I was like... Filippo looks different today.

He seems to know about cars 😂

[@WeAreCurated]

Thanks for dropping in Zack to review our car! Excited for the auction

[@siraryx]

We need Zack more often.

I agree. He's NOT annoying. Similar2John, he didn't come off snobby.

[@thebarofsoapIG]

Zack on Cars and Bids is the best.

[@truthserum5310]

I grew up in Miami, and am still here locally. I remember seeing so many of these on the road in the mid to late 80's here. Every "business man" if you catch my drift, owned one of these. They still look as good as the day I saw the first one.

[@siraryx]

I owned a W124 300E from '86 with a I6 engine. It was previously used as a taxi when I bought it, with almost 400.000 km (250.000 miles) on the odometer. It was still both super comfortable and quick, with a nice roar to it's engine. Mercedes engineers in the 80's truly were masterminds.

[@gregcarterfineart]

Damn. What a brute, these were real good. Good to see you here too, Zack!

[@templarnato]

IMO some of the best wheels ever made

[@jaioncebollero1168]

Peak merc. Just look at it, it couldn’t look better

[@XtopherCB]

thank christ, zack is back. now do it more often. bring back alanis too.

[@jbro507]

Alanis is rocking her own KZbin channel now.

Where ever this Zack pops up, I like what he does.

[@punjabeeplaya]

I'm glad zacks sarcasm and social commentary carries over wherever he goes.

Zack as a regular on here and on the podcast would be fantastic.

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

That studio is so quiet I can heat every bit of dead space. Woh. Great video Zack

[@Czechbound]

Remember when Wheeler Dealers added a genuine AMG bodykit to one, and upgraded the 500 engine with AMG heads and cams and sold it fully serviced for $31,000 in California

[@krh007]

Yeah they sold it Bob who was in on the deal before the clip was produced. Bob supplied the bodykit & springs, wheels etc that he had been collecting for some yrs. The donar car was also lined up as well before filming started. Bob got his project completed for him. He wrecks W126 cars for parts as a side business

[@Czechbound]

@@krh007 I wonder what the AMG clone would be worth today

[@KeshenMac]

13:56 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dennis Reynolds energy

[@MIAthe305]

Just got the car that makes 15 year old me beyond happy, a 1984 500SEC. Haven’t enjoyed driving this much since I was 16 and got my license. A 6.0 is the holy grail for me. Maybe one day. But for now, I’m loving my old school Benz

[@Epik-hm8ws]

The Zackman!!! Great! 560 SEC looks awesome

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Matt Farah and Zack being the same age, is a fact that causes a short circuit between my eyes and my brain...

[@mitchellsteindler]

Remember when everyone hated Zack on TST reviews? Im sure he does...im glad things have changed.

[@zackklapman3569]

Thankfully I have a really bad memory.

[@fredocuomo5386]

i never understood it..sure, he wasnt matt..and it took him some time to find his groove..but now, when given time and budget, he is capable of making magic..for me it goes: 1. cammisa 2. catchpole 3. klapman 4. throttle house 5. farah

[@mrpeacock321]

Timeless design 👌

[@Jordunk23]

Jon would be proud of this vid

[@Summer0fLove1967]

Zack is such a great host, technical but chill finesse.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

I have two 560SEC just like this one, one silver and one black... ...at my shelf. 🗿

One of the coolest Merc. The wipers action is the coolest of all!

[@racerboy2212]

I had a 1991 560SEC that was a phenomenal car! This one will bring some great money no doubt!

Very similar to the (slightly shorter) 5spd 550 SL AMG that I drove a few times in E.Tenn approx 20yrs ago. These are awesome, and very stately. Pulls like a TRAIN

Came to see the car. Stayed to see watch the G-Shock Manga watch.

The HAMMER

[@mercedes_nuts]

"Hammer" is the term used for W124/C124/S124 E-Class 6.0 AMGs. This is the SEC-Class AMG, it's not a 124 Hammer.

