This video should be in everyone’s TH-cam page 😭😭😭like those random videos that just start getting poppin 😭🤝🤝🤝

They had radeo in cop cars then

My great grandfather grew up in those hills around carters lake area! It was a sad time when they had to move a little south for work!

I would have been into NASCAR before it went woke

We shouldn’t glorify men that were engaged in illegal activities. No telling how many people were harmed or killed by the moonshine trade into Atlanta.

Walkin & talkin history - i’am sure he sanitized some for the interview Someone needs to sit down with a tape recorder and a couple of easy chairs and just talk about the ole days

Dad had 38 Ford.

Canadian singer wrote this song and song it th-cam.com/video/zkXTBoWTqxU/w-d-xo.html

I want to hear it run

Hang on a second. If prohibition ended in 1933, and this car wasn't built until 1939, why were the cops chasing this guy? Leave him alone guys this is the 40s

Engine was a 309 flat head with a Throckmorton turbo...

Pure Muricana!

Junior Johnson once said the fastest car he ever owned was a ford moonshine car

Ol rascal !

My mother hauled moonshine in Nashville back in the day, when she was only 18. She was very pretty and prim and proper so she flew under the police radar. Back then she was Ramona Watkins; she would later become Ramona Burnett, the wife of a Nashville police officer. She also went on to become the country's first Weather Girl on WCPO in Cincinnati (like I said, she was very pretty), but before then she was poor after her father, a doctor, had died. So fifty dollars to drive a Chevy with "special suspension" in the rear to a specific alleyway, park it and lock the doors and trunk, sit through the movie in the nearby theater, and then drive the car (with a much-higher rear now) back home and park it, was an easy decision for her. This was around 1950, just before she went into television and met my father. She said that Chevy was a monster. At normal RPMs for normal street driving the engine sounded a little like it needed a new muffler, but nothing to attract police attention, she said. But once she punched it, it was like Godzilla banged his shin on a sharp object and all hell broke loose. The Local Boys chose her also because she could drive like a bat out of hell if the cops chased her, which they never did. This was put to the test much later in her life when, at ten years old, I was bleeding from a giant gash in my wrist made by a rusty cat food can lid when I was pushing down a bag of garbage into the garbage can outside. She drove her MGBGT sports car like a mad woman and got me to the hospital faster than an ambulance could have arrived at our house. It was serious Race Day Point Of View stuff, and damn exciting, even though I was also afraid of dying with that bloody washcloth wrapped around my wrist. She was one hell of a mother. Bought me a submachine gun for my high school graduation present (ATF Form 4'ed it to herself because I was not yet 21, and had to be with me whenever I fired it until I transferred it to myself later on) and a Smith and Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum for my 19th birthday present. Thank goodness I was responsible enough! She wouldn't have if I hadn't been. Anyway, if you want to see my mother and father, they are featured in the book Cincinnati Television by Jim Friedman. She's listed as Ramona Burnett and he as Bud Chase (his Goyisher television name, since they didn't much like Jews in television back then.

Beautiful Car… But They Drove Like Tank

American life is risky and rough if you have the right stuff , The bluff Great Cars jet fuel In the Iron Mule Number one Tool

Let me tell a story, I can tell it all, about a mountain boy who hauled illegal alcohol......Thunder Road.....great movie...:-)

He looks and kinda sounds like Ward Burton. I think. Anybody else see it?

That’s a lot of weight to haul.

Very nicely done young sir. It's good that you can respect your elders because they do have a lot to bring to the table that you know you may want to know and if they have and you just need to ask him. I'm almost 64 and my son is 42. I still know more about what he owns and drives but he's catching up quick because I simply don't care as much as I used to. But it is very nice when my son comes and asks me about an issue with his car and we can discuss it. That makes me feel useful and that is very special to this this old man. LOL thanks from Bob in Virginia USA

Did he ever thought he would see legal moonshine

Now moonshine legal

god bless him and all the ridge runners with the shine carrie on

Thanks Cody!

You never come back from Copperhead road!

I am the one who interviewed Charlie here in this video. I think it was in 2010, so I was only 13 years old. I had a deep appreciation for racing history, especially of the North Georgia area. Many of these old guys took me 'under their wing' so to speak as how many pre-teens were interested in old racing? Charlie was exceptional to me, not only here in this video but up until he passed. I was honored to have been a pall bearer at his funeral in 2016. Also, I totally understand that Charlie made this interview. But I just want to note this was probably the second time I had ever done any type of interview. It was a spur of the moment thing - "Here, go take this camera and talk to Charlie". I miss Charlie and dozens of others from his era. The stories that he and others could tell were unmatched. He was one of the biggest supporters to us at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame here in Dawsonville. We still have a display case with some highlights of his accomplishments, and yes, we have had his 39' on display at various times before.

its already bean invited its called a fat man and a bike

I sure miss Ole Mincey. He was a good ole boy

I got my Lamborghini to run on a water vodka mix~

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.🤠👍

The girl has not a clue to what he's saying.

This guy is a legend. He could make most anything happen for a price

Todays generation will have nothing to tell worth listening to. Now Charlie on the other hand as things to tell and people listen !

You got any brother the white light..

I watched my uncle do a flying 360 degree on a bridge in a 1 ton flatbed truck. He won a twenty dollar bet. 1959.

What a beauty. Love that split window.

I wish the interviewer had called him "Mr. Mincey" or "Mr. Charlie". I'm sure there was no disrespect intended, but with Mr. Mincey being clearly much older than the interviewer, it would have come across sounding better.

Nice!

Great video!! If really enjoyed hearing him speak. It would be killer to meet that man. A walking legend

Thanks so much for posting would love to see that last hit engine

WHO's here in 2022 looking for alternative gaoline?

I didn't want to see the cans, I wanted to see the engine!

Only 9 likes? This deserves way more

He should be properly interviewed and the car should be museumed

If it wasnt for those snivelling wowsers then hotrods may never have happened

I love the good old days of MOONSHINE...

LEGEND WISH WE HAD MORE VIDEOS OF THE OLD TIMERS SO WE CAN HEAR THERE STORIES

Now that is a cool documentary about a real American man and real American cars, doing real American shit! Much respect for that man and the ones like him, they're breed is slowly going extinct these days.
