[HOONIGAN] DT 217: Bagged RHD 1972 Mercedes 280

[@TheHoonigans]

So do we do more “Low and Slow” rides? Let us know.

[@xTerraH]

heck ye dood

[@melaniearnol6336]

Nah

[@greenbean7853]

Yes please, just lightly try to scumbag a few of them into a burnout if they want to try.

[@TheHoonigans]

Even if it’s just once in a while?

[@valkarez1137]

TheHoonigans mmmmmmmeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh

[@greenbean7853]

That thing is insanely clean.

[@Aznderek67]

Insanley clean that thing is

[@SamSneed001]

Cleaner than a Colombian chick with a Brazilian wax.

[@dobledekersoulwrekr]

Except for the amp wiring the trunk

[@always_trust_all_scientists]

I like that it's sooo clean that it's cleanliness makes the car insane. That's how clean that is.

[@bhugeloo95]

trust me, i filmed my friends 280 SE yday kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2HYiZmEmbJ4jrs

[@TheJoeDavisx]

Get Mighty Car Mods involved one day! They would love that Ute!

[@freddieastaire6312]

Joey Yes Please

[@benwilkinson1594]

Yeah no

[@GrilledTomato]

Hoon's gonna meet Moog

[@360nastybusiness]

+Ben Wilkinson eh yes

[@benwilkinson1594]

Nasty business. Do you know anything about Australian car culture

[@Maxam-Media]

This is an incredible build! Love how the owner spent time to find all the factory options for this specific car to make it like you just bought a 280 Merc with all its options in 72. You can definitely tell he has a passion for this car.

[@ElReySupr3me]

He has a passion for his del sol as well.

[@danielwilliams7458]

It is!

[@aizatms]

Missed Scotto on the cam. Good to see you round from time to time boss.

[@TheHoonigans]

Scotto has been busy keeping things behind the scenes in motion. But don’t worry, we are gonna force him to show his fleet of non-running cars some love.

[@nikyjim]

*cough* Napalm Nova *cough*

[@kylerus8866]

Rolling art.

[@walperstyle]

bro has too many holes in his face though

[@danielwilliams7458]

It is seriously!

[@lukasprien4338]

True

[@lukasprien4338]

@@walperstyle yeah i agree thats just looking wierd

[@ryankelly1182]

OEM+ is the classification you're looking for, btw

[@greenbean7853]

Some of these accessories he has I need to try and copy on my f100. Like a work light with an 8 foot cord.

[@adamm2716]

i got an f-1 the work light is super helpful

[@TheNodle]

this dude is chill, another great guest!

[@brandonsoto4277]

The music during the beauty shot of this car was spot on fits it perfect

[@mind7933]

RIP 6th street bridge

[@JosePerez-sp5bk]

Edwin Marmol why what happened

[@JosePerez-sp5bk]

Edwin Marmol oh wait nvm i should've watched the episode first its right at the beginning😂

[@walperstyle]

Damn, I'm bringing my s15 down in august. It would have been awesome to take pics in the area.

[@ktsince83]

Pure class. Absolutely beautiful 😎😎😎

[@Thee_Sinner]

I feel like this is more of Low Rider than stance. Im not sure how to describe why I feel that tho.

[@TheHoonigans]

Yeah, we sort of agree. It’s transcends typical “stance” trends.

[@beardedman8884]

Stance originated from muscle cars and low riders didn't it? having bigger tires in the back making your camaro lean forward is "stance. Lowering your car so it has a lower " stance" to the ground is stance. People who put a negative connotation on stance just don't understand it enough.

[@thetuber705]

+Glo Stix the Hermit Google stance car. You're not going to find a nova with slicks on it. You're going to find a Civic or Nissan Cube. Lowriders have A stance, they're not stanced. I personally like the stance a trophy truck has, it's not a stanced car though, it has a mean looking stance, not stanced. A gasser isn't stanced, it certainly has a weird looking stance though.