[@mrpeacock321]

MB should redesign 500sec and 560sec very advanced in its day With today technology would be phenomenal 🙌

[@krh007]

I have a mate who has done exatly that - fully rebuilt his 87 black 560 coupe www.youtube.com/@BrentoBenz Everything was upgraded Engine, trans, diff, driveline, brakes, suspension, steering, interior etc etc. The M113 5.4ltre supercharged Engine is producing aprox 700hp

Near perfection. Just missing the boxed fenders.

[@hilium6730]

[@mercedes_nuts]

​@@axe2grind244For literal millenia the Italians (and other Mediterraneans) have been considered racially different from the Anglo/Germanic Northern Europeans, i.e. the whites. It is only in recent times that "whites" is used to cover all Europeans, even though not all Europeans are white.

[@Bob_Smith19]

Multi level racism in that statement.

SO HAPPY to see Zack doing another C+B video! Hilarious and well presented, this is excellent content! I figured these were done with after a few months ago when we stopped getting the Alanis/Zack/Kennan "new host" content, but am so fucking thrilled to see Zack back.

6.0L 500 SEC ? Was the engine swaped ? To my knowledge only the 560 SEC has the 5.953 displacement.

[@ericquinn8578]

AMG engine. Probably bored and/or stroked.

[@nightmoodandy9146]

@ericquinn8578 AMG has made 2 official engines for the 500 SEC and none of them is 6.0L. I'm curious to get an explanation strictly for documentation purposes.

[@krh007]

The 500 & 560 are the exact same block. Needs to bored out to 100mm bores. A 6ltre requires the 560 stroker crank/560 rods (500 rods too long) & custom 100mm pistons. 560 heads needed as bigger intake valves than gen1 500 heads & 560 heads have bigger intake bowl & flow better. Heads need to be worked as AMG did. AMG solid lifter cams or 560 300hp factory Euro cams (which AMG switched to when they became available from MB off thr shelf) The AMG 4 valve 3 piece sand cast heads were complex & had lots of issues + parts for them were NLA. Many cases of 4 valve head owners switching the engine back to 2 valve heads when workshops could not repair them.

[@MultiPinasco]

According to the diagram this 2v 6.0 has 331Ps

[@mostly_ghostly9889]

ZAC!

[@Rom3_29]

American import Mercedes is surprisingly different from European Mercedes. Most of the drivetrain is not interchangeable. Engine is different even though models on paper they’re same models. Gray market Mercedes were pain to fix. Now it’s lot easier thanks to internet. But ordering parts took long time and it was expensive to ship specific tuneup kits or brake parts from Germany. Front bumper on European one is smaller very weak ornament. While American Benzes could be used to push other cars. My dad worked on fixing Mercedes all his working life. Either you love them or hate hate fixing them. My dad hated, because Mercedes had to do everything its own way. Even though other part makes would cheaper. That makes fixing Benzes expensive if you’re not DIY Mercedes owner.

[@longbeachcarguy]

Great to c more of Zack! Love those s class coupes. Personal favorite is the now discontinued 2018-2021 S63/65 AMG coupe. Beautiful beasts

[@brendendas]

Legendary crossover!

[@gregoryfranks7347]

Zach come on bro hammers are not just the 4v m117 in 5-6.0l it can only be a w124. the e class that is all a hammer can be. I know that be you can ask the man who built them and will tell you hammers were only w124 with there dohc heads on whatever displacement. that is fact. the m117 beaten with a hammer still isn't a hammer unless its in a 300e,300ce or hodgie's s124 the wagon. only e class!!!!! hammer gets thrown around so much but it can only be the combo of those two things w124-m117 with the custom dohc heads. no disrespect but I blast everybody especially people who should know-like you. your still the best partner Matt could have.cheers

# HAMMER TIME ref: an '86 E-Class Sedan fitted with an S-class engine, so technically the Legend began with the classic SMALL car fitted a BIG engine recipe, not a BIG Coupe with a BIG engine. this was also the recipe used for the original "Red Pig", that circa 1970 300 SEL Sedan fitted with a 6.3L V8 bored out to 6.8L. Deutschland's whole "claim to fame" (so their raison d'etre and gift to the Automotive world) was and still is the "Performance Sedan". also ref: Audi's S8 in Ronin circa 1998, BMW's G80 M3, etc.
