As a owner of a 1975 Mercedes Benz 450 SLC in original condition and my everyday driving one at that. I am absolutely blown away by this conversion. It is brilliantly done! Sounds so AMAZING!!! I am 70 years old and work on my own, but I would love to own a second one like this too. There's a young lad in all of us... The photography and video are done in a truly Professional manner, what I love the most is that it was not scripted and came across with passion. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this!

It's quite typical for us Asian. Junkyard brakes like these are pretty cheap. Many asian shops can machine the brackets, rotor hats to fit any car you want.

This is one of the coolest builds I've seen in a while, super fucking clean.

Larry you've been hitting it out of the park with all of this Japan content.

Super OG build. Gets squirrelly on a roll shows massive power . Awesome sleeper.

His breaks alone are worth more then some cars, let alone the one off custom wheels, tons of fab work, and electrical work and the insane engine swap, damn. When I see builds like this I can't help but think of need for speed. Taking a base model, upgrading each piece until you end up with max style, and power.

I LOVE this build. So low key and classic and still ripping the streets up!! Nicely done. Makes me want to get an R129..

It's a great build. But I'd get the r129, it's more of my style.

I love the build. A clean older chassis with tasteful mods that require a closer look. A true sleeper build.... That chassis was also available with an inline 6. The custom offset AMG styled replica wheels set it off plus the AMG steering wheel.😮

Sick build. You have to have a vision to keep it that stock with everything functional.

I want to see that 500SEL that he's going to build so much 🤩

Masaki such a cool dude

My father had a 450SLC from new...Metallic Green, Even had sheepskin seats. As a young boy, that car was just an awesome experience to sit in....my dads had M3s and M5s since....but they never came close to the sheer build,power and class of the 450SLC. It barely fit in our double garage at an angle. Must have one of the longest bonnets in automotive history. Beauty and the beast. At the time...this was the flagship car in the Merc range.....love that these guys have taken the SLC to a different level.

i was thinking the engine swap was crazy but then he starts talking about the breaks ... ferrari breaks f40 up front and f430 in the rear . mind blown !

I’m in love with this sleeper build, vary creative it’s a work of art.

Love these builds…building a functional fun swap. Sure it may hurt the heart of a MB purist, but puts a smile on the face of the owner…and many of us treated to this video.

I hit the like button before I even watched the video. Awesome build. Thanks, Larry, for featuring this car.

The sound.. is absolutely fandamntasticly eargasmicaly amazing.

Real street kings. The crew I run with in Tokyo. Thank you Larry

Gotta love a good photo. You are the best Larry Chen!! This thing is off the chain

Love this entire build and had to get the wheels for my own 450SLC. No engine swap for me but the HWA Asteroid wheels made a big difference in the overall look that I am extremely pleased with for my 1979 450SLC. Search for "450SLC ryson" to see the big change from OEM bundt wheels to these HWA Asteroid wheels. Thanks Larry for highlighting this build!

What an awesome and unique build!

even making those gauges work is a mammoth task... and the A/C... and the shifter!... this is amazing

Japanese car enthusiasts are next level. We always see the most incredible builds in Japan, and this ImHO is a perfect example. I follow the owner on IG and am in total love with this build. The fact he kept everything as close to stock looking as possible, yet made custom parts to enhance the vehicle in an “AMG-esq” way is simply incredible. Those wheels are gorgeous. And so is the interior…he left perfection alone which I give high praise, right down to the stock tape deck. So happy to see this vehicle featured. 11/10 Build for me 👌I hope his S class wagon will be featured as well, it looks SO DAMN Gorgeous too!

I would like to watch that W126 build!. This guys mind is mind blowing to put that motor and Ferrari breaks 😮😮

SOOO GOOOOOD, I have always wanted to do something like this, except i want mine a little more race car but omg thank you for featuring!

Biggest smile on my face and even a tear in my eye. Love this. Love the madness. Love the culture.

Thanks for finding this guy, Larry. I read a blog on this car a year or two ago, but there was no video at all...big shoutout from South Africa

Loved this car Larry keep them coming.

I've been following the HWA Asteroids guy for a while, such clean builds. Love the 2JZ swap.

I love how cleanly these guys speak, English Japanese just sounds good. Nice Mercedes! That thing looks and sounds amazing

Good Video. Thank You Larry Chen.

this is actually my dream built, or close to it at least. I'm working on a 1989 sec and swapping a 2jz in it as well! this build gave me a lot of insight and possible variations I can do. My car isn't as clean as this, but hopefully it will be one day! I'm in love with this build.

