The Car Glutton: Horse of a Different Color
I never thought it would happen... at least not for a few decades lol, but here we are. I just added a new pony to the stable - and this one is ELECTRIC. Good decision or horrible idea... we shall see. Come along and see journey with my very first EV, an all new 2023 Ford Mach E California Route One.

Found what I've been looking for - an OG Mercedes Benz that I can show off at my classic car club meets and cruise around town with. This one will be around for the long haul. We'll see sort of fun we can have with it - and if it's as dependable as everyone says!!

"What bus...What truck?" Still one of the funniest commercials ever to air on TV
@@gcfifthgear I know! It makes me laugh every single time. Thanks for watching - cheers!
My first car and I loved it was light powder blue xl with a landau roof and swivel seats
@@johnjayne8225 powder blue! I bet it looked amazing! Thanks for watching - cheers!
Is it actually a 280 or 250? First thing I'd do is return the correct badging to it. Is the engine an M130 twin carb or 110 single carb?
@@petercollingwood522 agreed! I’m going to get the badging squared away. It’s a 280 with a M110 engine. Thanks for watching - cheers!
You MISSED it! The 1972 model has the much more beautiful and classic curved lines in the hood and rear- 100% nicer! They screwed up the looks on the big re-designed 1973 model - made it look WAY too "boxy". I'm guessing you got some great "deal" and obviously that was THE most important factor to you. Sorry to state the obvious again, but you picked an ugly model of the 280. Still, it is a nice car, just not very good looking to most of the public as they had poor sales of it and immediately changed the design again shortly as that "boxy" look was not popular.
@@774kblake can’t say I agree with you, but I sure appreciate you watching. Cheers!
There are like 10 of these cars in decent condition left. I'm exaggerating, but you don't get to pick and choose model years. At least it doesn't have impact bumpers.
classic seats and headliner. Those old Benzs are the shit
@@squirestew4u agreed! I’m very happy with this thing and I can’t wait to see what i can do with it. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Linda is missed very much. Thank you.
good barn find....look really cool especially with red rims on it
@@fusestation2839 agreed! The patina on this truck is perfect as well. Thanks for watching - cheers!
S turn park!!! Never thought I’d see that in a video. I have a 71 XR7 convertible owned it 40 years. Happy 4th!
Somebody knows their Simi landmarks! 😄 Thanks for watching and have a great 4th, to you as well!
Quite surprised that Mercedes lets those 300 SL copies come to a "Cars & Coffee " kind of event that's either officially organized and or semi officially tolerated at their SoCal classic center. I thought they relatively aggressively go after any 300 SL copies and have them destroyed due to having the sole rights to the chassis?
I’ve never heard that - but this was a local MB car club that put it on. It wasn’t an officially sanctioned event by the classic center. Although, it was definitely in their parking lot(?). Not sure, but I can tell you it was an AMAZING event! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Some nice rides 🙏🏼
Oh for sure… so many beautiful cars. Thank you for watching, cheers!
Did you say light car?!? Lol it weighs more than the 90 corvette by several hundred pounds and was never intended to be sports car. It was meant to bridge the gap between young and old and be the halo model of buick.
Agreed! But because it wasn’t a performance car, young folks weren’t interested and because it wasn’t big and grand, old folks weren’t either. Such a shame…but I still love them! Thank you and cheers!
Next to the SEC, this is my favorite model, timeless beauty .
You and me both! Someday I have to have an SEC! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
@@thecarglutton8672 yes, doesn't matter if it's a 380 or a 560, sec is sec boss.

@@thecarglutton8672 couldn’t make it through the whole thing it was so drab
@@marcmenton8063 great! Keep them coming, I appreciate all comments! Thank you again and cheers!
It was a very sexy commercial for the time(1964). I saw a commercial for Tab soda in 1964 when I was 6 and 7, which was almost as sexy.
Out of all the commercials we have posted, this one gets the most love. So I guess a lot of folks agree with you! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
When cars were works of art. 👍
Amen to that! Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Given your stated intent to fuck it up by lowerin it, and spoiling it I'd agree. You have no business owning the car.
