Change of ride !

The dark side is calling ! I'm trying to fight temptation !!

But how cool (imho) does this look !!!!

My brother and i have been toying with that idea for a while.
but i don't want to give up the dubs and he doesn't want to give up the holdens.

but then ya get things like this and it makes ya wanna stay veedub !!!




And this !!!!!!!!!!!

they look better in the 2door fastback form😉

I'm sure Cam can come up with some more hot Merc's. 🙂

old mercs can look really tasty indeed, and they're still German after all.

That Benz is pimpin :bounce

although i dont like the riced up tails:puke

nah even the clear lenses suits it. and i like the colour. nice orig. but SLAMMED!😎

Clean and clear, nice and clean looking.

Only thing the Merc needs now is about a 4" chop.

That's about right now...

I'm with Matt, it needs a roof chop! :thumb

I guess the upside is that it's still German engineering. Personally, I'd take the slammed Merc over a slammed Bug any day! (I know I'm gonna get into trouble for saying that, but I like to have some elbow room! :o)

hmmmmmm... my work colleague will like those pics very much.

very posh and regal looking... but just not fun enough!

You're right Peter. I love mercs:bounce

Oh it is, just hit the switches for the bagged suspension and watch peoples faces !!!

Need to go out now. But I'll post more when I get back😀:thumb

man those mercs are pimpin im drooooling!




is that Ali G's brother😀

This one is the hottest

Electronically limited ofcourse:kiss

Almost bought one very similar to this earlier in year !!!!



But i resisted !!!

Man I've always wanted one of the 'finnie' mercs with the 6.3lt donk- the would be so sweet slammed to the ground😎.

:cussing NO... must stay focussed..... vw's rule vw's rule vw's rule... :thumb😀 ahh thats better:P

Not the big 8's you can't. They still fetch abit unless you find someone who does'nt know what they have.

I would love an m100 600. That would be the ultimate. Which is the one I think you're talking about, with the 6.3. But they go for alot more than a song.

There were a few coupes and convertibles that escaped the factory with 6.3's as well. But these are worth a few vital organs a piece.

There were also a couple of 280S's that got the 6.3's by owners who custom ordered them with the motors. But we never got any in Aus and have only seen a couple online.

ROTFLMAO. So true!
Find "got the life" by "KoRn" on kazaa under videos. Some Merc eye candy in that vid 😀:thumb

got some more pics?

I want them low:bounce

Some dude has a webpage with a black one the same as mine on hydros.

I'll do a hunt and see if I can find it. :thumb

What you got cam !

look closely

its a ford?

It's a long one !!!

It's a hearse 😀 Dammit I want a hearse!!!


I have a W114 1972. I'm the third owner. It was tourist delivery. Bought in Germany, RHD by a Priest and his wife. Still has the AUSTRALIEN sticker on the drivers sunvisor and the St Christophorus (sp?x2) plaque on the dash. Right under the 160MPH speedo.

I looked at some bent 8 S classes since they were my first preference. But they were all in need of full resto and big $$$

So I got this 6cyl 230 instead. Dropped it off at Volkspower where they did all the suspension bushings, rear shocks, some balljoints, engine mounts, waterpump seal, auto service, etc, etc, etc...
Recomend them to everyone and anyone with a German car :thumb😀:thumb

The quote for the work I used to bargain the price down, so I ended up with a kickarse big comfy trans continental cruiser for less money than a bug in the same condition.

I still find it Ironic that this car which was built 30+years ago has fully independent suspension all around. A smooth shifting auto, is deathly silent. Has 4 wheel disks, power steering and air con. And mine is the base model:jesus
There is no way I'd buy something domestic again after owning this car. No way!

Still thinking of getting the S class tho. I want the same model and colour as what they have at the end of the Exorcist. Drop it on some AMG rims with big brakes, Supra 6 speed, LSD and an E55 motor.
Well, when I win tattslotto anyway🙁

The only thing the W114 has over it's big brother of the same era is an independent rear end. The S class used a 4 link live axle and fully hydraulic suspension all around.

post pics!

These are some pics I took when I was trying some wheels out.

looks good but i hope u kept the stock wheels with the whitewalls🙂

Yeah, I kept them. Does'nt have whitewalls tho.

get some and slam it😀

BTW got any more pics of slammed old school benz':beers?

nah, not my style. Need to get some lowered springs. Stiffen it up and put some lo-pros on it.

Make it stick and slide first and foremost 😀

umm... do a search dude. If you're after the S classes they're called M100's and the smaller bodies are called W114's.

Damn where have I been? BOys, remember when I was saying I need to sell the notch to get a merc...........Well needless to say the first pic......Not that Particular car, But you get the picture....NOw situation has changed with work so not buying one...............................YET. Bug should be ready soon, so I will be tied up in that for a while...

N!

Yeah the first merc belongs to my cousin. I don't think he in any hurry to sell it. Still has an idea or two up his sleve yet to come !!

Man, your cousin has a kickarse ride 😀:thumb Any chance of leaking out some of his future plans?

I saw one the same model as that, in matte black, slammed on 18" AMG rims. Same as what the '98 E-Series has, in the last lot of pics I posted.

How cool would one of these be !!! If i had enough money !!!

8 seater very cool just replacing the door hinge bushes

[Edited on 4-3-2004 by david]

Yeah yeah i know not veedub but new rims and looks might fine !
Getting more and more tempted to sell my bugs, keep the kombi and get me one of these !!!!
🙂🙂🙂

Still a great bagged bug
🙂

man next time im in QLD i got to visit yo cuz!
:bounce

I saw 2 of these old mercs this morning, as low as the first pic, numberplate on the ground, couldnt believe my eyes,
wasnt keen on the old mercs, now i have respect............

bloody hell! It looks mad with the wire rims on :o

i think i've always had a soft spot for vintage mercs, those dumped standard ones with whitewalls or spoked wheels are PIMP!

There seem to be a lot of restored vintage mercs around recently, seems like a lot have been coming out of the woodwork recently

I'm gonna get me one !! Got the go ahead from the mrs 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