[@TheBuuurnz]

I kind of think bagged is a different thing then stanced. Stanced just seems more static to me

[@h2omelon02]

I like to think of it as a German Lead Sled, but its too new for that era as well so idk

[@tapd9073]

imo stance is cars built for looks, this is stance, the sickest stance merc ever

[@ExV1rUS]

I'd consider this more of a Low rider without the crazy paintjob than a stance car :) Because of the eye for detail's!

[@MikeDyer6378]

As more of a Benz purist, at first I was like "ok, some put air on a W108 6-cylinder" and then I saw that 3.5 badge on the back and was like "come on, you put air on a W108 V8???" ...then by the time I finished the video I saw the passion Jimmy has for the brand, and how crazy he was/is about the details. Not to mention how stunning the car is, plus when lifted you can't tell from the outside it has been customized. Finding the thin line between personal vision and originality, that's pure automotive art at its best. Love it!

[@robertpintaric1033]

My first company in the 90s was Daimler Benz, my first Mercedes was a 1965 - 230 S. .... great video, best regards from Germany, Robert

[@jamesadams8327]

This is definitely a Euro low rider. Wonderfully stock appearing- the guy really cares about that car and what makes it special. Too cool!

[@user-JR800]

You need to slam the Rolls Royce and add the slow & low Hoonigans style too it & capable of crazy Hoonigans burn-outs.

[@Mike_RAG]

you ... you deserve a beer my friend

[@johnk4792]

Can't tell you how many boxes you ticked with this video. what a beautiful car. Thank you for another 10/10 .

[@VeepzM8]

Wish I was rich enough to afford a classic Mercedes like this. Something about them I just love!

[@jonodragicevich1286]

Veepz Bought a worse condition car with all original parts for 3k here in New Zealand, RHD, 1969 230

[@GhostRider-lr8nz]

I'm a real Mercedes purist, so when I saw this, I had to watch. I love the fact that they kept it looking stock, they didn't put stupid wheels on it or do a vinyl wrap. This is one of the best looking 115's I've ever seen. i love the dog dish hubcaps and the bags are a nice touch.

[@samkovisto3062]

W108

[@terzepterblue285]

Yoooo it's great to see one of these on DT my mum had a 1971 280 3.5L.

[@carlchilders6069]

I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE this car...Im not a low-rider guy because I would crush the bottom....THIS IS SICK...I love this owner...he really took his time and care putting this togther...

[@rokasvisockis4358]

You should make like all the photos to be able to download for us in your website that would be awesome

[@TheHoonigans]

Soon

[@blaqqofficial3132]

I just bought this car today. I’m excited to play around with it in the morning. Mine was from a old Mexican. It has low rider rims, he promised me the original rims but I may keep the low rider rims on. They look kinda good. 38k miles. Everything works, from AC to wiper. I just gotta buff it out and put bags on it in a year or so.

[@PlayKeeps-il4fn]

Cant sleep without watchin a episode of #TheHoonigans

[@LTMCMedia]

I’ve wanted a 280 for a long time. This is exactly what I’d do. This car is absolute PERFECTION.

[@heryperez7379]

I think anything automotive y’all need to feature it here, whatever it is I’d watch it, y’all are like the best way to be exposed to the crazy things out there in the automotive field and I think y’all should feature it

[@premiersmith9317]

My granddad had 3 of these 2 that ran and I remember that old thermometer on the window. The steering wheel has always been one of the most beautiful. It was nice riding in these from 1993-2000

[@bstegmedia]

A stance build is always appreciated once and awhile!

[@stylepoints.180]

Bsteg Media its not stance its a low rider

[@farieeds]

its not a low rider....its a merc on bags

[@milkomigneco6879]

That's a car loving MB owner, kudos for him, amazing work, you can see how much time, effort and good loving he has put on his car. Not big fan of low rider but this 280 is a sweet ride

[@89wagoneer]

If you guys didnt ask about a burnout i woulda been pissed but at least the effort was there.

