It is amazing that you guys work all week and then go out and help people in your spare time. I hope that one day you guys will grow enough to make a living from your channel. I will be here cheering you on. You're good people.
Hell yeah!!! I don't care what anyone says about older engines! They plain and simple come back, even when most people give up on them. You guys are.awesome!! Always fun to watch you videos. Great job!!
Christina you need to bring this guy with you as your spokesman. You could tell he was over the moon when that car started. Great video as always , thank you guys so much for sharing your adventures with us.👍👍🇨🇦
I NEVER get tired of watching Richard and Christina. They work so well together and they don't edit out Richard's bloopers, which so many do to theirs. By the way, did anyone notice that Richard never once forgot to hook up the battery? That's his claim to fame in the blooper department.
Nice project car for sure, nice job Richard. I have a soft spot for the 1st gen Camaro because I own a 67 Camaro SS myself, take guys and can't wait for your next video
Agree! I told Richard that morning before we arrived I really wanted to film that as a special father son moment they could share. Absolutely wonderful family! Thanks for watching much appreciated.
Richard and Christina love watching you! Nice old Camaro, it wasn't looking good at first but you pulled it thru and it was hard to believe how the old motor smoothed out no noise. That's a car that needs many thousands thrown at it for restoration. Great investment and keep up the great work 👍❤
Richard and Christina it's awesome watching you both doing these car and truck Videos and puthing these classics back on the road, so keep up the great work and God Bless both of you 😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪👍👍👍👍❤
Richard you getting this car for Christina ? Or getting it going for owner. Your the most thorough will it start man I have watched. Now think it’s for the customer .Thank you for sharing! 💯👊
Thank you! Richard for this magnificent presentation on the TH-cam channel. You guys make a great couple and you're such a real nice team. Have yourself a great Summer 2023. Johnny, Montréal, Canada.
Glad to see that you and Christine got that Camaro up and running. The best thing that can be done for that car is license it, and drive it. Don't let it sit. It's amazing how much damage a tarp can do to a car. The motor sounds really healthy to. Nice job 👍
That was definitely one of the best and personal videos I have seen! Really glad you helped Gus and his family make there dreams come true. Keep on reviving!!
Richard: you can't straighten push rods, once they bend they're done. Me: well, I've straighted many a push rods just to get an engine running with no problems. Then replace later... Or not 🤷♂️ lol
Awesome project. Glad to see it's going to be driven again and not sitting collecting dust. Notice the grip fender protector. I'm from the grand rapids area. Very cool.
Another amazing success for the dynamic Duo. You guys killed it with this revival. And you now brought you're friend Gus back into the car community. Just a suggestion but you guys may be able to do a follow up video, if you follow Gus and the Camaro to a local car event this summer.
I bought a 1965 Pontiac. Lemans that I put (what used to be called a "Goat Kit" that turned it into a GTO) that was maroon red with a white convertible top (and came with the original convertible boot cover) and had factory air conditioning. I bought it in 1972. Wish I still had it
Definitely a gem 💎 right there nice motivation can't wait to find me a good masterpiece to work on and keep original as possible keep it coming man nice classic
quality video guys ... richards got patience of a saint with that stuck motor ... top filming christina ... always good too watch the quality work ... keep up the great will it run videos ....
I enjoyed that one Richard and Christina, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos because you are real people. The pleasure you get from doing this is also very evident.... Keep up the good work guys, you are appreciated 😊
Wonderful episode, really enjoyed it. I owned two Camaros A bone stock 70 Rally Sport and a 68 with a big block that i put in. The first Gens begged to be hot rodded LOL
“SMOKE AND GLORY” An amazing video,what a turnaround;Richard,You and Christina are great,making people happy!Thank You, and Take Care, Your Oregon Friend ☮️
What an awesome thing you guys do! Seeing the emotion & how important it was to that family made me so happy for everyone involved! No doubt if it were me I'd be leaking from eyes too. Prob more than that pesky oil filter! Keep up the solid work, yall rock! I look forward to the next one!👍✌️
Amazing work all of you. This was a tough one. Was so incredible to see the emotion of the entire family with what you two did. Incredible video and amazing determination. God bless you both for the joy you give people.
You guys Richard and Christina are Awsome 👍 and to see the smile on Gus’s face, that is Why you have the best Channel on YT If i have lived in the States, i would have send you a small gift, because its not cheap what you folks are doing ❤️
