My Dad was in the Air Force and bought a brand new '68 280S in Belgium while stationed in Germany. He brought it back to the states and it was the family car growing up and he was crazy proud of it, not having grown up with much himself. When he passed a few years ago my Mom gave the car to me. It had been parked, probably because of the dual carbs acting up again, and hasn't be driven in years. This video makes me want to do an engine swap and lightly hot rod it...a boy can dream...

[@jrew3569]

Great video Magnus, always awesome seeing you in a Mercedes-Benz and even better when you describe the passionate history of the very cars that inspire me and so many others. Thanks mate. Seriously looking forward to our next drive. Cheers from Australia. Mike. (Dkubus).

The only thing that really motivates me daily is the dream of having a collection one day

[@patriziodinicola9362]

If you can see it and feel it already in your mind my friend, it means it is on his way to you. So be full with joy and thanksgiving already now. Because you already have it. ✨ Enjoy it! 🌠

[@davidzoller9617]

Cars are nice toys for boys and I love them, but it's maybe more easy to really enjoy them just virtual on a screen then to really own them. Once you start collecting cars, you soon realize that there always will be cars missing in the collection to be fully satisfied. So the desired satisfaction will stay an illusion. But maybe that's just me talking.

The pinnacle of a classic sedan design. Perfectly proportioned and enhanced in all the right ways. This could have been a much longer and in-depth study. Maybe a follow up?

[@Porsche996driver]

Spa 1971 yeah! When AMG was just a garage in Affalterbach. The 280 body style was so clean and loses those bumpers nicely. Most folks don’t realize the 3.5 model was actually a small V8.

[@markusdietrich6777]

You are wrong! Yes, it was a garage, but until 1976 it was in Großaspach, a even smaller village 10kms away from Affalterbach, hence the name AMG (Aufrecht, Melcher, Großaspach) = surnames of the two founders and the village name.

[@romamistry5691]

Another amazing film by the NativeFour team! Riveting!!

[@siLox95]

What a great short film, thank you markus and team

[@alexmartin9951]

My father had a neat mildly modified silver 6.3 300Sel when I was little. It was like riding in a space ship for a 4 year old. One of the very few things we bonded over. Thank you for this story!!!

Hola Magnus, que bueno tener un nuevo video tuyo, y como siempre muy buena calidad de producción. Espectacular.

[@IamAvidity]

You all do a great job with these vids, they are very well made.

[@krh007]

"Epic Custom build" with and perfect choice of intake system for that engine and trans choice to back it up. Well done and so cool result. Must be a real blast to drive for sure to take your mind and body back to an epic time in AMG's racing history. Reminds me of the Sauber C8-Group C mid 80's when the mighty V8 gutteral sound dominated. Far better than modern day F1 racing - wish they would go back to that class

[@83cadillacjoe]

Beautiful! Love it.

Way to short my man, love the idea of recreating that beast of a car, I've owned 3 280sel's with the 3.5ltr, still have one today, I've also got a Grosser that needs a lot of work, I'd never undertake a conversion though, Rj in Oz

[@AppleJack76]

My first car was a 280SE 4.5 in 1993. She was also silver. I ran her hard, but took well care of her. I even dragged raced her at Brotherhood Raceway Park on Terminal Island. For 5,000+ lbs, she ran low 17's. I wish I kept her and turned her into a kleines Schweinchen.

[@waldi2302]

Nice I bet the Silver Sau pulls hard in every gear. That's a verry good tribute to the AMG cars, which were running in endurance races back in the day, when Hans Werner Aufrecht started his business.

very cool. i think there are several ways of building a car like this. the original 6.3 is not that easy to come by and they are not cheap. The 6.9 liter from the 450SEL from the 70s would be an option, but i think the M120 V12 should be an interesting sounding and affordable option? could sound like a pagani zonda :)

Typically people just custom make metal mounts and place two vintage stopwatches in them. That’s what they did back in the day, one for race time and one for split times

I still have to get used to the drivers look - but the rest of it - legendary. Beside the fact that I do not get to know what exactly the technical data of all of this is. For sure not the identical engine the 'Rote Sau' once had - so a little bit more information on this might be practical ...
