Oh wow... Tyler added the word "sell" to his vocabulary! Good for you man :) thats a pretty hard 4 letter word to learn.

The two minute men's soap ad I just watched should cover the burned Ferrari. You're welcome.

Hoovie will make $6000 off the sale, then lose $20K on his next deal.

I would do anything to go back into a perfectly working W221 S600. I used to have one and hearing your sl start up with the bings and bongs made me feel super nostalgic. I almost cried because of how much I miss it. I had it for 13 years. I can remember the smell it had (smelled like it did when we bought it new) and the super comfortable ride with the insanely powerful V12 at the time

You have a white convertible but it's 10FT under ground

One of my favorite Mercedes ever produced. So beautifulllllll

IMO, what prevents you from decapitation is the windshield and its sturdiness. One SL was flipped on a circuit, and the structure was not affected, the glass did not even break. The rollbar was made to future-proof the car against regulations and ensure a global distribution. Still a good idea anyway.

Informative video as always. Thanks A few points from a long time owner. The folding roof never failed me in 16 years of ownership (it was then 22 years old. You just need to operate it at least once a month. Well it always worked for me, and I regularly had the hardtop on and off and then on again... When you are about to put the soft top down consider putting a rolled up soft clean towel lengthwise in the back window ( create about a 4inch roll all the way across the folding roof) when the roof is halfway down you need to get out of the car stop the roof insert the towel (boring I know) This will stop the perspex creasing and cracking at the edges, as the perspex hardens over time. Sure you have to stop the roof going up halfway and then put the towel somewhere . I suggest the space where the roof folds into but it's worth it to avoid the perspex damage (I think) On the v8 SL's using the gearbox shifter brings the car alive when you want more excitement. Lastly the solid carved out of granite feel of the car you feel in a a well maintained never goes away even after all these years, so when there is only two of you in years to come, you should consider adding another one to your garage, To keep that feel and not have mechanical surprises, as you said earlier, you do have use them regularly. Perhaps keep in touch with the new buyer and buy it back again for half the dollars. You will love having it in your garage.

Those wheels are fantastic on that Mercedes. Bravo.

Loved the series with this car. Sad to see it go. Hyped for the series with the next car. Keep up the good work.

My boy got a Ferrari Testarossa congrats Hoovie

Hoovie sells anything that's reliable. Tossing money down the drain is his #1 hobby. P.S. Can't wait to see what you buy next :D

Beautiful car...I always loved the SL's...sure wish I could afford to buy that one from you. Awesome car! Truly love your Channel! Stay dry

3:50 Gosh I love it when the antenna goes up when the radio turns on, nowadays you get a plastic pointed blob on top of your car.

I highly enjoy your videos including your fascination for eighties pop culture. I always respect (and enjoy watching) other people’s cars and passion about them. That actually keeps me watching these videos as well. I cannot think of Mercedes without thinking “taxi” and after driving SL convertibles or the big sedans I’m always glad I don’t own them, BUT seeing other people explain why they love them so much I do totally understand. I have that with hot rods too. And Ferraris. Then again I am already looking forward to your Miami Vice rendition on the next episode! Keep it up!

Happy anniversary second hoovie !!! :)

Looks like you bought another Ferrari. Don’t let Parker drive this one.

I love the sound it makes when you start the engine.

Hey it was only the other day driving through Nedlands western australia I seen a Mercedes-Benz Rod Star turning at the lights. What got my attension was the V12 badge on the side that combined with the up class location were I seen the elderly gentleman driving it you just knew it was all quality that's had a good life. The only thing it was missing to make it perfect was me behind the wheel. Anyway love your work man..

Oh I'm so gonna miss this car. I absolutely love it. I was really hoping youd keep it, since the price is going up and theres no hurry to sell, but oh well... At least you made some money out of it.

Just bought a 2007 Mercedes bluetech Diesel. E320 I absolutely love it.

Tyler, you really don’t have to financially ruin yourself for us

15k é pouco por um carro tão bacana e que ficou lindo, parabéns pelo restauro ! 15k is little for a car so cool and it was beautiful, congratulations on the restoration!

I love the “maybe I already have.” Oh Hoovie!

