowed to do things all of us would be denied. There should be a 'special advertising feature' in the title.

[@mikedavis5207]

Love the supra and the clapped out benz

[@richieosborne7477]

That Mercedes has weight reduction ready to race! Lol 😂 ROLLIN COAL👍

[@jason7078]

GET THE SUPRA!!🔥

[@user-uj7pr1ff9p]

Sweet! ❤

[@californiafox3974]

That generation Saab 9-3 is a great looking car

[@mateoollerbidez8347]

16:33 there's next year's power tour car man

[@lshobird]

save the supra randy! Love that car!

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Randy. I remember back in the 90's I Owned a Red Toyota Supra Turbo. It was a 1989. And it was proper fast. A beautiful car. Shame about the one your looking at lol. I actually like the Saab. That Merc looks crazy lol. Stay away. The C43 looks so sexy. Big money Randy. Anyway thanks for the great video again and Chat laters bro 😅😅

[@davidhellmann4940]

Love that "Mad Max merser"

[@reneostos4825]

7mge is non turbo and 7mgte is turbo .regardless they are going up in price because they are becoming rare to find and drifter kids love them to .

[@johnny_mahaladay_01_]

I Loved when you said Nos! I sprayed Nos in my Civic EF 1988 DX shell But it had a Acura Integra LS VTEC poor man's Type R lol after market custom built it was Red I need your help building cars my mom and dad had want be a badass guy Factory AC on the EF wished you find 1988-2000 and those easy to manual swap a joke two guys can getter done.

[@davewhittles]

that old merc is crazy

[@ryanbrightman3292]

That old Mercedes and the supra I would buy in a heartbeat

[@paulmckinney6163]

What to do with the Mercedes? Chase video with your police car. Dress MWM up like Super Mario 😂

[@daun7710]

Nice. I had that supra in the early 00's that I drove in college. It was maroon with a stick. No targa top though. I regret selling it. I blew the engine once while doing donuts in a parking lot, replaced the engine. Then I lost 3rd gear and tried to replace the tranny myself and didn't do it right. The car would shake at 80 mph so I traded it in.

[@rushnerd]

Absolutely insane to see one of these at an auction. Even junked, they are worth a lot to an MK3 owner because of the sheer cost and rarity of all the parts. You could easily make a profit on this just parting out. This also is 100% identical to my 88' Supra, but thankfully she is in extremely good shape still and runs and drives exceptionally well. Was never a huge car guy before her, she's just the coolest damn thing on the road and it's a head turner.

[@skunkworks9-3]

The Saabs had style but never got the love they deserved. ARC is a mid model so it has some of the nicer bits but is still poverty spec in some areas. They're not for everyone but once you've driven one you realize they were some of the better built smaller cars for the time. Compare them to a similar Malibu, accord etc and they were right on par except safer.

[@bpearr8266]

I completely agree, I just sold my 06 aero combi and it was my favorite car despite owning Lexus and acuras. This gen tends to hold up pretty well usually, but when comparing ride quality to the competition it lacks for sure. The 07 and up feel a lot better with more sound insulation and better build quality. I’ll definitely always have a soft spot for them, and that 9-3 definitely won’t be the last Saab I’ll own

[@lorddylanwolford3192]

I’d roll that Mercedes daily I wouldn’t care about the hood stack or the weirdly mounted air filter I’d daily it because it’s cool

[@michellehavik2023]

buy the W123! I LOVE IT! HAHAHA genius car! love the diesel sound also even the hot pipe out the hood with flap! frankenbenz LOVE IT!

[@Luser1980]

Hey Randy ... watching your videos for a long time .. I was just wondering , did you ever consider buying one of those cars and just restorit to a factory glory? Maybe even make it better ? I know its a lot of work and most likely you dont have that time but that supra stand out on this parking lot! Realy shame that it end up there .... ! good videos.....

[@peterkwok9608]

The Toyota Supra looks promising 😎😎👍👍

[@vdub4201]

you should definitely get the old benz.. and put a 12v in it lol!

[@jameshurst8006]

I agree with you about toyota excellent cars but i just cant seem to find one i would bother to buy

[@christ1stcars2nd66]

You got to get the supra and the old diesel Mercedes. That would be some good content

[@raymondvillafana8248]

Call that old Benz...'Frankenbenz'....😆

[@manuelforgetta5535]

OMG I LOVE THAT DIESEL MERCEDES🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@doloresgonzalez6988]

You look good in th e Bentley Randy. 👍😊

[@jmhcrypto]

I would love to see the flapper Mercedes on the channel just for fun you and Mike can just have fun !
