- In this video, we drive around aimlessly for hours searching for our next project car, but there's a catch: it HAS to be on the side of the road. That means no Craigslist, no Marketplace, only sheer luck. We found and bought something surprising, so come along for the adventure!

“Cook me up some fried chicken”
“I’m not a black belt yet” 😂😂
With a handwritten sign like that, how did you pass on the vw😅
fuckin great
That had me dead
@@andrewhamel15 also "that car looks like it has a lot of fentanyl in and around it"
Had me dying
Tom,I actually think that's a killer idea. Clean it up and see what you can trade it for
I second the motion…spice it up just enough to get double your purchase price and get something better
Car isn’t really bad, but at 200+k miles on the clock, it’s just questionable enough not to beat on it..but at least parts are easily available and quite a few mods available
…as a daily for some boomer or somebody to take it easy on it, it would be great tho
@@jorgeantonini201yeah, if he doubles his money and adds the rest of the original 5k he could go back and buy that Chrysler if it’s for sale.
@GriffinWallTheFlyingLion this is an excellent plan
I agree with this message 🫡
Would be cool to just keep trading cars until something really nice comes along
Next time you do this challenge it should be at night and the cars should be free
Just like Chicago
Great idea
Lmfao
"We would probably use it for parts" what he really means is "im gonna lowball you and not use it for parts" 😂
Hahaha then called about the frame rails
TOM. As an owner of a 6th gen charger this video makes me so happy. This car is gonna be able to do whatever you want it to. I recommend a few things. 1. 200k miles is a lot. Open up the engine and check for wear or concerns, especially the lifters and the VALVE SEATS. If those look good, go ahead with some Eagle generation heads, get some shorty headers, a 6.1 intake, and make sure you fool with the coolant and radiator to keep this car cool. It hates running above 250°. 2. The gears in these chargers are pretty long, an easy way to wake it up is by getting a shorter rear gear ratio. 3. Spice up the interior. Replace the speakers, get some SRT seats, and you’ll have a fantastic daily driver. 400whp, comfy, and smooth. Maybe some new wheels and tires because the factory ones are fugly.
best comment here
He doesn’t care about valve seats. It’s gonna be blown up in the next few weeks… and probably fully swapped or something
Mf he’s gunna sell it within the next video
@@beansuop the OP was acting like this some valuable rare gem that needs time and affection
Pro charge and cam it
My dad just passed away on Sunday and he used to ride around with his girlfriend and his dog on the weekends and would do exactly this, ride around searching fields for project cars. Glad this video popped up today ❤ #forevercruising
That’s awesome, may he rest in peace!
💀💀💀
Why is bro typing so hyper
Bro just died
@@TOMSREFURBgoodly ahhhh
Tom definitely yells “brotherrrrr” at Harley riders, then skedaddles away.
RAN INTO SOME GODDAMBM CLIBBINS HAD TO LAY ER DOWN GOBBLESS
Chill out HOSS before I send DEB your way. GOBBLESS
CRANK MA HAWG GOBBLESS
CRANK YER HOGG
I was like dang what a clean mk3 vw and then Tom just absolutely 💩 on it 😂
Too bad it wasn't a vr6 turbo
Bummed me out he's NOT a vw guy 😅
@@gasNmudtvit’s a 1.8t swapped
Fr as a tdi owner the “I hate Volkswagens” hurt 😭 and I own a Jeep too
@@night5738mk6 jsw tdi over here, yea dude it hurt. I wanna hear his thoughts on Jeep and why 😂
make this a series that happens every month or two man! this vid is awesome and getting a couple more would be the best tom.
🔥🔥🔥
Tom is now part of the magnum hemi brothers!
Hell yeah brother, a fellow Cleet enjoyer 🤘
How bout now?
He’ll yeah brother!
Magnum 5.7L HEMI V8
27:49 PLEASE hit this one with the tommy boy special
i’m in rehab right now and tom’s the only thing keeping me sane and not just saying fuck it and leaving. tom i doubt you’ll see this since its a week or two old. but thank you for the entertainment. i truly appreciate it
Hang in there, wishing you all the best! Thanks for the support ❤️
Last time I was this early my wife got annoyed.
You spelled boyfriend wrong.
Literal Gold. Lol
fr
is she annoyed still?
Believe me I know. She was pissed off that you showed up to your house early, I had to jump out the back window. I barely made it!
Just so ya know, 94-95 Cobras came with rear bumpers that said "MUSTANG". wasn't until 96 that the cobras had actual bumpers with that lettering.