Your anger, much like your punctuation, seems misplaced. Thanks for watching and commenting, all the same! Cheers!
@@thecarglutton8672 Obviously we disagree. It's yours to do with as you wish, of course. However as it appears for most people it seems to be the fashion to cheer on the practive of defacing classic cars like this I figure I'll be the dissenting voice. You are not a better designer than Bruno Sacco and anything you do to it will lessen it in the eyes of the discerning.
I remember this commercial! Also, awesome car. Thanks for posting. 👍
These were cool little cars for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Την εχω ακριβως το ιδιο χρωμα ειναι σαν να βγηκε τωρα απο το εργοστασιο την αγαπω δεν θα την πουλησω ποτε,την βγαζω μια φορα στους δυο περιπου μηνες εξω και παλι στο γκαραζ για να την θαυμαζω πινοντας καφε.
That’s amazing! These are really beautiful cars. I agree - I like to admire mine as well 😂. I can’t wait to share it again when I have everything done. Thank you for watching and commenting!
My friend i love her she is my great love,i take her out only if it is not raining and i clean her when i come back None has ever sit on her back seat only on the front seat beautifull women. I wish you to have the best of health and allways having fun with her.Have a nice evening my friend
got the same car with navy blue color this thing is so fun to drive. put 18inch 430 wheels it will look so good
I bet it looks great! I put the new wheels on - just need to do an update video when I have a few more things done. I am definitely enjoying this thing! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Have one myself, the 320, they are beautiful machines. Always loved the blue ones. Such a sick color. Take care of it and it will take care of you. I’m up to 240,000 miles on mine, still runs better than 1/2 the crap on the road. Maintenance maintenance maintenance Good luck Brother!!
Agree on all accounts! Thank you for watching and for your comment. Cheers!
A beautiful car, wising you many happy motoring miles. What a great find!
Thank you! So excited to have 208 CLK finally! Other than another 300 CE to replace my totaled one, this car has been on my list the longest. Thank you for watching and commenting - Cheers!
Thank you for this! Im surprised the tail lights were not covered with plastic paper and still didnt catch the paint!
Normally, Papa does tape off the lights (or whatever he isn't trying to spray lol). He must have been in a hurry or gotten nervous because I was following him with a camera 😂 . Thank you for watching!
Congratulations on a beautiful car, the color combination is rare and only 95 were made Maui Blue with the Slate interior in 1990. The kick is that only 26 were made in 1990 in that color combination with factor sun roof. Why do I know that… I have one of the other 25 ever made. It is an awesome car, I bought mine one year old and garaged it for 25 years. Mine just turned over to 60,000 miles and I take it to shows only these days. I hope you decided to keep it as I can’t imagine ever selling it.
The color is absolutely the star of This car, you’re right! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
What brand rims do you have on your truck?
They are ION 17x9’s. Decent price and I think they look great! Thanks for t watching… cheers!
great car man, what kind of fuel do you put in it? thank you
Premium unleaded is what Mercedes always recommends. I live in CA, so 91 octane is usually the best I can get. But other states you can get 93 or more even. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
@@thecarglutton8672 premium gas in my country contains up to 10% bioethanol, would it be safe to use since I daily the car 3-4x a week? thank you
White and mint green would be great with fender skirts red rims with big white walls would look great thank you for posting ❤❤ oh baby moons and beauty rings ?
You have great taste in restoration! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful truck ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely agree! Johnny has done an amazing job on this one… thank you for watching - cheers!!
Love the 60 Chevy Apache with the cat eyes ?❤❤❤❤
Love these trucks!
Me too, my Friend! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Why is the water pump connected to the thermostat plug in the intake manifold?
I’ve always liked the Maui blue. I’ve got an ‘88 I literally did a video of within 10 days of yours. Yours is in that sweet spot of nice but not too nice where you don’t want to drive it. Amazing how many of them out there are just beat to crap.
Also I happened to do a video on replacing (well re-adding) my A/C. These are not good cars to not have AC that’s for sure.
