In hard times, you find out who your true friends are. You are a classy guy Tyler. Thanks for this, and keeping hopes up for Steve's recovery!

Thank you so much for filling in for Steve while he is away Tyler!! Truly appreciate you taking the time to take us along with you on your junkyard crawls. Get well soon Steve!!! We miss ya!

Still praying hard for Steve's recovery.

Hey Mr. Hoover, it's a shame that this will be your last of your takes on Junkyard Crawl on this channel. I really appreciate you helping out the channel and I feel sorry for Steve. I hope he gets better soon and the poor guy has really dropped out of the scene these past few months. My mornings lately have been kind of empty without the Junkyard Crawls, so once again, thanks for your efforts Tyler!

Hope your recovery is going well, Steve!😀

Thank you for helping Steve you are a great guy and I enjoy your work too!!👍

Hoovie’s a class act for stepping up and helping Steve. Keeping good thoughts for Steve’s recovery.

Thank you once again, Tyler for filling in for Steve. You’re a good friend. All of us are hoping that Steve has a speedy and full recovery and his back soon.

Thank you for Helping Steve out! 🇺🇸💪🏼

Thanks Hoovie! Get well soon, Steve!

You finally got the crawl down Hoovie and I am sure Steve and his Family are happy you stepped in.

Hope and prayers for our friend Steve. This your last one? Is anyone else going to step up?

Hi Tyler, appreciate this!

Thanks for filling in. I've been watching all of the old videos that I missed. Hoping the best for Steve and Like everyone else I hope to see him back at it soon.

If im going to take any advice for owning a mercedes its tyler. The man is basically a mercedes connisseur

"Hoovie Magnante" ? Im Teasing !! Thanks Tyler for helping a brother(Steve) out !!! The blessing with come back to u ! Get well🙏 Steve, there's a lot more junk yards to crawl thru !!

Tyler, Thank you for taking the time to cover for Steve. Its very refreshing to see friends step up when you're down.

Yes, 1980 because the emission decal next to it says that it complies with US standards for the 1980 model year and the VIN isn't 17 digits. Late 1979 could still be a 1979 with some manufacturers, but not in this case based on the emission decal. Possible DB735 Astral Silver exterior paint. Model year 1981 would bring 17-digit VIN numbers, a system we still have today. The could be made in Bremen, Stuttgart or Sindelfingen, Germany. With the VIN, you win: 123 for W123 chassis, 130 for 300D, 1 for left hand drive, assembled in Germany, 2 for automatic transmission and the rest is the production sequence.

Hover, great job! Love both yours and Steve's content. Thanks for filling in for Steve.

Hoovie, you deserve one H*LL of a great big THANK YOU for covering these videos for Steve! You KNOW he appreciate it immensely!

I currently own a 1983 MB 240D with a four speed manual transmission. It is a gutless four banger with no turbo. There is very little rust and that's why it's still on the road. It has not quite 300,000 miles on it and everything on it works, except the A/C which only needs its annual charge. Even the analog clock still works! The Junkyard Crawl is one of my favorites. Thank you for filling in for Steve and I pray for his recovery.

Thanks Tyler ! Steve will appreciate your help prayers and assistance 🎉🎉🎉

Great job, Tyler. Get well soon, Steve.

That may be the most well known Merc ever. I rode in a W123 diesel taxi in Florence Italy in 2018 - still going strong!

Get well soon Steve

So generous of you Hoovie. Your videos are great. I look forward to having Steve back. But you're an awesome step in.

Thanks for helping Steve out. And I love those old Mercedes Benz Diesels. Incredibly reliable, I've owned several myself over the years.

Love to Steve and Hoovie. Avid watcher of both. also I have thoroughly enjoyed hoovies junk yard crawls...might be something to consider now and then in the future! I hope all is going well with Steve.

Knowledge is power. Thanks Tyler. Get well Steve.

Steve we are praying and pulling for your recovery.

I was so happy to hear Steve was doing better I prayed for him every single day since I learned of his illness he's doing better...... I just can't wait to see him back on KZfaq and back to Barrett-Jackson..........Barrett-Jackson just not the same without him..... There is a God....

Very cool of you to do this for a friend!

Stroking the algorithm for Steve! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thanks Tyler. Steve... we miss you man!

met with a elderly gentlemen randomly that went to Germany and ordered his wagon personally, it was amazing to me that he kept it all these years and it still looked great!

Not my kind of car but I';ll watch it just to help Steve and his channel, keep'em coming Hoovie.