That poor mustang owner dude got cooked😂😂
not really. Dude was tryna fleece some poor soul with asking 5k for basically sheet metal, and an unknown motor
Should defo make this into an series
Tom spent a grand on Tuesday 😂😂😂
camera man was finally allowed in the house just for this video
Diet drake or not. ..still the most diverse TH-cam car channel
6.1 cam’s and valve train, ported heads, ARP head studs, connecting rod bolts, pin crank, feed it corn and boost it’ll make 600+ without breaking the 5 grand mark
Right and it’ll eat the trans lol. And rear end
@@Thisappaintreal no sacrifice, no victory. 😂😂😂😂😂
This style of video is great, your crew is gold. They were right about the bus!
I'd like the see this get souped up and become a trade up series! You always do em good.
Love seeing Tom's friends with him in the video. Hope we see more of them in future videos
Oh I think trying to do a series of "trading up" cars would be a pretty sick idea. Maybe you could end up with thta chrysler 😂
me watching from Texas in confusion as Tom talks about covering entire states in less than a day. i think you should use the charger as a starting point and see how far you can trade up with it
yea texas is bigger then the tri states put together lol
Delaware you can drive from the north end to the southern end in a couple hrs
You toss a purple cam in that car. It will wake it up. It looks cool and sounds good. I love it, brother. Build it up brother have fun with it
3:50 Learning Tom hates Volkswagens felt exactly the same as learning Santa Claus wasn't real.
2:13 In The Aeroplane Over the Sea album art spotted. Excellent taste, Tom
tom, this is a car that i know lots of people love, iconic gen of charger, nothing would be cooler then for you to clean it up, make it your style and then send it down the road if you dont fall in love with it
1:32 lmfaoo what?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@10:30 Tom got a invisible footlong 😂
Sometimes I forget Tom is a real person and I love when I get reminded of it😂
Make this a series it would be great
That mk3 Jetta woulda been fun to see Tom get his hands on it😂
Fr
It would need a custom tube frame to house the Twin turbo LS. Takes too long.
Tom already has Christmas Syndrome.
rattle-can, some up keep, and trade da thang. looing forward for the next vid tom
19:25 Confirmed Tom is a gentleman. He opens doors for cameramen. Who said chivalry is dead. Thanks Tom for not only restoring cars, but my faith in humanity.
😂
Dear Tom, I'm in dire need of those beautiful hands of yours. My catalytic convertors on my 1995 Lexus LS400 are shot. They need to go. But where I live there is an emissions law, and I cant get anyone to help me out with them. I want to straight pipe it and make it badass like you do with your exhaust systems. I need you tom. I'm calling car Jesus (you) to help me out!!!! P.S. I have watched every single one of your videos and I Love all the content you make, LOVE YOU TOM!
12:15, where you parked, my mom's parents owned that fruit stand before it was sold a few years ago. Jim's Market
my mom OOOHHHHHHHHH
@@ghost.of.aleksz.salad.woooooooooo
"my mom's parents"
Interesting choice of words. Most likely estranged. I'm a good detective. Did you eat a banana on September 4th, 2003?
We need more of these types of videos!
0:01 Spoiler blocker is needed. Video got runied by these comments
yes
This needs to be pinned
Thank you dude
“Picking up cameramen would be so easy “ 😂
Bad opinion of jeep I knew I liked this kid
Love you Tom, just wanna say your videos are some of the best parts of my day. Don’t ever stop posting!
Another Tom classic. Uploading a video about getting a new project instead of continuing on his 17 other projects he is currently working on 😂
Too true 😭
15:39 he definitely said 2 grand.
fr lmao what a douchebag 😂
Build it cam , gears , exhaust your regular stuff good choice brother
Them transmission r built good. Steel of a deal also, doll it up and swap it out is my vote!
Car version of trading a paperclip up to a house would be legendary
Trade up series 💯
Tom should put a 1000 horsepower hellcat motor in it
Tom you gotta make this into a series!!
I had an 03 SS Silverado and it was the best truck I ever owned, soon as I seen it in the thumbnail I clicked🤣
Good find and buy. Do a few quick and easy upgrades , have some fun and then move it on to next owner and you can find and build something better, cooler and more worthy for time on your channel. Another fun and cool episode that has us thinking on ways to spend time with a few close and likeminded friends.