Cool Camaro, too bad someone let it kinda go to waste. A "blind hole" doesn't go into anything, it is closed on the end. Anyway, glad you got her running, and hopefully she's on her way to getting the restoration she deserves. Take care, Richard and Christina!
Hi Richard & Christina, greetings from Scotland. Very nice video, and what a great job. You worked hard for that one Richard, and it sounded remarkably smooth when it eventually started. It’s a very cool car, and I hope Gus follows thru and continues the work that you started. A new exhaust system followed by sorting out the steering/ track rods & brakes would probably allow you to drive it……if only temporarily. Nice job Richard and lots of good information whilst you were working on it. Excellent knowledge. Cheers for now guys.
Gus thanks for turning me on to these videos, Great job on his Camaro Rich. I have a 78 Bandit T/A, and Gus will be racing me with this Camaro. Mine is Barn find as well with the very little rust so I'm going to leave it that way and fix some interior issues. Thanks for your video's
A great pitch for a great pair of auto revivers. It's also great to see pleased customers getting involved and speaking R & C's praises before the Camera. Indiana isn't close really to Tennessee, so I was amazed that they both have regular jobs. Having watched many episodes I was under the impression that this was all they did, especially given the distances they occasionally travel. All on a weekend. As their fame spreads the demand may require them to quit their "day" jobs and do this full time...as long as the income justifies it.
Hey guys you all did great job at getting this old girl running again. That is the thing that we do not see all the hard work that it takes to get a car back up and running. With making a video for your channel alot of the hard and tough work is not show because of time and that is what makes you and Christina's channel the best! Thank you Richard and Christina for all you do!!
👏👏👏👏👏😁 I'm still smiling! An awesome job, on an awesome car, for an awesome family!! Another miracle run for a car that was looking like it wouldn't ever run again! I wish Gus and his family the best and continue getting the Camaro back on the road. 👍👍👍😎 Thank you for sharing Richard and Christina! And thank you to Gus and his family as well!! Fantastic
A great one Rich & Chris!!! Really enjoyed the ups an downs of this project. Real nice job of filming and editing too. Thanks so very much and please keep 'em comin'.
Wow Richard... That ole gal was sure giving you a run for your money! I knew you'd bring her back to life though. Beautiful car & nice family. Another job well done.
Hello Richard & Christina: Another successful video. Richard pick up a half moon pry bar. It is very good at lifting stuck valves and getting reasonable leverage on the ring gear or flex plate. The tip on the one I use most frequently has worn down considerably but it still seem to get the job done without slipping excessively. Keep the videos coming.
Hi I redid a 69 SS Rag Top in 85. The original color was a sky blue, we painted it Deep Forest Green with White Stripes new White Top and Green Interior. It was also a automatic with Air and a Posi. Sure do miss that car. Good Luck
Mr. B. Here ! Well guys I have seen many vehicles 🚗🚗 this one looks like it was in a flood. You have lifted many and have the signs water was under 💦! Good luck ! 🍋🍋🍋
When putting in plugs, always turn the plug anticlockwise first to find the thread entry point, then turn the plug clockwise to insert it thus avoiding cross threading. Same with bolts.
Wow Richard thats a beautiful car you and Christine find some gems hope it gets turning over ot seems like it's been in a ocean for a while unbeleivable start up Richard sounded good also
I wish I knew where the Camaro came from originally (I grew up in indiana) and I wonder if the awesome folks were hoosiers! Way to go Richard and Christina, you hit it outta the park!
Another great video. This was a great will it run. To bad it was not yours,that would be a great fix it on a budget video. Really enjoyed and keep it up.
Nice original Camaro! Rare convertible too. A/C and a 12 bolt? Amazing. Where do you find these gems? If I had all the Chevelles, Camaros and other rides from my youth, I would be retired. I can see y'all are having a blast with these rescue missions. I would be too. Kudos to you and Christina. Enjoy
It's amazing how much these old American cars can take, and still come back. It's also Heartwarming to see just how much people love the rescues
Good view and good couple team, opaaaa!!
Just outstanding, how gratifying is that ! Kudos to the both of you !!!!!🎉😊
Top notch mechanic, class act, Christina doing a great job also....class act...thanks so much for sharing..
You guys are heaven sent! Helping people get their babies going again! I love the way you both got excited for the owner when it finnaly started!❤
Thank you Steve. This car was very challenging, but the owner's reaction made it all worth it.
It is amazing that you guys work all week and then go out and help people in your spare time. I hope that one day you guys will grow enough to make a living from your channel. I will be here cheering you on. You're good people.