About a year ago I bought a 95 SL600 with 52k on it for $4k, put about another $5k in it and sold it a few weeks ago for $12,500. Listening to you describe your feelings toward the SL was like listening to a recording of what I said about mine. I will probably never own another, but if I do it will never be as nice for how little I had in it.

Hey Hoovie! Doug gave you a shout out in his 3008 video!!!!!!

The Thing with Tylers Videos is always this: "BUT WAIT THERE´S MORE". And I love that.

Tyler I'm lost for words are you insane to sell this piece of ART.

First an upload by daddy Doug and now Hoovie Couldn’t be better

From back in the days, when Hoovie actually reviewed a car, without the drama.

The top mechanism doing its thing sounds like a VCR getting ready to play. Perfect.

You're a freaking legend Tyler. Cheers from Australia.

Hoovie I see that VR4 in the back! Oh please do tell...

The absolute madman, You bought a Testarossa didn't you?

Loved this episode!!! :)

For some reason I cannot get enough of your videos on this car...

*IS THAT A 300CE CABRIOLET BEHIND THE C36AMG*

Is fragile as most items are in that generation of CL, I was happy to have one to use for a while but consistently saw myself filling the hydraulic fluid & checking tire wear since the rears would always end up worn incorrctly.

Great video! Keep it up 👍

A grouping of Mercedes-Benz cars should be called a galaxy. Because it's full of stars.

I see that 3000gt hiding in your garage!!!

I remember having somebody leaving one of those in the parking lot of the Toy's "R" Us I used to work back in the late 90's at with the top down while they shopped, when it started to absolutely pour out. When one of us mentioned it to the owner as she came up to the cash register, her response was "Eh" like it was no big deal and loaded every available spot in that car with her purchases, then left.

I just get mesmerized by the Buick Park Avenue Ultra every time I see it in the background! I LOVE my Cadillacs, but I do miss my Buick Park Avenue!

The collective noun for a group of Mercedes? Add to the list... A workshop of Mercedes? A depreciation of Mercedes?

Who owns the renntech cl? You? Have i missed something

love this channel!

Love your videos, I’m not a big Benz fan but that coupe is quite appealing. keep up the awesome stupidness, I say that will all respect because I’m equally as dumb and stupid because I love to buy cars or hoard them and parts away, currently at 9 cars. Can’t wait to see what comes out next

Why would you have the roll-bar up while you have the top up? It just restricts your visibility.

Hoovie is going to make endless Magnum pi jokes isnt he?

Tyler you must have bought a Testarossa, that is awesome stuff!!! I was soooooooooo sad when I saw you old Ferrari burn down. Can't wait to see more from Hoovies Garage

Well said Tyler. I agree. It is a graceful piece of Art that doesn’t quite match your lifestyle... considering your options (of other cars to drive). You may love all of your babies... but maybe one or two ... just a little bit more. Thanks for the video. Good luck.

Im going to guess hoovie got another ferrari

That SL600 looks beautiful. The interior looks almost brand new. I would daily drive that car and it would be a real fun commute. The new owner will definitely enjoy the car! Hopefully they remove that ugly Mercedes-Benz front plate...

I'm Jealous. That's a gorgeous car. Everytime I watch your videos I envy you because I would love to buy and sell and collect cars. Wish i had a warehouse. Lucky guy who bought it. Another great review !

Mercedes is my favorite brand, awesome that somebody loves them as much as I!

A shame that Mercedes stopped building V12 cars nowadays :(

If the Ferrari 355 can't be saved, you should turn it into a Jacuzzi or BBQ. It looks normal until you pop the hood revealing the Jacuzzi or BBQ. Perhaps the front clip into a desk. Be bold man! Be bold!

Love this model of SL, i'm very envious!

*YAYYY!!! Hoovie's Hooptie Hideout!!!!*

We all know there's no way he'll just get a good deal and nothing will go wrong

I just wanna thank KZfaq for notifying me of the video 2 days after it was posted...

Please put the c36 back on stock ride height suspension, such a cool car in stock form. Love the videos keep them coming.

I love the car, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Love your vids. mark, Bemidji, MN. subscriber.

Judging by the end of the video Hoovie has bought a Ferrari 328, probably a GTS as Ferrari only sold a very few GTBs in the US. I must admit I approve, the 308 and 328 2-seaters are wonderful to drive, aside from the extremely heavy clutch, and are probably the easiest Ferraris to own, but this is Hoovie and, judging by the way the values of these have gone over the last few years, this one probably has issues. A friend of mine had a 328 GTB that he used as his daily transport for more than 15 years and it was extremely reliable and surprisingly cheap to own...