Hey man! I’m literally 2jz swapping my 560sec right now, how’s yours going?

Masa is cool dude really I remember him and Albo test riding this car last year

Insane build. Bless this man.

very nice build this is probably the most interesting creations ive seen in a while.

One of my "if I ever run across a cheap rolling shell" plans ive got on the back burner is doing this swap to the convertible version of this car. JZ powered 280-500SL R107 :)

Nippon is Awesome..a 450 is NOT supposed to run like that !!!...but..I am glad there is one that does!!!

GREAT VIDEO LARRY!!!!! A TOTALLY AWESOME BUILD AND A TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!!!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!

Saw this car on Albo's channel. It's so cool. Nice to see a feature on it.

Insane levels of workmanship.

Larry + Masa = JDM gold 😎

The better swap i ve ever seen and this guy is so cool ! Am gonna buy an old 450 or 500 slc and find somebody to to that kind of swap !

Incredible build.

I'm a Mercedes guy and not gonna lie, but this is neat af. I approve

It doesn't get much better than this 😊❤

as somebody who converted from jdm to dtm this is easily one of my top 3 faves in existence

Cool video guys, never would believe that Supra engine fits into this classic Mercedes. Great work

I absolutely love this Merc. Dream build.

Magnificent taste Sir... iWould've had similar combos. I've driven the 5.5L AMG 5spd, black w-black.

And now I want one! Thx Larry

This is SICK, I love it!!!

Really fun people and a great car. Thanks Larry.

thats the coolest mercedes build ive ever seen. i want one so bad.

Absolutely loving all the Japan content! 🔥 Hope to go there later this year if I can make sense of it financially 😅

So nice see Masa here :D Love this car :)

This is one awesome Merc.

One of my dream swaps !

Pretty clean, love the build, got an mercedes 190e from 89, would love to do an engine swap when it blows but the original 4 cilinders are pretyy though

Excellent feature of the MB swapped with a Toyota 2JZ.

PURE AWESOMENESS ! 🏆

This is iconic.

Sick build

I want. Great looking car, awesome swap.

Maaaad respect…timeless classic

beautiful and classy interior

That’s so clean seriously cool build.

Lovely, I've been waiting to see a J-Swap on a Porsche 944. Seems like a great candidate for a swap like this.

Loving all the Japan content!

Those HWA Asteroid rims are the bomb man, shoulda checked out his 190E build

So sick! Please add a 280SLC emblem on the trunk

That's a cool sleeper no doubt. You hear a 2JZ pulling up behind you and expecting a Supra, only to see an old grandma Merc wagon flies past you!!!! Pretty cool.

back in the 70s/80s the SLC was more of a pimp car than anything else, atleast here in Europe. Its also a 2 seater convertible/hardtop not a wagon

I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY DRIFTING FAMILY!!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Clean build.

masa is on every single you tubers video. Now he conquers Larry Chen's channel lol

More videos with Masa!!!

build quality is nuts

The car is a masterpiece

Amazing i own a very clean one and i applaud him and you for sharing

What an incredible build

Superbe, merci pour la vidéo.

Larry you should revisit the Plymouth Scamp you shot with us and do a video of it. It has changed hands and it now resides in Garden grove.

7mgte in Japan!! Wow!! How does one aquire F40 breaks?!?! Amazing build...

Beautiful build , F40 brakes omg such a refreshing video I’m so sick of Hell Cats, Lambos, C8 Vettes and Anything powered by a Ls motor please keep the fresh videos coming

Bmw or mercedes with an f22c motor is what you want.

I had a 79 450SL Diamond Jubilee edition with 12k original miles. Wanted to LS swap it so bad but my dad ended up selling it for $3k like an idiot. The guy that bought it turned around and sold it again for $35k to a collector…

dude made his own wheels to his liking, enough said lol. badass build

This Mercedes Slc is very special

Am very impressed. What a car

awesome car, brilliant sleeper.

This is a dream car.

What an awesome car!

Sweet build. 😮

Brace for all the price hikes on these puppies. Super sick build

That motor is nice but hose wheels and brakes are freaking awesome!!!!

Japanese customizers have real good taste in everything they do…I’ve seen some beautiful Harley’s…some vintage Hondas…and now this!
