My Pops also worked at Skunkworks under Ben Rich; he was great at teaching me math; but couldn't repair jack. Just imagine, all the data on the YF12 & SR71 was on huge reels of magnetic tape. I went on to be a gear-head/auto tech and I have to say, this is a terrible waste of an original 6.3 car when 3.0 and 4.5 cars are plentiful.

Fresh out of the Air Force in 1980, I landed a job at a Mercedes-only repair shop in California. My first job was putting a transmission and rear brakes under the boss's 6.3. The subsequent road test yielded triple-digit speeds on the old Embarcadero freeway. I absolutely love what you've done with this. The only caveat is that I wish you'd started with a 6-cylinder car.

A few errors in the intro. W109s were made from 1966. The 6.3 version came out in 68. Erich Waxenberger built a personal car using an M-100 engine in a W112 300SE coupe chassis. Perhaps the biggest error is the claim that the 6.3 was only sold in North America. That's nonsense. The 6.3 was sold worldwide from day one. Of the 6,526 built, only 1,839 were sold in the USA. The biggest single market was Germany. A large number of right hand drive 6.3s were also built for countries like the UK, Japan, Australia, and South Africa. The easiest way to tell a North American market car from the rest of the world, is the rear license plate lighting setup. Non North America cars used a single light set into the top of the rear bumper, rather than two lights flanking the plate in the bodywork. The thing about having all four lights on when using the high beams is just the standard US four lamp headlight setup at the time. There was a 5006 dual filament sealed beam in the upper position for both high and low beam, and a 5001 single filament sealed beam in the lower position as a supplemental high beam. All four lights are on when the high beams are selected. Radio options varied by country. The Becker Mexico cassette wasn't available until 1971, towards the tail end of production. Most US cars were fitted with a four band Becker Grand Prix with self seek automatic tuning. The wood choice depended on the interior color. Blue interiors had a straight grained French Walnut. Other interior colors had either Macassar Ebony like this car, or Walnut Burl. Contrary to many comments here, Zebrano wood was never used in a 6.3. Things like AC and rear reading lights were standard on US cars, but often optional in other countries. The only options in the US were a sunroof, fitted luggage, and a rear window defroster. Velour seating was a no cost option. Things like picnic tables or rear curtains were strictly custom special order items.

We estimate that there are now fewer than 200 drivable and registered 6.3s left on the planet, make that 199 after this project. You tossed out all of the parts that make a W109 and a 6.3 unique, M100 engine, air suspension etc, so you could have just as easily started with a W108, and created exactly the same car.

Really? In Europe, good restorable 6.3s are very hard to find because of rust issues. So, cutting up a very solid 6.3 to put a chassis(!) underneath it should be illegal. Installing a GM engine instead of the sublime M100 and replacing the super engineerd airsuspension by a coil setup...I guess it's an American thing. This I know : for the money and effort spent here, an original 6.3 with mild power increase could have been build, and on top of that, it could runs circles around this hybrid. I normally like the Icon Derilicts and have been watching the channel for years but this one is a sacriledge to Waxenbergers masterpiece. I'm afraid the owner will grow tired of it very quickly, as has happened with the Derilict Rolls.

I'm only a lotto win away from taking you to lunch and discussing what I would like to do. Love all the Icon models but especially the derelicts. the "build it as though you were keeping it" would be a must. love your passion!

Impresionado como siempre con los trabajos que realizan tu y tu equipo, la manera en cómo describes todo el detalle que realizan hacen que uno se apasione más por tus proyectos. Felicidades y saludos desde ciudad Juárez Chihuahua México

That is awesome. The wheel and tire combo gives it away.

Man, I’m in aw with so many of your one offs that it’s making me bananas. Derelict projects are many of the ones I appreciate the most. Wish soon someone will want a 1972 or 1973 Imperial coupe do do over with a Hellcat supercharged engine. Hope you get to keep working for many more years in your “happy place”.... Looking forward to your next video.
