Though it might not seem like it sometimes, you don’t need a crazy amount of money. Or much money at all. Our buddy Bryce can attest to that; especially when it got so much attention on Larry’s IG page among all the usual high-end machinery that usually resides there. What’s better than flogging an ‘82 diesel Mercedes in the desert, especially when the whole thing costs less than a wild night out in Vegas.

Skeeter McSwagger
Why would anybody do that to a car? It's full size underpowered 4 door car that weighs over 4000 pounds!!!
Next thing you know they're gonna be people doing that with ex police cars and putting guns and armor and all kinds of random dangerous sharp and rusty accessories all over the outside. STUPID THINGS PEôPĺę ŁoVe!¡¿? 🛡 🚓💨

Cool lil gambler ride

Yes mercedes did o lot off rallies in the 1970,
TheCptnOf Fail
This is hideous, a disgrace to cars, a rolling wreck. The paint is ugly, stickers are tacky, it's chopped up and fixed with a hammer and revs like a forklift.
And I can't stop smiling and thinking "my car could be like this."
rrs
This is almost a copy of Jeremy Clarkson's Mercedes monster truck.
I mean this as the best compliment ever!
Always thought mercs from this era begged to be turned into something offroad\ rat style.

idiot in SLAVE MASK on fresh air??????? damn IDIOCRACY.

the more i look at it the more sex it becomes. this car is sex

God I cant stand Chen.

that would be bonkers if they ended swapping a om606 or om605 with a hx50 pulling them 550+ ponies

London to Sydney kind of rally! I think a couple of other endurance rallies also, but nothing serial, from the factory, lest you count the story of the 190e Evo.
luchadorito
Every post-apocalyptic movie features camo-clad dorks shooting at eachother when in reality If a situation like that ever occurs you will need people who know farming/botany, doctors and one dude who knows how to wrench on old diesel Mercs cause these things will last until the four horsemen’s horses pass of old age!
steven livingston
That thing is DOPE!!! Dude needs to bulk up his budget and LS swap the living shit out of that car.
Adrian G
My mom had one of those. They're solid..
Gainesy
That is my kinda car.... Would love to do a build like this. Dunno if the uk laws would allow it on the road though 🤔

Love such insanity. If only more countries had this free and easy way to live life. Think not one country in Europe you are allowed to mod your car anywhere near to this level. And less than 800.-? A steal! Have a ton of fun!

Yes ilL, I'm building an 85' 300SD same car but mad serviced...🕶️🧤😷🔧🌎✨🏆✨

I have the same car with a window sticker of $37,xxx in 1984. I pad $400 for mine and I'm currently manual trans swapping it. It's got a home built 2 stage propane injection kit and a turned up injection pump. I love it.

I doubt this is Euro5 compliant

Love it !! 😍 Kind of reminds me of my old Corgi Mercedes 240D Euro Rally (https://www.chezbois.com/corgi/1982/Model_291.htm)
Leo Luzuriaga
Good stuff!
Chase Brunner
I Always Wanted To Get The 300SD Turbo Diesel Or Turbo Diesel Jetta They Are Both Really Nice Old Diesel Cars
Philonious
In the 70s/80s A few world rallies Mercedes entered and won 1-2: The London-Sydney Marathon - a 19,000 mile car killer, and the Around The Americas, another 19,000 mile on and offroad bash through 10 not-always-developed countries. They entered C107s and W123 coupes. A decade before that Swedish rally girls Ewy Rosqvist and Ursula Wirth were winning and setting new records with their W111. A decade before that it was the Carrera Panamericana in Mexico with a W194. I know I'm missing a bunch, but MB has a long history of bashing rough ground .
Friendly Piranha
Philonious, so glad you mentioned these. I shall just add the 1959 Algiers to Cape Town Rally won by Carl Kling and Rainer Günzler in a Ponton 190 D. See: mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com/marsClassic/en/instance/picture/Afrika-Rallye-Mditerrane-Le-Cap1959.xhtml?oid=106054 PS: For many years I lived in one of those houses in the background of the above photo.
O'Brian Jones
Good Stuff!! What's the song at the end?

Mercedes has dipped their feet into rallying (With Walther Röhrl even), but they have been in Dakar for decades with the G-Wagon and the Unimog.
Potatoes and Trucks
That OM617 is bulletproof and has power potential. Slap a used turbo on it, tweak the fuel pump to inject more fuel and you can easily make 300HP
draggonhedd
Mercedes WAS in rally! Look up the Mercedes Red Pig
Hookemups
thats an awesome build.. hope sponsors jump on board for them
Paul Cunningham
My neighbour just put a for sale sign on his 80's awd 123 Wagon.... Now I have no choice but to start my next project....... No choice....
Marek Juraszek
love it. I am so into mad max-style machinery
jimmy vahviala
bigger pump, more booost!... the upgraded pump will cost more then the build tho
Rob S
Great vid. Refreshingly different 😂👍
mutsa ushewokunze
I was gonna say, "How dare they do this...!!!!, W126, this is sacrilege" However part of me is now saying, I want one
Jordan Segall
Mf 617 does not make less than 100hp tho. The 616 from the 240D for sure only makes like 70/80hp but the 300SD w turbo does like 120hp stock easily
Jordan Segall
Long live the 300SD