That’s an awesome point about the sweet spot between nice and too nice… in most cases I don’t have the $$$ to deal in the museum quality, barely driven, jackpot deals. But the upside to that is I’ve been less guilty about driving and enjoying the cars. I truly think that’s the only kind of collector I’d ever like to be. Thanks for watching and for the comment. I’m stoked to check out your video as well! Cheers!
Bro where did you get them ?? I need them asap 😮

Apache 10👍 The Apache truck was made from 1958 to 1961.The double headlight years. 1960-1961 and 1962 Had a X Box frame that was made with torsion bar suspension Hydraulic clutch. Gave it a car like ride for the first time ever on a truck. However the patent owned by some other company. 1963 they made the famous ladder frame and front sping A arm front suspension. They are rare and unique in their own way. Cool truck 👍
Great info! Thank you for watching and for your input. That’s awesome!
I love it. I have a 1988 that is red with tan interior.
That’s great! These are amazing cars! Thanks for watching and commenting!
It would be fairer to say that the Eliminator was the Cougar equivalent to the Mustang Mach 1, not the Boss 302.
That’s a fair point! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Might buy a 1989 300ce as well, it’s white with brown leather interior, pretty excited I just hope it checks out for what it was listed as
Did you end up buying the 300 CE??? I sure hope so. I miss mine every day. Wait till you see what I have now - video should be up on Monday! Thank you for watching!
The aftermarket wheels kill the vehicle stone dead..
Well I had aftermarket wheels for it alright, but it was another driver not paying attention that killed my poor 300 stone dead! 😭😱😅 Lots of people agree with you though and they like them more stock/traditional. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Cheers!
Cool cat. I have a 71 xr7 429cj here in Australia and love it. I have a couple of videos on my channel
Ooooh Cobra Jet - That’s awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers!
These were not born simple and were very expensive new.
Agreed! Thank you for watching!
Imagine if Studebaker had asked for a "Bailout" from the Gov't...Like GM and CHRYSLER and FORD, and the Banks, what wonderful designs and engine they could have made? What would they be like TODAY?
Great point! I would love to see how the designers would have evolved these cars. These were really just jewelry you could drive! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
If that was my truck….I’d look for a v-8 hood emblem for it. 😏 Careful, though….people steal them.
Haha #truth! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
love the gauge cluster, if i had the extra funds i would purchase that off of you, whoever gets it is lucky
Oh, how right you are. Sitting in that thing was like a time capsule. Absolutely loved driving that car! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
Those are one of the coolest Buicks built
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for watching. Cheers!
nice blue color, i might be mistaken but i think the reatta was a little ahead of its time with technology
You’re absolutely right! The Reatta and even the Riviera had a lot of really cool tech that was way ahead of the time. I mean, touch screen controls in the 80’s?!?! That’s nuts! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@thecarglutton8672 absolutly, found your first on tik tok and you pointed to your youtube love your content
Do you know if anyone has that kit for sale.
Enjoy!👍 I picked up a 95 STS with 111,000 miles for $1300 in July of 2021. Not what I was looking for, but the used car market was going apeshit, price wise. I've grown to really like the car. Gas is painful around town with about 12-14mpg. (My right foot does Not help!😁) Average between 21 and 22+ on the freeway. Currently have about 120,000 miles and pray that it doesn't have the head bolt issue! 🙏 It's Black on Black with Black interior. Need to repair the top surfaces clear coat eventually. Like most higher mileage Northstar engines, it does burn a bit of oil between oil changes, but Not like a BMW M3! No visible smoke! 👍 When you open it up, and get the variable cam timing kicking in, it makes a Wonderful sound from the engine singing! 🥰 Good luck on your journey! Mike in San Diego. 🌞🎸🚀🖖
How is your STS adventure going? Black on Black - I bet that thing looks gorgeous! I doubt very much this will be the last Caddy that comes through my garage. Thank you for watching!
Nice! I like the Blue paint! I have a 95 STS, in Black with Black interior. Just turned over 120,000 miles. Great cars!👍 Enjoy! I'll like it even more when the gas prices come back down to reality!😁
😂hilarious
Good one, right?! 🤣