19:37 you should swap a mustang into that Honda.
i’m about to buy my second vehicle, this time i have to go searching around for it. my first truck i bought was in the family so i already knew i wanted it. but now that im looking around i’ve gotten the mind set of “what would tom say about this? is this a price tom would pay for?” i’ve got one that’s worthy. but i want to thank tom for raising me and teaching me what’s cool, how to properly modify a vehicle when your not big ballen and what i need to do so i can lay fat burnouts just like him.
More videos with the gang please. very cool.
maybe think about putting the motor in the dakoter (idk how good of an idea that is)
You should put a hellcat supercharger on it
“Best damn automotive content on TH-cam” is 100% right!! You make them bangers bro!
MAKE SURE YOU GET THEM NIKE SLIPPAS TOMMY
I have been waiting for you to do a Charger, Challenger, or other Hemi cars and this seems like the perfect one. I'd like to see what you do to it in the future.
0:01 Banger video starts
Let's see a full motor rebuild on it. With some upgrades of course! Make that 200k a freshie. Maybe find you a supercharger somewhere?? Maybe??? It might take a big but a build series would be cool from ya! Keep it up man!
Like this comment
Dude you got one hell of a deal please "Doll it up" I wanna hear it with some speedys on it.
That ss you driving is a gem and is worth hella money
A RIPP supercharger would be absolutely insane on this thing
5:46 dude knows what's up, evo 🔥
The parent mobile slept on 😮💨
This is how my pops found all his old school muscle cars. Usually got em running after sitting for years and drove em home
if you ever prep this car for boost, you can buy an adapter kit for the hellcat supercharger that will fit on the 5.7, you'd probably have to change the rear end out to handle the power better tho, but would DEF be a sick upgrade
I'm from Detroit, when I heard y'all playing BandGang I was shocked 😂🔥
“i’m not a black belt yet”. LMFAO i ain’t laughed that hard in no telling how long
Upgrade, and trade. That is a steal for that. Yes it's got alot of miles. But if you make it look nice, and a little bit of work. Definitely will be able to trade for something nasty.
Or... Keep it, and beat the shit out of it lol😂
For sure you should tune it and make it a beast! Hellcat swap would be 🔥 Idc what nobody says a 2006 Charger is pretty dope honestly.
You absolutely robbed that man 😂
Clean paint, and the interior looks brand new
Love the blue Silverado.
That chrysler was foreshadowing
I had a blue 03 Silverado ss like that but with 22 rims and a modded exhaust but unfortunately it was stolen in november of last year, it was my very first car, so im glad to see one like it on this channel and ill def drop a subscription!!!
As someone who bought a school bus and converted it to a toy hauler, I can highly recommend doing it. They're awesome.
This is how I used to find cars. Drive around the hood and find old broke down cars and buy them. I would get old caddies and Lincolns for a couple hundred dollars usually it was dumb stuff. Waterpumps, fuel pumps, distributors. Simple stuff and drive em til the wheels fall off
An easy upgrade for the early hemis is to swap on the late model Eagle heads. They flow better and they don't have the valve seat problems
We need another trade series
give it a texas speed performance chop monster cam, strip the trim, paint the bumper, cut the springs and black wheels, also make that hoodscoop functional 😂😂
Its nice seeing youtubers spreading awareness on topics like finding necessities with so little recourses 😅
Has to be my absolute favorite tom video I've ever watched and I'm not even done with it yet 😂😂 Such a cool idea
You see em, you play em. You have to make it cool.Thats the definition of Tom's refurb isn't it?
This video premise is awesome🔥 this whole video was “a vibe”🔥
I live in Maryland and it was so cool to see that on video
Best damn automotive content on TH-cam! Of course you gotta let it ride and trade up
Tom, hold onto that charger for a little while make it nice change the speakers, at the very least pull the valve covers and check the top end but cam it give it a little more power and let that thing eat
As a owner of a 2007 Dodge Charger, you did good just watch the transmission shaking on you because that’s what Mines doing at 176,471 Miles lol so yeah good job 👍
Me and my buddy used to go search like this for hours found many cool cars
love the content tom, it keeps me going after a long day. all love brother!
doll it up for sure we need more of these vids too
I’m so happy with that purchase, definitely doll it up!!
Ohhhhh the car you looked at (seen at 11:50 into the video) is the newer model to my personal car would of been cool to see you rebuild it
Bring us more drive and finds!!!!
i think a trade up series would be fun!
Cam and bolt ons, rebuild trans, tune
Trade up series would be pretty cool to see.