Richard you and your wife is great and your content is getting better and better. You are a true mechanic and very real.. wow!!!
Thank you very much Russel.
Richard and Christina love watching you! Nice old Camaro, it wasn't looking good at first but you pulled it thru and it was hard to believe how the old motor smoothed out no noise. That's a car that needs many thousands thrown at it for restoration. Great investment and keep up the great work 👍❤
Thanks Lynn!
Always happy seeing another come back. Hope to see this car finished up and maybe the quarter panel repaired update please
Will do. Thanks James.
Nice work Richard. This one looks like it's been in a flood to me... but after 40 years+ to get is running is just brilliant!
Thanks for the support Kev!

This was awesome! Gus and his family really should make their own channel and document progress on that car
That would be a great family experience! They should! Thanks for watching much appreciated.

I agree. It is best if this car is kept original. The owner is saving all the parts we replaced.
awesome video! good to see the younger generation getting involved in wrenching
Thanks very much. It was cool having the young man help out.
Ah. I see from watching and listening it was left outside as well Too bad. Great video. Kudos to you both!
Right, it was outside for a very long time before the current owner bought it.
quality video guys ... richards got patience of a saint with that stuck motor ... top filming christina ... always good too watch the quality work ... keep up the great will it run videos ....
The ultimate "What-the-Rust?-Mobile"!
Pull valve covers and tap valves with plastic mallet, will help to unlock engine.
I enjoyed that one Richard and Christina, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos because you are real people. The pleasure you get from doing this is also very evident.... Keep up the good work guys, you are appreciated 😊

Thank you Matt. It was a touching moment when that car fired up. I'll hold that memory for a long time.
Great revival, with owner and family, present. Made memorys for ever , well done , great teamwork 👌💨💨💨
Thanks Darren. We have great memories from our time there. Very nice people, and just a wonderful time.
Great car. This reminds me of how retro my 2012 actually is. Very weird about the oil filters too. I've never come across that.
Thanks. Those incorrect oil filters were a first for me too.
Amazing work all of you. This was a tough one. Was so incredible to see the emotion of the entire family with what you two did. Incredible video and amazing determination. God bless you both for the joy you give people.
Thank you my friend!

Richard,
Omg , what a sweet sound and very rewarding video.
Love it
That is a very nice Camaro. All that car needs is a little TLC and a good deep cleaning.
thanks for this video! interesting car. I like your work. your channel is always uplifting! )) good luck!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Wow just watched the 69 Camaro W I R , awesome job guys , I could see the smoke from Nova Scotia loved it!
Thanks Peter!
Hello Richard & Christina: Another successful video. Richard pick up a half moon pry bar. It is very good at lifting stuck valves and getting reasonable leverage on the ring gear or flex plate. The tip on the one I use most frequently has worn down considerably but it still seem to get the job done without slipping excessively.
Keep the videos coming.
Thanks, I will be getting one! I am starting to like unsticking the engine from the flexplate. So much more leverage there.
Ihad a 71 camera
Hi I redid a 69 SS Rag Top in 85. The original color was a sky blue, we painted it Deep Forest Green with White Stripes new White Top and Green Interior. It was also a automatic with Air and a Posi. Sure do miss that car. Good Luck
I like the dark green on a first gen Camaro.
Thanks for sharing! It’s great to see someone who really cares about the quality of their videos. You both work together as an amazing team
Thanks Jared. Working on this car was like working with history. It was so original.
Richard, is there anything you can't get running? You guys are great!
There are a couple that are giving me quite a challenge. Those videos are coming soon.
It's so great to get his boys involved this project.
Right, that was a special day, and very nice to see the revival be a family event.
You are the man richard, i have learned a ton of car stuff from you.
Thanks very much, Matthew. Your support is appreciated.
Great video. Awesome outcome.
Thank you John.
I had a really nice 68 back in 1986.big block 4spd.i miss that car so much!
Mr. B. Here ! Well guys I have seen many vehicles 🚗🚗 this one looks like it was in a flood. You have lifted many and have the signs water was under 💦! Good luck ! 🍋🍋🍋
I was thinking the same. It was just too rusty under that distributor cap. On the other hand, the interior was still very nice.
@@whattherust Agree on interior !
I think that is the favorite body style of Camaros people like, thank you for sharing.
Glad you like it, Dan. This one wore me out!
When putting in plugs, always turn the plug anticlockwise first to find the thread entry point, then turn the plug clockwise to insert it thus avoiding cross threading. Same with bolts.
Reminds me of my first car which was a 68 the engine looks like my 2nd vehical which was a 75 chevy half ton
Wow Richard thats a beautiful car you and Christine find some gems hope it gets turning over ot seems like it's been in a ocean for a while unbeleivable start up Richard sounded good also
Thanks Robert. It is a nice car. With a little more work, it will be roadworthy.
I wish I knew where the Camaro came from originally (I grew up in indiana) and I wonder if the awesome folks were hoosiers! Way to go Richard and Christina, you hit it outta the park!
Thank you Paul!
Nice job Richard keep up the good work from wild Bill resurrected classics of Nashville Lebanon Tennessee
Thanks neighbor!

Kudos to you and Christina. Enjoy
Thanks very much Gary. I was quite surprised to see the 12 bolt in a car with a 350 2 barrel.