[@benjaminmoreno2780]

Matt Hill quickest “no” I’ve seen in a while

[@89wagoneer]

Benjamin Moreno what?

[@benjaminmoreno2780]

The owner when asked if the car would do burnouts quickly said no

[@89wagoneer]

I get it now, yeah he knew it was coming.

[@TheDuckumz]

First 30 seconds of seeing it im in love, the shape from factory is beautiful in its self. Love that he kept it clean and subtle with everything even down to the wheels. Perfect build for that chassis...

[@TheDuckumz]

When he stands it up i couldnt help but smile, that thing is the shit

[@KennethStaton]

when your beyond VIP, you go DIPLOMATIC with your ride. that OG benz is a dream ugh

[@lukasprien4338]

That thing is insanely clean. Never seen such car with that appearence.

[@travelvlog1018]

That gangster lean in the beginning shots thoo😊😊

[@nelsongarcia-tn7tt]

Re-watching this during the Coronavirus outbreak. Hygiene IS very important. Scotto 2 years ahead of the curve. 👍🏻

[@SubliminalXtaC]

18:25 RIP Hert 4/20/69 - 2/8/18 Disrespected to death

[@fakealexstrong]

SubliminalXtaC 4/20/69 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jcm0889]

Jamaica Queens!

[@glopsnopper3806]

To be honest I have always liked you fellas at Hoonigan since you always accept other forms of car culture. It is how the car scene should be. So if someone has a interesting ride they should be featured on DT regardless of it's performance and such. I mean you guys already know this but it's why I like this channel so much.

[@DeeZeeGR]

Haha I was wondering when you were going to ask if it does a burnout!!!At least you tried 😂!Glad to see a Scotto filmed episode

[@SoCalW212]

Saw this beautiful car at Cars and Coffee. So clean

[@zippyzebra7058]

You guys should put bags on the rolls

[@stephantranquille6681]

This Benz is Flamin' sweet and wished we'd see more of'em. It is perfect in every way.

[@Nimbus.]

I would be scared to look at this thing it is so perfect.

[@TheHoonigans]

We sighed a breath of relief when it left and Hert hadn’t dinged it or something.

[@DrR0B0TN1K]

This has to be the most beautiful ride featured on this show. I am truly speechless. WOW.

[@user-ot8nf9pw3d]

What a beauty 😍

[@fletchermusician3365]

What Beautiful Mercedes.. Luv the Colour, and all the mods done to it.. FAB video Guys.. thumbs UP

[@joshuamoore9519]

Comments range from "Damn this car is clean" to "JuMP sHiTcaR oFf tHe DoCk!"

[@WhereverHugo]

The "jump shitcar car off the dock" is the comment above this one lol

[@DYTangler]

I love that it is an appreciation of all things Automotive. Some beautiful, some not so much, some running, some not so much. But always different, good, and fun to watch.

[@tougefeels7332]

you guys should get some lowriders on an episode

[@TheHoonigans]

On it.

[@johndoyle7546]

Not spot the one over by the gate beside the trailer at 16:20ish👀👀

[@adamm2716]

hold on now that's a slippery slope.. lol

[@haitianjack4075]

Watching this one again because it's something you definitely don't see everyday

[@E_Lo67600]

Brew with nads. People only hate on him because there not old enough to drink a beer at 10am.

[@LibertySpam]

Ethan Lopez genius, perhaps we could learn more and slow the hate towards him

[@Elarquerodesconocido]

la bandera Argentina en un mercedes hecho por HOONIGAN, INCREIBLEEEEE!!!!!!

[@jesussantiago2342]

Perfection old school is the best

[@TheJulez91]

YES!! Love this! I have a '69 US spec Mercedes-Benz 280SEL (I live in Holland). I think it's funny that you guys in America like the EU-spec stuff, and over here we like the US-spec stuff. I absolutely love the sidemarkers on mine, because cars over here don't have those, and it gives the car that extra bit of presence at night. I can't wait to get mine fixed so I can safely drive it and bagged so I can look good driving it. When it's done, I'll ship it over to Cali so you guys can do a build breakdown on it, hehehe.

