There's really something special about those old Mercs.

Mike. Whoohoo. The best duo on your channel.

You and Mike make a great team. And the fact he's not dropping the F BOMB all the time is pretty cool too. Great video my friend!!!

My cousin was a yard manager at a salvage yard and he found a Christine, looked exactly the same. I swear it was posseesed. Radio would just start playing out of nowhere with the key off.

I can’t see a Plymouth Fury without thinking of Christine

That first Mercedes is a nice looking cart. I'd like to see more content on this one.

That MGB was one of my dream cars when I was young.

I'd buy that SL

Biodegradable wiring harnesses... That's true dedication to planned obsolescence. 🙄

You know which cars do really smell like Crayons? Mk4 Jettas. When the plastics stall degrading, they start to smell like a box of crayons in a sunny day inside a locked car.

Love the content as always keep up the great job

The MGB looks like it may a rebuild engine. I would bid on it could be fun.

I can't believe the MG owner allowed his car to be salvaged for that little bit of damage.

Thanks for sharing your business and life with us ! I have been following you before you was so thrilled about renting the $300 a month shop that flooded all the time lol. I would love to see an older Corvette too . .

Great walk-around Randy!!!

Some Toyota’s have a safety feature when the battery gets unhooked the first crank it dies then the second crank it will stay on.

Get the sl it’s beautiful

Love how you’ll feature British cars Randy 👏🏽

I love the mg... My brother in law and I rebuilt one back in the 90s

The Mercedes smell comes from the seat padding / stuffing made out of horse hair. No joke.

Put some Deet on before you go to CoPart to prevent getting bit.

Stay hydrated Randy it’s hot as balls out there I almost died two days in a row whilst I was uptown

On the SL's of that time, there was the 500 (for the V8s) and the 600 (with a V12). Also, those hoses you were wondering about towards the front of the car are likely the washer hose for the headlight wiper.

I bought a hoodie just now Randy....now someone has bought your merch! Lol

MWM is one of my favorites!

Awesome that the top of you are working together

Using the beeper over naughty words is a nice touch. You don't want to sound like TK.

MB - certain year models and sales markets (California & NY) had a smog pump with a clutch on it. The whole thought behind it was that on a cold start to pump a bunch of air down into the cat. convertor to heat it up and burn off whatever pollutants.

Best part of the video. "Taking forever to go from drive to reverse." Uh, Randy, you have it Neutral..." The Mercedes revving when you slam the trunk. It might be a descendant of "The Car" For those too young, it is a movie about a car that terrorizes James Brolin.

Great team work

I like the content Randy,

Thumbs up and thanks for sharing this copart walk around. You need to brake the new shop in. ( break)

I liked that Randy looking at an MG. Where's the a/c? Haha.

I like your new hat Randy 👍🏻

That MGB roadster isn't bad at all, and would make a fun weekend or winter project. Its engine is an 1800cc BMC 'B' Series four cylinder, by the way.

Randy, you have Christine's cousin. Her sister wold be a Plymouth, as I have. I have always called my 1963 Fury her little sister, not because they were both Plymouths, but from experiences I had with her back in the '80's.

The MG is an MGB - engine 1.8L, about 95bhp. The MGB GT (coupe version) could be purchased with a 3.5L V8 but that version (oddly) was not marketed in the US.

Thats a nice SL

Guys on that MGB its a BMC 'B' Series engine (hence the name) and they were all 1800cc. It also had a Zenith Stromberg (Federal) carburettor so doesn't pump fuel like a Webber or other fixed choke carburettors. Non Federal cars had twin SU carbs. So pumping the throttle pedal doesn't make any difference. It needs a choke to start. Earlier 'Bs' had two 6 volt batteries in series but a 1980 would have just had the one 12 volt you found. Always double check when jump staring a 'B'! Most non starting is down to Mr Lucas. Oh and Randy they did build an MGB V8 with a 3.5 litre engine that was developed by Rover from one originally used in the unibody GM 1961-1963 A-body platform Buick Special/Skylark and Oldsmobile F-85 and 1961-1962 Pontiac Tempest. The MGB GT V8 was sadly never exported to the USA though. There was also an MGC which was a straight 6 cylinder 2.9 litre.

