If your not subscribed “blud what are you doin SUB!!!”

I never understood the gas got too expensive and the gas mileage too bad to keep. I kept my 70 Dodge Challenger 340 and my 70 GTX 440-6 to this day. Mind you I drove the Challenger more. Weekly drive it still. Monthly drive the GTX still. I also bought other cars later. An 88 Conquest TSI. And a 91 Stealth R/T that is now a fwd TT car. Also a 09 Challenger R/T with the STP package. Mike had a lot better job and I would presume more money. It’s just how you spend your dollars. I raised two boys as a single dad and the cars are our connection through out the years. It kept us close. My grand kids are car collectors too. Just miniature scale. Good luck on finding that Camaro I do know how it is for your first car to get away.

Loved the conversation with a legend. Hope the crew can find this illusive bowtie!!

I believe those are Prime 227 wheels. A knockoff of the Centerline.

Wow, this was a great interview. Would love to Meet Mr. Joy . Maybe one day soon I will be joy riding in my high-school truck. Great job Wes.

Mr. Joy's timing seems off. He said he moved to Florida in 1978 and then drove a VW for two years which would take him to 1980. By 1980, there was no new Capri II. By 1980, the Capri would have been a Fox body platform vehicle, having been first introduced in 1979 along with the Mustang on the Fox platform. There was a Capri II from 1976-1978. The John Capri II Player edition was called the Capri II S in the United States and would have been a 1976-1977 model. The correct name for the 1978 model shown is code 22 Dark Blue. Automatic Camaros in 1978 could have a 2.41, 3.08 or 3.42 when paired with a 350 V8 and the four speed cars could have had a 3.08 or a 3.73 when paired with a 350 V8. California destined Z-28 350 V8s in 1978 appear to have been all equipped with automatic transmissions. While Chevrolet was sitting on their keisters during the 2nd generation F body (including dropping the Z-28 for a time), Pontiac improved their vehicles, offering the WS6 handling package and in 1979, added four wheel disc brakes to it, something Chevrolet did not offer in their F-body. The VIN was not provided, so no VIN, can't win, but easy enough to figure out: 1 for Chevrolet, Q for Camaro Sport coupe, 87 for two door coupe, L for 350 CID V8 with four barrel, Chevrolet produced, RPO code "LM1", 8 for 1978 model year, N for Norwood, OH or L for Van Nuys, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Norwood, OH plant closed in August 1987 and the Van Nuys, CA plant closed in 1992. My guess would be his vehicle was a Norwood, OH assembled vehicle. Not much of a BJ fan. I saw a "restored" 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Y88 Gold SE car come across the block and it was terribly restored and the money it went for was insane. I think BJ has helped out price the little guy out of the hobby because everyone that has something in their yard, "Knows what I got" and cars that would have been junked ten years ago are now restoration fodder and going for insane money.

What a cool guy to get to talk to! I hope he can find his second Camaro.

I've heard the term 'day 2 cars' before, but today, I just learned what it actually means. This was an informative conversation with Mike!

Motorsports royalty here. Thanks again Mike for letting us feature your old '78 Camaro! Best of luck with Joy Riding.

If this car was given away for parts all the "evidence" would be thrown away or reused for another camaro

It is in a body of water

Red Forman ? From the 70’s show, he had a blue one that his son stole and went on a date with. You mean he never brought it back? Don’t blame him the only thing that was hotter was the chick sitting next to him 😂

That is awesome, I’m really happy for him. I think it should be Night Moves again!!

Ohio plate

Love it!!

As always well done Wes. Hope this guy finds his pop's ride. Great story!!

Can the dubbed engine and tire noises, otherwise great episode.

If he hasn't already then he should reply to my post in the General chat section on "The AMC Forum" as its still fairly active with a lot of old, longtime AMC folks. A Blue Rebel Machine is incredibly rare, I've never seen one (in print/online/car shows etc) and I've been into AMC's since the 80's. Over the years I have found several RWB Machines and a couple of green ones, but never blue. So the possibility of finding it is pretty good, someone would remember that car.

Omg another episode

After 40 years.that car could be anywhere.good luck

They were cool

I understand the drive to find his dad’s Machine wherever it might be… love AMC’s and sure hope someone out there can help him find it

I've bought my dad's 71 chevelle and I'm never selling it

Put it back to the way his dad had it

First time I have come across this site....Great info sharing place......Love the SHELBY story!!!!!! Love to see some PONTIAC finds

I'm so happy for Louis!

Heartwrenching story! Glad he got it back

What an awesome story. I would redo it just like it was when his dad had it.

👍👍

I think he should restore this car to his the same way his dad had it, because that's where the memories are. That's how I was going to do my dad '71 chevelle wagon that you found for me. I also like what was said about how you could buy another and make it look just like his dad's, but you wouldn't have the connection with it.

I bet so many Shelbys have had their ‘slimer’ color changed to re-paint red or black…

Good find, Wes!

What a crazy twist that the artist Peter Max Owned his Dad's old Corvette at one point!

I just found this channel. I gotta talk to you so we can find my Dads 67 CHEVELLE in a rare color. Which has a great story! Happy Fathers Day.

Back to Night Moves!

Back in 1971 I saw a BLACK 1967 GT500 at a Drive-In food joint in Spartanburg, SC! I had just moved to Spartanburg in 1970 and was a huge Ford fan! A white guy in his mid to late twenties (same age as I was) was resting on the front fender and I told him "I love your car man!". He replied; "Thanks"! Was this the missing car of this video? It was GORGEOUS!

The subscriber count on this site is no indication of the quality of content. Well done Wes!!

how can I send you a request to find a lost muscle car??

Your microphones SUCK!

Wes is Wes aWESome

Searching for those cars that may no longer exist…0939 perhaps?

Some guy got it and cobbled it up ugh

What an awesome journey to follow! Great work!

Good work finding another one!!

There's a guy who wasted one of the world's greatest porn names on an art career. Petter max was born to star in porn

Love this!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I thought this was about lost cars, not a millionaire collector looking for providence on a car he's having restored.

Wait.... Wess, I just noticed you're wearing a Longville MN shirt! My cabin is on Woman Lake in Longville! Crazy!!!!!! I never thought I would see someone on the internet wearing a Longville MN shirt.

He really needs to redo this car back to how his father had it. Take your time and get it done right. Do the bodywork and paint on it, rust repair, then get the engine in it, dual carb v8!