I really wish they would give us a update on Steve, we don't wanna know his personal business but were concerned fans of his and were worried about him also, get well Steve, we miss you bro

Thanks for keeping the Junkyard Crawl going in Steve's absence. I look forward to Steve's return and will be seeing you on your channel.

Best wishes Steve. Get well soon, miss you.

Thanx for filling in for Steve.

Remember the EMP proof Mercedes Tyler used to have. I sure would recommend getting one again so you as a car enthusiast would still be able to drive then!

Really nice of you to keep us entertained while we wait for Steves come back. Thank you Tyler, you did a great job filling in.

Thank you for your efforts Tyler! I like that you do different cars than Steve does! Your knowledge is very interesting!

I've really enjoyed your versions of these tours. You bring something different and I enjoy that. I hope you'll keep doing these.

Very concise history from 50 years ago, respect to you hoovie for helping out a friend in need!

You’re a stand-up guy Hoovie. Thanks for being a friend to Steve. And hope Steve is well on the road to recovery.

I am Praying for you Steve and can’t wait for you to get back

Thanks Hoovie for the videos ! You definitely have more knowledge than I would ever have . Get well soon , Steve

Great thing you guys are doing for Steve. From the jump, i wondered if this was gonna be a diesel👍 still miss mine.

Hope Steve gets back at it soon. Glad everyone has come together to help him in his rough time. The car community is like no other.

The final installment? Does this mean that Steve will be back for the next installment? Thank you Tyler for helping our friend while he recovers. I enjoy your channel too. Prayers for Steve 🙏

Thanks Tyler!

Keep us current on Steve. He is always a part of my day, wishing him the best...

In auto tech class in the 90s we had an instructor teach for a week all about the Mercedes K-Jetronic fuel injection. It was interesting, but like we said at the time, "When are we ever going to work on this?"

🙋You're kicking ass brother 🍀get home Steve 😎✌️

We're all pulling for you Steve. Hope to see you soon. Thanks Hoovie for helping out

You have done a great job filling in for Steve! Hope he is feeling better each day.

Tyler, thank you for doing an admirable job in Steve's absence .

Hoovie!!! We appreciate you for doing this!! Keep it up! Praying for Steve even tho Tyler brought me to this channel

Going to miss you carrying the torch for Steeve. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort.

That's a crusty old MB ! Get well soon Steve. Thanks for filling in, Hoovie.

Love your channel Tyler. Thank you for helping Steve with his channel and keeping it going. You are much appreciated. Praying for Steve's recovery.

It's great thing you're doing Tyler, wishing Steve a speedy recovery 🙏

Miss you, Steve. Praying for you and your family. I hope you have a speedy, full recovery. Hang in there, you got this!

Thank you, Tyler! Steve, I hope you get well soon! We miss you!

Had a 78 280cD for a moment when I was younger. Olive green with a tan interior, coupe, non turbo. Didnt like speeds above 65-70 without a bit of coal training

I’m SO happy to hear you’re on the mend Mr. Magnante!!

My kingdom for a decent w123 wagon !!!! My absolute #1 favorite car ever .

Nice job Tyler! You’re a true friend and I’m sure Steve appreciates you time and effort !!

Great job standing in, Tyler. Thank you!

Thanks for helping Steve

Wishing Steve a speedy recovery, and many thanks to you for doing a great job filling in and keeping the channel going.

A 240D would have had 62 or 67 hp and a 300D 77hp. The 300TD 125hp. The W124 had atmospheric diesel engines of 100hp and more. Great video. ;)

"Regulations" A.K.A. Insurance company profits! Thanks for filling in for the great Steve Magnante Tyler, good job.

Watching the "Junkyard crawl" playlist from the beginning, just wish I had beer.

Thanks for filling in! I hope Steve's recovery is going well.

What most people don't realize today, but until the late 90s diesel was much cheaper than gas, sometimes half the price. So you not only got better mileage but cheaper fuel.

Thanks guys, Steve get well soon!

There is nobody that can fill Steve's shoes but Tyler you do a great job at it. We are all happy to have you fill in, you do a great job sir. I'm sure Steve will be back at it soon. Steve is at home resting and getting better, but I'll bet he is researching for more car videos ahead. Tyler and Steve is a great team and we love you both.

In Germany, the "lower" 123's had also these round headlights. The sqaure ones were for the "bigger" motorized cars like the 280 E.

Hoovie, you’re a good friend! Get well Steve!🙏🏻

Nice job filling in Tyler thank you . I hope to see you back soon Steve

Thanks for keeping Steve's channel active!