Are you selling just because is a black convertible ? That's racism. Not all cars like that will catch fire, like that Ferrari.

This channel has the best cliff hangers on KZfaq!

Hoovie the type of guy to make good content

"The box design that literally every car manufacturer from the 90's had is way better than the bland design of the unique 2000's Mercedes look that doesn't stand out. The box design is iconic and stands out." It's ok to have your opinion but come on man, listen to what you are saying. The 90's look was interesting but I don't think you can say it stood out at all considering a lot of the designs going on in the 90's, meanwhile the 2000's design, especially considering the 4 oval headlights was and is not very common.

Uh, 600HP for $12k? You're a fine salesman Hoovie.

Classic and classy vid, just like the car!

My father crashed a W123 in to a solid object that did not budge doing 40 mph without breaking before impact and he walked out of that car with just some minor bruises, I know, because he came home just hours after it happened and told me. That car today is 35 years old. So yeah, these cars are safeish. Problem is perhaps if you crash really badly with another modern vehicle, this thing will still most likely loose the fight, and most likely pretty badly. A new car is much stronger then any car made 20 - 30 years ago. And I LOVE the W123's and I love these things you got there! I'd buy em off ya if I could! xD

Noooooo..... don’t sell it

A Multitude of MERCEDES..... your welcome

Hey bud. Love this channel.

Hey hoovie. Love the videos, er citroen have been doing hight adjustable hydro dynamic suspension since the 60s...id still rather have the merc though

just be honest and admit that you have a bdsm dungeon where your wife teaches you some "lessons".

it's called a "murder of mercedes" as in murder to your wallet to keep maintained.

Good Video, keep the mercedes content.

u have such a good sense of humor

that is a level of quality which USA is not able to produce not even in 2018!

Go buy a Cadillac Allante instead xD

It’s a work-of-art on wheels. Keep it, love it, care for it. 😘🥰

Not only door locks are vacuum operated also the head light adjustment even ignition partially. There's a little bit more than the locking which doesn't operate by engine vacuum by the way

man, unless you're happy with the money you're making you really need to sell some stuff...

How to make a "beautiful" german engine: have a cool intake manifold

Dude I cant wait for your TV show

Oh, silly Hoovie, you could have found the rear seats for the back of one via salvage, some SLs had them. Still not much room though, could crush the kids legs with the power seats, but it's a SL600, so will be a good story for them later in life when they exchange the crutches for a wheelchair....

But but.. LS swap it first!

wait till it burst in flames

Get some equal length headers on that! Imagine the sound Hoovie!!!!

I still cant believe you let this one go. Beautiful car....

Doug the type of guy to- oh, wrong video...

Yes you're but we enjoy your foolishness in car deals keep doing crazy deals and big mess lol

Youuu soo need a 1999 SLK 230.. would be so cool to the collection of convertible Mercedes :D also if you could find The "Cheapest 70's Mercedes 600 " that would be mind-blowing.

Love the Channel

Is it me or does that car makes you look 7 feet tall?

Why Kumho Hoovie? Why?... That car deserves a better tyre...

Tyler, have you ever given any consideration to adding a genuine muscle car to the hoopty Fleet? While the prices of the premium and more popular cars from the classic muscle era have skyrocketed, there are still several diamonds in the Ruff available out there. For example the Buick Grand Sport made from 1970 through 1972 could be had with a big block and a 4-speed, the exact same body style and suspension as the Chevelle and GTO, and is still available for under $20,000. Several makes from American Motors can be had at good prices, and if you're willing to do a little polishing you can actually find the more popular Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles, and GTOs at decent prices. I'd like to see one in the fleet and get your opinion on it. If nothing else, it would hold its value one hell of a lot better than the stuff you usually buy and repair cost on classic American Iron is a fraction of what the Euro stuff runs

You made the inspector Gadget reference and I immediately saw Inspector Hoovie 😂😂😂😂😂

$5000 isn’t considered cheap. While still holding on to its value when it was purchased and adjusting for today’s value. Yeah, it sounds cheap.
