You've done it again, Ben! Massive thanks to you and your pop for all the help. Maybe the next video on this ol' girl will be its trip to Bonneville so we can recreate some of those photos! 😎
Great story, great work documenting it, great car, and great people. Nick Arias, Alex Xydias, Stu Hilborn, Phil Remington, and Barney Navarro and the rest of those guys, were heroes. I never get tired of hearing about that period of HotRodding history
This is just so cool! Congrats on this incredible recovery, and big thanks to Christian for being so cool about it. Can't wait to see it in person someday, hopefully running!
What an awesome story, keep us posted moving forward, I'd love to see this restored back to as raced condition. And excellent job on the video, audio, editing, everything, it's on point young man. Keep up the good work!
Wow what a history story on a lost survivor racer,so much Documentation.tks u Ben an all that was involved in this video.hope u do a update sometime..tks
Being an old race fan I really enjoy these types of stories. For a member of the family finding their grandfather's race car that has been in hiding for over 50 years and bringing it back into the daylight is great. I hope someday this young man gets to take his son for a ride in this car.
Amazing story, and what a blessing to get that car back to the heirs of the man who ran it. I grew up in Long Beach, my father was a old school El Mirage racer and told some great stories. I have the last hot rod Flat head he built. He passed in 1983, My son and I are going to build a roadster in the tradition of my Dad's times to put the engine in. I am looking for another car that is very special to me, and this gives me hope that I still may find it one day.
Please never stop these types of videos as a SoCal kid myself seeing that hot rodding and muscle cars are still going strong here makes me so happy. Amazing to see that these cars are still out there! Keep up the dope work!
This is hands down my favorite episode that you've done so far, Ben! Documenting this type of rich hot rodding history, and a car of this caliber finally coming home is totally sick. Well done man. 👏🏻
words fail me. an incredible car and an incredible, special, story. I'm so happy for justin and the family... got me kinda emotional. thank god for good friends like christian too. please... follow this story and document progress as you can and thanks!
It definitely looks like Nick Arias' fingerprints are all over that car. What an incredible story and I can't wait to see Justin bring it back to life and eventually bring it back to Bonneville! I'd love to be there when he does and see it run.
A great story of some of the great California hot rodders and a special 37/8 Chevy Coupe. So glad it has returned to this gentleman's family. Hopefully, a rear end matching its glory days will be found and the car be refinished to a running and driving condition of it's racing heritage.
WOW!!! Outstanding story!! ...and Christian, not only were you an ace for connecting this car back with her original family, but Holy Smoke, you sure know your stuff when it comes to all those vintage speed parts!! Well done Sir!
Wow thank you for sharing this historical travel back in time 🙏 fantastic story, so greatful to see that its back in the family bringing a treasured piece home for everyone to reminisce over
Amazing story and so cool to watch and just shows you what is still out there lying around. Really hope to see more of this on your channel ?? Please !!!
That is the most incredible story. Well done and thank you for sharing. I feel minor parallels but no where near the same story of such a great rediscovery. I hope you get to record the restoration of that legend.
This is a great story. Had it on in the garage while working on my roadster. Problem is I’d have to rewind the video over and over because I kept missing details. New plan is to watch tonight in the house and relax with a cold beer 🍺. With your family connections you could do many more videos like this. Thanks for the great content. 👍👍
HOW AWESOME!!!!! SO EPIC, JUST LEGENDARY. I LOVE HISTORIC RACE CAR HISTORY AND WHEN THEY ARE FOUND AND BACK IN SAFE HANDS. GOD BLESS , LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING GET RESTORED AND BACK ON THE ROAD!!🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍
Wow!! Killer story!! You're very fortunate you found your Grandfather's car! I'm sure the car will stay in the Arias family! Thank you for sharing your awesome story!!
Amazing story,stuff like this is a once in a life time type of thing,almost magical. And looks like Justin made a new solid friend in Christian. All I can say is unbeleviable
Vids like this one remind me why I luv cars and this story brought me to applauding when the call from Justin came in at the end. Justin is a natural story teller who, I'm guessing, was much like his granddad. It's the car! That declaration was great. I was actually clapping at the end. It was put together well...good job.
Cool how cars were cobbled together long before Summit Racing stores. Parts from all car makers in those builds almost. Very cool story on this one. And extremely cool detective work. Feel like I just watched an episode of Columbo LOL. Christian even gives off that vibe.
Ben, this is by far the greatest car story I’ve ever seen! Just amazing! I’ll have to watch it over again. So great that it somehow survived and found it’s way back to the right home. Thank you for making and, sharing this super documentary! I’m sure the story will continue. 👍👍👍
Man what a story! Love how you pieces it together leaving all the details in. Glad I got to be there on the sidelines first hand. I’m still amazed that the car was found about 20 minutes from where Justin currently lives. Great detective work Christian and Justin!
This was a great story to be allowed to share in. I was born in 1949, went to Lions a few times, and from the pages of Hot Rod Magazine I worshiped the names Hilborn, Iskenderian, Arias, and Carrillo. I had a $600.00 pickup in 1966 and went to a paint shop in Lynwood to see about getting it painted. I was dumbfounded that the owner told me it would be $2,000 to get my name on the waiting list! Years later I figured out that was Juniors House of Color. I have never owned a great car, but I have stood on the sidelines and seen so many great things. Thanks for this great video.
Wow what a great story it’s so fun that I had tears in my eyes hearing this. Can’t wait to see the car restored or what ever your going to do with it. What dream to find your grandpas car. Good luck with it Justin

Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree mate.
Great story, great work documenting it, great car, and great people. Nick Arias, Alex Xydias, Stu Hilborn, Phil Remington, and Barney Navarro and the rest of those guys, were heroes. I never get tired of hearing about that period of HotRodding history

It definitely looks like Nick Arias' fingerprints are all over that car. What an incredible story and I can't wait to see Justin bring it back to life and eventually bring it back to Bonneville! I'd love to be there when he does and see it run.
Bonneville would be so cool
i wonder if they could find his literal finger prints on the car
That's a fantastic story. So great that the car is still so intact and so many parts were still with it. Real hot rod history.
A great story of some of the great California hot rodders and a special 37/8 Chevy Coupe. So glad it has returned to this gentleman's family. Hopefully, a rear end matching its glory days will be found and the car be refinished to a running and driving condition of it's racing heritage.
Unbelievable story! The car is so cool, plus having a lot of the original race parts .
What an amazing story. And being able to prove without a doubt it’s the car. This is fantastic news! Congratulations Justin.
What an amazing story the ending was awesome 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
Great story, motor wise,in my opinion, there's nothing sweeter than a nicely tuned straight 6
Love this type of longer video!
Love the story and love the SO CAL only Converse lacing. Super bad ass. Thanks for posting this fantastic story. You guys are the BEST.
Awesome find and great video. Wow what a lucky guy to find his grandfathers race car and have it so complete.
Long video, but what a great documentary. I couldn't stop watching it. I glad I didn't, because (spoiler alert) it has a happy ending.
Thanks Kevin! It was my longest video haha. Lots of editing. See you soon

Unbelievable story, and documentation. What a piece of history to go back to a family member that is a 100 percent car guy, just like his father.
That is a amazing story. Gramps was a Hot Rodder. So cool to sit here and watch it.😊
Hope to see updates. Very cool story behind it. Congratulations.