Randy, the MGB has a 1798cc B series engine and the colour does look original

Earlt! Thanks for the content!++

It christine as Mercedes 😂

Just sub im a fan of rebuilding and i love your video even though your from other side of the world 👍

I had a Opel and it smelled like a VW beetles,but it was the stuffing in the seats.

Like the clean Buick.

Have a great day Randy

That's why the MGB was considered a 'hairdresser's car' in its home market, because of the small engine that didn't match the sporty looks. The rubber bumpers were a US safety mandated thing - the British ones got nice chrome ones. Most of our cars are rotten though whole new bodyshells are available. The Midget was indeed even smaller, based on a Mini floorplan / running gear and with the same 900 and 1275cc 4-cyls.

I know the exact smell you are talking about Randy. It smells more like Crayon? I think the glue they use on the interior parts may be the one. I have been in a merc with cloth seats and it has the same smell which is very nice.

After seeing the video with the Austin Healey, it seems like OKC is a British sports car mecca.

That corolla is sweet

Randy that Toyota is the sporty one It's called XRS it has the 2zzfeGE because it says duel VVT-I or it could be a 2zzfe

What if we just stopped walking until randy posts a video rebuilding a car lol I'm only joking randy

The 1993 500SL is more than likely a California car with the smog pump, no rust in the engine bay and all the USC Trojan stickers and floor mats.

Randy's gonna have to give up the Night Owl life. Lol

I love your merch

Hey I live in the Bahamas...I love that brand of Honda can u do quick preview of it please????

That black Mercedes came from Texas it has a blue inspection sticker on the windshield

The bio degrading wire are only in the 600sl if I’m not mistaken. The 500 is fine

I won the Buick tonight now just waiting on the seller to response to counter bid or accept the bid

I love CHRISTINE. 58 Plymouth. My dad had a 57 Plymouth when I arrived in 1959

Probably no fuel in the MG, as the needle didn't move when you turned the key on or off.

That Mercedes is ultimate mafia car...

The white one beside the Toyota is your next purchase :D

The Mercedes looks nice hope there’s no hidden problems! This Buick hmm not sure. Wow mgb my dad had a triumph spitfire. Like the Toyota

I love those wheels on that Mercedes I think they should have been offset with a lip seventeen's by 9s in the front 19 x 10 in a 1/2 in the rear rims wheels with some rubber bands Z rated tires on them

Mercedes was so ahead of time with that SL design. Slap some DRL's and laser headlights, LED Sequential taillights and tune up the engine management system and she would look fine in a Mercedes dealership now.

Wait, I have several of your shirts, Randy!

I love buicks, That Buick is obviously a project car,, for the new owner,,, :-)

Mike needs bug repellent lol 😂 they seem to love ❤️ him, shame the little MG wouldn't start, very cool 😎 little cars

“Do the go make it run”

I see a 1966 Plymouth near the orange Corolla.

That's normal for toyotas when the battery ever gets disconnected they die after the first start

Keep it up

Hope you get the corolla and the benz for a good price

I like the Buick 😀

The MG is an 1800cc and the choke was right in front of your face. It was on the dash to the left of the steering wheel and you thought it was a light switch pull.

Monkey Wrench Mike - we love you here down in South Africa bro! Also Randy. But hey buddy, the ZAR to the USD is pooped.

i like the corolla

Buy it

Randy, please buy that SL500. Thank you!!

"What the hell could kill a battery in one of these? It doesn't have any options!" "Randy! Look right here!" (points at the battery behind the passenger's seat) OMG... I about died laughing... absolutely perfect.

MG actualy did a V8 .3,5 rover was a amall block buick motor

Did you try the choke on the MG

I would take that orange corolla with no problem

Bemers have their own smell also Randy

Randy my friend, when did they allow you to start jumpstarting vehicles? for the longest time you couldnt.

Either the fuel gauge is not working or it's out of gas.

MG in the '60s had a choice of two engines of the same weight and both fitted well. One was the powerful ultra-modern Rover 3.5 litre all-alloy V8 or an agricultural all iron 4 banger. Guess which one they chose. 15 years later they finally put the Rover V8 into the less popular GT coupe rather than the ever-popular convertible. How did the British car industry fail?

Only problem I had with Toyota, my 2005 Toyota Camry went through heater/ A.C. fan motor. I never owned a car that needed that replaced. Odd.