[@iwannabentley]

That style is very popular in the UK.

[@pedromendoza2146]

That's right Hoonigan Big Shoutout! Still have my 1992 Mercedes Benz 190e 2.6 Living Strong Showing Love to them Foreign's All Day

[@2ezFilms]

Hert didn’t get to catch this one on fire lmao

[@walternelsonolivera6269]

It was very impressive, even more with the detail of the flag on the front grill. My greetings .

[@chrissolano4605]

I’m not the only one who wants kikawa merch am I?

[@TheHoonigans]

Likely not.

[@marvengresh9562]

I've always wanted to see a Mercedes on Hoonigan and I'm so glad the day finally came, and my goodness what a beautiful Benz!

[@Gigachad_97]

thank you so much for my hoonigan roadside repair bag!

[@TheHoonigans]

👌🏼

[@Gigachad_97]

TheHoonigans holy shit you replied😂👌

[@sander0811]

I think it's awesome to see people modify their cars while still paying respect to the original. This is just an improved version of the car that rolled out of the factory years ago

[@MrCabooodle]

Hert, you said you had a crown vic at one point from what i remember, you've seen a sohc v8 lol

[@Ed_Deavors]

This is THE MOST beautiful vehicle I have seen on your show! So many ideas come to mind after watching this! YES MORE LOW-LOW'S! More everything. if it's a vehicle run it! FYI 2 wheels hoon also...Just so you know so if you get a few stunt bikes to wild-out on and off the dock Don't ask just go for it. They can back fire, space race, everything Donut Garage approves of! EXPAND!

[@foho100]

It doesn't do burnouts but we could at least have heard the sound of the engine :)

[@2ezFilms]

You can tell how much he loves the car and has but time into it. That’s what makes this channel so enjoyable. The last video (V8 cooper) was just a db guy who bought it. Hert set him in his place. Notice how this Benz survived hahah. Love the channel guys keep it up

[@TheHoonigans]

Thx. 👍🏼

[@trife86]

NEEDS MORE KIKAWA.

[@staticmz3398]

Just woke up for this

[@Garyagdy]

My uncle found a 92 Cadillac Fleetwood 5.7 V8 with only 4000 km on the counter. Basically new and rare as hell, because we live in Turkmenistan. After watching this, I know what I’ll suggest him doing now.

[@jordannorthcote9719]

Need an Australian on the show now you are working on the ute!

[@jordannorthcote9719]

Also.... You need to bring Cletus Mcfarland and Leroy or the Dale Truck to rip it in the factory!!!

[@MrFurai]

Those noise complaints must be for real. Haven't seen a burnout in like 4 episodes now, but its still great content hoonigan. That merc is beautiful mate. So clean.

[@elyomasyoquenunca7970]

ARGENTINA!!!!!

[@benznut7006]

4/2018 my bagged 1966 220seb with a 4.6L 32v made it's public debut. the 280 looks great

[@EgoTheSavage]

Whats insane to me is that he did things like change the tail lights to a rarer version on an already incredibly rare car.

[@jondoe8423]

Cool the gentleman knows about country specific specs! Ain't shXXXte men. Had a 3.5 W109 in the 1990ies. Issues: one valve at Front wheel leaking Xchanged gearbox and steering gearbox. Was sucking "false air" w/ the d- jetronic, but at least I tightenwd leak @ inductive Sensor. Am mech eng from Darmstadt & Karlsruhe, DE

[@joseffencl2034]

Man I could watch building episodes with Dan everyday, always looking forward to see them

[@knothuang1582]

Like before watch it

[@Mikeysnelgar]

Purely from an appearance standpoint, this is my favourite car that’s been on the show thus far.

