  • Static 1969 Mercedes. NH to Nashville photo album

    In case the title was misleading, I didn't drive her from NH to Nashville when I moved.
    this is pretty much a photo dump of the Benz from both the move down to Tennessee and recent pictures since she's been on the road here in the south.

    this is my static 1969 Mercedes 280s
    23k original miles, 3spd auto, and tops out at a blistering 45-50mph.



    between the years I've owned lowered vehicles, and 30+ years of owning a towing company, my father has a system for getting low vehicles onto the trailer.



    trucking across upstate New York...



    typical pics at the pump







    cruising with the boys, Brennan's bug is awesome






    comfortably rolling four deep at the drive-in (ok ok it's just Sonic). had to get out to reach the order button :/




    she spent her first night in Tennessee at Hunter's house next to Nashville's well known static w115. reunited sisters




    another iphone shot on Broadway




    Cory C-Hutch at the helm piloting with Hunter Hayes.





    some shots my buddy Mitch Powell took on Broadway while Brennan, Mitch and I were cruising around...








    we decided it was a good idea to drive up onto the sidewalk of the Nashville court house and take a few photos, luckily the officer who watched me barrel down off the curb back into traffic like the car and let us go about our business.




    then we decided it was yet another good idea to drive down the sidewalk up to the Parthenon to get some Greek shots.










    more to come Im sure while we're out on our weekly adventure time!

                    this thing is fucking badass dude. So you're in Tennessee now right? Is this car going to be at sowo? I would love to see it in person. Also my parents first mercedes back in the day was a 1968 280S with a 4 speed auto and factory dual carbs and they say theirs would get close to 100mph, any reason why yours tops out at 60? or were you just exaggerating?

                            Thanks Matt! Let's seriously start building a matching bobber for the Benz, mega low, mega ratty. I'll definitely come out to VA.

                            Thanks a lot man! and yes, the plan is to drag it to sowo! Hopefully she makes it there and back without any issues.
                            and she'll probably go faster than 60, but the motor is absolutely screaming at 55 on the hwy. she doesn't shake or feel like she's going to come apart or anything, but I'm just nervous to push her to the limit.