[@kiwifreshstyles6607]

That car with amg bi turbo v8 would be mental

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Kiwifresh Styles no that would be pointless i agree i luv badass engines but this car with tons of power would be useless if you cant bring yourself to hoon it and its to pretty to beat on like [insert favorite supermodel here] in a ufc ring

[@kiwifreshstyles6607]

Jake Browne it's not pointless it's more each to there own. itd be sick to hear a turbo flutter straight after the bags drop then smoke the street out that's the scumbag way lol .like I said each to there own

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Kiwifresh Styles ok i see the point but its like wanting a fast prius in my opinion just not the right platform

[@kiwifreshstyles6607]

Jake Browne I agree with were your coming from tho. I mean why buy a Prius if u want the power of a Tesla

[@kiwifreshstyles6607]

Still a sick ride either way

[@gordonlister4992]

Dope, just listened to the smoking tire podcast with Matt Crooks & they mentioned this car then boom next Hooligan video it's here! I smell setup Scotto!

[@skorpymlt4879]

who ever hates on this car needs to stop breathing.

[@TheRPGentleman]

Lol, says the edgy guy with his Disturbed picture. You sure are cool.

[@chinadashauthority65]

A classic Mercedes made ghetto, still the owner likes it so that’s all that matters.

[@julesf6307]

Dream car material. Such dedication... Mind blown. I really like that kind of DT

[@valkarez1137]

"does it do burnouts" lol

[@archerchris02]

This is probably one of my favourite videos you've done this year

[@benGman69]

He could also, eventually, make it faster too...?

[@marcusfrostenson9959]

BenGman not really

[@traciespivey1687]

I have a static 75 240d with a 5.0 in it

[@mattfields3052]

Tracie Spivey your wrong for that jk 😂😂

[@DRRAGE6488]

what's the 0-60 on that? like 29 seconds? heh heh

[@Dubatt0]

DR.RAGE it doesn't even reach 60 :P

[@SendingStache]

this car is one of the sickest rides you guys have ever shown. definitely bring on more like this

[@whitebeltatlife51]

I want a like from TheHoonigans! Lmao

[@TheHoonigans]

👍🏼

[@matjames9672]

That is possibly the most beautiful car I've ever seen.

[@deangelolawson6184]

This is falls in the VIP build category instead of stance or low rider imo ....low an slow with style an grace

[@uliwehner]

very cool, the coupe version of this is one my all time faves. and, yes, they did also come with a BIG v8 (6.3) for burnout, and factory air ride. MB used to race this body style back in the day.

[@aight5420]

Hello scotto

[@TheHoonigans]

He says, yo.

[@bourbonandbeard9721]

This is the Only Mercedes I've ever liked. This thing bagged is super dope. Extremely awesome.

[@chrissolano4605]

6:52 what car is that??

[@TheHoonigans]

An Impala Bad Daddy Brad was driving.

[@chrissolano4605]

TheHoonigans future build breakdown?

[@jorgyr36]

Sick.. I didn't see that just watching was looking for a flaw in the body work or paint

[@robertwalker8910]

I accidentally paused at 3 seconds, and all I could see was Kikawa looking at me ashamed. Thanks Hert.

[@daarupappe]

This 280 dude kinda resembles Ken Block in a way

[@lukasloos4340]

Can we quickly take a second to note that air was in fact not an option on this w108 but came standard on w109 models. Which is essentially the same car but always LWB. either way, this is like the nicest one I've seen!

[@ryandavis5549]

Bag the yukon

[@alanandino9421]

This is real clean. I strongly wanna say I saw this ride at the Fontana auto club speedway. N when I wanted to take a pic he was gone.

[@dsdc4452]

I will bet anyone $20 Hoonigan wont heart this

[@TheHoonigans]

Send $20.00 check payable to Hoonigan Industries, 621 Golden Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802. Thx.

[@staticmz3398]
